at least one processor; and

at least one memory including computer program code;

the at least one memory and computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the network node at least to perform:

keeping track on traffic load;

determining, in response to receiving information on channel conditions from one or more user devices, based on the traffic load, available resources for traffic to and from the one or more user devices;

using, instead of normal resource allocation for higher priority traffic, the normal resource allocation being based on channel conditions indicated in the information on channel conditions, reliability increasing resource allocation for the higher priority traffic at least as long as there are, based on the traffic load, enough resources available; and

shifting, in response to enough resources not being available and a mixed traffic load of higher priority traffic and non-higher priority traffic, resources from the non-higher priority traffic to the higher priority traffic, the shifting including allocating resources to the non-higher priority traffic assuming better channel conditions than those indicated in the information on channel conditions, and continuing the using the reliability increasing resource allocation for the higher priority traffic.

keeping, by a network node providing wireless access, track on traffic load;

receiving, by the network node, information on channel conditions from one or more user devices;

determining, by the network node, based on the traffic load, available resources for traffic to and from the one or more user devices;

using, by the network node, instead of normal resource allocation for higher priority traffic, the normal resource allocation being based on channel conditions indicated in the information on channel conditions, reliability increasing resource allocation for the higher priority traffic at least as long as there are, based on the traffic load, enough resources available; and

shifting, by the network node, when there is not enough resources available and there is a mixed traffic load of higher priority traffic and non-higher priority traffic, resources from the non-higher priority traffic to the higher priority traffic, the shifting including allocating resources to the non-higher priority traffic assuming better channel conditions than those indicated in the information on channel conditions, and continuing the using, by the network node, the reliability increasing resources allocation for higher priority traffic.
