A method (300) for a wireless telecommunication system (200) with user equipment, UE (110), and a first node (120) to which a UE may send a request for access to a service, and a control function (160) with information about the access rights to specific services for UEs in the system. The system (200) comprises an interface (150) between said first node (120) and the control function (160), and the method (300) comprises the step (3) of letting said first node receive information about a UE's access rights from said control function, and letting said first node handle access requests to a service from a UE using the access rights information from said control function. The method additionally comprises the step (3) of letting the access rights information from said control function to said first node comprise a code (X, Y, Z) regarding services to which the UE is denied access.
A method for use in a wireless access telecommunications system, in which system there can be a number of user equipment, UE, and a first node to which a UE may send a request for access to a specific service, the system also comprising a control function which holds information about the access rights to specific services for a plurality of UEs in the system, the system in addition comprising an interface between said first node and the control function, the method comprising the step of letting said first node receive information about a UE's access rights from said control function, and the step of letting said first node handle access requests to a service from a UE using the access rights information from said control function, the method being characterized in that it additionally comprises the step of letting the access rights information from said control function to said first node comprise a code regarding services to which the UE is denied access.
An interface for use in a wireless access telecommunications system, in which system there can be a number of user equipment, UE, and a first node to which a UE may send a request for access to a specific service, the system also comprising a control function which holds information about the access rights to specific services for a plurality of UEs in the system, said interface being the interface used between said first node and the control function in order to convey, inter alia, information from said control function to said first node about a UEs access rights to certain services, the interface being characterized in that it comprises, along with said access rights information, one or more codes regarding services to which the UE is denied access.
A node for use in a in a wireless access telecommunications system, in which system there can be a number of user equipment, UE, to which node a UE may send a request for access to a specific service, the node comprising means for exchanging information with a control function in the system which holds information about the access rights to specific services for a plurality of UEs in the system, said exchange of information being carried out over an interface between the node and the control function, the node comprising means for receiving information about a UE's access rights from said control function and means for handling access requests to a service from a UE by using the access rights information from said control function, the node being characterized in that it additionally comprises means for handling the access rights information from said control function including a code regarding services to which the UE is denied access.
