Abstract: A method performed by a network node, for handling an outgoing call from a first user in a communications network. The network node receives a request for the outgoing call to be set up via a first persona out of multiple personas associated with the first user, which request is obtained as a voice instruction from the first user via a Digital Assistant device. The voice instruction comprises a personalized name associated with the first persona of the first user. The network node identifies among the multiple personas associated with the first user, an Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) user ID corresponding to the first persona based on the personalized name received in the voice instruction. The network node sends to an IMS node in the communications network, the identified IMS user ID, and a request to initiate the outgoing call via the first persona of the first user.

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 of operating a Proxy Call Session Control Function, P-CSCF, of an IP Multimedia Subsystem network. The method comprises maintaining a counter for each of a plurality of IP address domains containing IP addresses reachable via the P-CSCF, each IP address domain being associated with one of a plurality of packet gateways. A counter is updated in the event of the failure to deliver a SIP request to a User Equipment, UE, associated with an IP address within the associated IP address domain, at least until the counter reaches a predefined threshold. In the event that a counter reaches a predefined threshold, the P-CSCF responds to a received IMS request addressed to an IP address within the associated IP address domain by returning an indication that the associated terminating UE is unreachable.

Abstract: A node (100) of a communication network receives a request (101) relating to one of multiple services. Further, the node (100) determines whether an overload with respect to the service is present. In response to determining absence of an overload with respect to the service, the node (100) forwards the request (101) for further processing. In response to determining presence of an overload with respect to the service, the node (100) responds to the request with a failure message (102) indicating that the request was not processed. The failure message (102) comprises an indication of a time window after which the request (101) may be retried and an identifier of the service to which the request (101) relates.

Abstract: A communication network allows an end user to dynamically select a user device among user devices associated with the user's subscription as the primary user device by defining a primary capability tag or attribute. Selection of a user device sets the primary capability tag of the selected user device, which is published towards an application server. The application server notifies all other user devices in the group of devices. If a previous user device in the group of user devices was set as the primary user device, then, in response to the notification, the previous user device performs a re-registration with the network removing the previous user device as the primary user device for the services associated with the user subscription. The selected user device also performs a re-registration/registration with the network so all incoming requests for services associated with the user subscription are sent to the selected user device.
