Abstract
There is provided a method for handling events in a network. The method is performed by a first network node. The first network node is external to the network and is configured to communicate with the network via a second network node that is internal to the network. The method includes initiating transmission of a first request towards the second network node. The first request includes information indicative that the first network node supports a user notification service that notifies one or more user equipments of events in the network.
Claims24
A method for handling events in a network, wherein the method is performed by a first network node, wherein the first network node is external to the network and is configured to communicate with the network via a second network node that is internal to the network, the method comprising:
- initiating transmission of a first request towards the second network node,
- wherein the first request comprises information indicative that the first network node supports a user notification service that notifies one or more user equipments, UEs, of events in the network.
-12. (canceled)
A method for handling events in a network, wherein the method is performed by a second network node that is internal to the network and via which a first network node that is external to the network is configured to communicate with the network, the method comprising:
- in response to receiving a first request, wherein transmission of the first request is initiated by the first network node:
- initiating transmission of a second request towards a third network node operable to support registration procedures in the network and/or initiating transmission of a third request towards a fourth network node operable to store one or more policies for the network,
- wherein the first request comprises information indicative that the first network node supports a user notification service that notifies one or more user equipments, UEs, of events in the network,
- wherein the second request is to register the user notification service at the third network node, and
- wherein the third request is for the fourth network node to store a policy comprising one or more criteria for execution of the user notification service.
-25. (canceled)
A method for handling events in a network, wherein the method is performed by a third network node operable to support registration procedures in the network, the method comprising:
- in response to receiving a second request to register, at the third network node, a user notification service that notifies one or more user equipments, UEs, of events in the network:
- registering the user notification service at the third network node,
- wherein transmission of the second request is initiated by a second network node via which a first network node that supports the user notification service is configured to communicate with the network.
-34. (canceled)
A method for handling events in a network, wherein the method is performed by a fourth network node operable to store one or more policies for the network, the method comprising:
- in response to receiving a third request for the fourth network node to store a policy comprising one or more criteria for execution of a user notification service that notifies one or more user equipments, UEs, of events in the network:
- storing the policy for the user notification service;
- and
- in response to receiving a fourth request for a policy to apply to a communication session in the network that the at least one of the one or more UEs requests to establish, wherein transmission of the fourth request is initiated by a fifth network node operable to provide policies in the network:
- initiating transmission of a response to the fourth request towards the fifth network node, wherein the response to the fourth request comprises the policy for the user notification service.
