Abstract
It is provided a method, including monitoring if a trigger to start a transaction for a user equipment or for a user is received; requesting, from a data layer and based on an identification of the user equipment or the user, respectively, an identifier of a set of one or more nodes when the trigger is received; forwarding the trigger to at least one node among the one or more nodes of the set.
Claims26
Apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code,
- wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code
- are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to:
- monitor if a trigger to start a transaction for a user equipment or for a user is received;
- check if the user equipment or the user, respectively, is served by a predefined serving entity if the trigger is received;
- forward the trigger to the serving entity if the user equipment or the user, respectively, is served by the serving entity.

Apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code, wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to:
- monitor if an indication is received that a first serving node handles a first transaction for a user equipment or for a user;
- store an identification of the first serving node as being related to the user equipment or to the user, respectively, when the indication is received.

Apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code, wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the least one processor, cause the apparatus to:
- monitor if a value of a stored datum is modified, wherein the datum is related to a user equipment or a user;
- check if a notify condition is fulfilled, wherein respective identifiers of one or more sets are stored as being related to the notify condition, each of the sets comprises respective one or more entities, and the notify condition is stored as being related to the datum;
- notify at least one respective device of each of the sets that the value of the datum is modified if the value is modified and the notify condition is fulfilled.
