Abstract
The present disclosure relates a method performed in a first Radio network node, serving a first service area, of notifying a Core Network node, CN, of a change of service area for a User Equipment, UE. The method comprises detecting that the UE has changed location between the first service area and a second service area served by at least a second Radio network node, wherein the first and second service areas are being associated with a respective service charge, and providing a notification to the Core Network Node informing about the change of service area for the UE, the indication enabling a CN function to change the service charge for the UE.

A method, performed in a first Radio network node, serving a first service area, of notifying a Core Network node, CN, of a change of service area for a User Equipment, UE, the method comprising:
- detecting that said UE has changed location between the first service area and a second service area served by at least a second Radio network node, wherein said first and second service areas are being associated with a respective service charge;
- and
- providing a notification to said Core Network Node informing about the change of service area for said UE, said indication enabling a CN function to change the service charge for said UE.
A first Radio network node, serving a first service area, of notifying a Core Network node, CN, of a change of service area for a User Equipment, UE, comprising a processor and a memory, said memory containing instructions executable by said processor whereby said first Radio network node is operative to:
- detecting that said UE has changed location between the first service area and a second service area served by at least a second Radio network node, wherein said first and second service areas are being associated with a respective service charge;
- and
- providing a notification to said Core Network Node informing about the change of service area for said UE, said indication enabling a CN function to change the service charge for said UE.
