Abstract: A method in a mobility management node for handling information in a network. The node is associated with a wireless device being served by a serving network. The node obtains information about that at least one of the serving network and a time zone and a UCI, has been changed for the device, and information about that the change has not been transmitted to a SGW. When at least one of the serving network and the time zone and the UCI, has been changed, and information about the change has not been transmitted to the SGW, the node transmits the information about at least one of the changed serving network and time zone and UCI, to the SGW, enabling the SGW to forward this information to a PGW.

Abstract: This disclosure provides an emergency handling method, comprising: receiving, by an emergency support function (ESF) entity, an emergency indicator indicating an emergency event from a network application server; handling the emergency indictor to derive related parameters including impacted network elements in a network; and triggering the impacted network elements to switch into a network emergency mode by sending an emergency command based on the related parameters. An emergency handling apparatus in a network is also provided. This improves efficiency of emergency handling in a network.

Abstract: An approach is provided for providing token-based classification of device information. A token management platform determines a plurality of tokens. The tokens include at least in part one or more keywords, one or more representative media items, or a combination thereof. The token management platform processes and/or facilitates a processing of a communication history, one or more personal information sources, or a combination thereof associated with a user to determine one or more frequency counts of respective one or more of the tokens. The token management platform then determines to cause, at least in part, a generation of recommendation information based, at least in part, on the one or more frequency counts of the respective one or more tokens.

Abstract: Methods for collecting UE statistics in a specific area and the respective device and node are disclosed. The method in a first core network node comprises in response to receiving from a second core network node or an application functionality a command requesting UE statistics of idle UEs and connected UEs located in at least one base station covering at least a part of the specific area, transmitting at least one UE statistics request message to the at least one base station to trigger the base station to obtain UE statistics of idle UEs for the base station.
