Handling a request to initiate a call

Abstract

There is provided a method for handling a request to initiate a call. The method is performed by a server entity. In response to receiving a first request for a first client entity to initiate a call to a second client entity without the second client entity rendering a notification of the call, transmission of a first message is initiated towards one or more third client entities to inform the one or more third client entities of the first request. The first client entity is authorised to initiate the call only if a second message, acknowledging the first request, is received from at least one of the one or more third client entities.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
