The IMS node (12) transmits to a network node (13), data indicating a notification of a direction for a communication and information related to an additional service for the communication; and receives, from the network node, an indication of an action related to the communication and/or data related to the additional service.

Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to a method performed by a first network node (140) in a wireless communications network (100), for handling media channels during an ongoing media session. The ongoing media session is a session comprising a first UE (120), a second UE (121) and the first network node (140). The first network node (140) obtains, from the first UE (120), a voice instruction comprising a keyword for invoking a third party service within the media session. The first network node (140) further detects the keyword for invoking the third party service within the media session. The first network node (140) modifies, based on the detection of the keyword, a media channel between the first network node (140) and the second UE (121) to be silent. The first network node (140) further modifies, based on the detection of the keyword, a media channel between the first network node (140) and a third party network device (150) to be unsilent.

The method comprises receiving (100) information indicative of whether user equipments are currently registered to a service, storing (102) the received information indicative of whether user equipments are currently registered to a service. The method also comprises receiving (104) a request associated with managing current registrations to services for one or more user equipments and initiating (106) an action to manage current registrations to services for one or more user equipments in accordance with the request.

Abstract: A network node for handling access to sharing media in a media session in an Over The Top (OTT) Digital Assistant (DA). The media shall be shared between a first participant A and a second participant B in a communications network. The first participant A has access to sharing media in the media session in the OTT DA. The network node receives a request for access from the OTT DA. The request for access relates to the first participant A requesting access for the second participant B to sharing media in the media session in the OTT DA. The network node forwards the request to an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) node in the communications network, to trigger the IMS node to switch on the sharing of media in the media session in the OTT DA for the second participant B, when authorised by the participant B.

Abstract: A method performed by an Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem, IMS, node, for handling a setup of a session between a first User Equipment, UE, and a second UE, in a communications network is provided. The IMS node receives (301) a request to setup a session from the first UE to the second UE. The request indicates a privacy value which the first UE has requested to apply for the session. The IMS node sends (302) a request to a server node. The request comprises an identity of the first UE and the privacy value. The request requests the server node to analyse the reputation of the first UE based on the identity of the first UE and the privacy value. The IMS node receives (303) a response from the server node. The response indicates the analysed reputation of the first UE. The IMS node then decides (304) how to handle the session setup and session privacy, based on the analysed reputation of the first UE.

Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to a method performed by an IMS node for handling data of a UE, in a communication network, wherein the communication network comprises partitioned sets of functionalities of one or more core networks wherein each set of functionalities belongs to a network slice. The IMS node receives, from the UE, a message for registering the UE to the IMS node, wherein the message comprises a slice indication indicating a network slice identity and a UE indication identifying the UE. The IMS node stores a registration of the UE in the IMS node, in addition to a previously stored registration of the UE, with the proviso that the indicated network slice identity differs from a previous network slice identity of the previously stored registration of the UE and thereby allowing parallel active communications using the registration and the previously stored registration.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a network node, a communication device, capable of selective and network based automated answering of audio/video calls. When there is a provision in the network node, that an in-coming call from a calling party is to be auto-answered by a call receiving party, the network node adds an indication to a part of the call. The call is then provided to the call receiving party, where the indication instructs it to auto-answer the call. It is advantageous that selective and network-based automated answering of calls is provided to communication devices such as wearables, 5G- or IoT devices.

Abstract: A method performed by an IP Multimedia Core Network Subsystem (IMS) node, for enabling management of events occurring in a network slice of a communication network that comprises partitioned sets of functionalities wherein each set of functionalities belongs to a dedicated network slice, and wherein a set of functionalities is separated from other sets of functionalities. The IMS node obtains, from a core network node responsible for policy control, an indication of a first action relating to a session established in the network slice, wherein said first indication comprises a first network slice identifier. The IMS node sends, to a managing node, a message indicating a second action to be performed in the managing node in response to the first action relating to the session established in the network slice, wherein the message comprises a second network slice identifier identifying the first network slice in which the first action occurred.
