Methods, apparatuses, system, related computer program product and data structures for informing of roaming restrictions

An apparatus, comprising:

• at least one of a transmitter configured to transmit and a receiver configured to receive, after a network entry authentication procedure, between an access network gateway entity and one of a terminal and a serving entity, generated terminal mobility restriction information in the form of at least one text information element comprised in an authentication notification message, wherein at least one of the following applies:
• the at least one text information element is constituted by a type-length-value information element;
• the at least one type-length-value information element comprises sub information elements relating to at least one of a restriction type, a list of allowed base stations, a list of prohibited base stations, and an allowed location of the terminal;
• and
• the authentication notification message is constituted by a extensible authentication protocol notification request message.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium including computer program code which when executed by at least one processor causes operations data structure, comprising:

• at least one of transmitting and receiving, after a network entry authentication procedure, between an access network gateway entity and one of a terminal and a serving entity, generated terminal mobility restriction information in the form of at least one text information element comprised in an authentication notification message, the at least one text information element constituting terminal mobility restriction information, wherein at least one of the following applies:
• the at least one text information element is constituted by a type-length-value information element;
• the at least one type-length-value information element comprises sub information elements relating to at least one of a restriction type, a list of allowed base stations, a list of prohibited base stations, and an allowed location of the terminal;
• and
• the authentication notification message is constituted by a extensible authentication protocol notification request message.
