Abstract: An internet protocol (IP) access point sends, to a requesting device, a modified version of a first web page comprising first modifications made in accordance with policy handling information, and receives, from the requesting device, a request for a second web page. Responsive to detecting that the request for the second web page comprises one or more of the first modifications, the IP access point sends a modified version of the second web page comprising second modifications made in accordance with the policy handling information to the requesting device.

Abstract: A method performed by a Radio Access Management Function (RAMF) for handling connectivity to a data network is disclosed. The RAMF receives, from a UE, a request associated with connectivity to the data network for an application having a subscription ID. The RAMF selects, based on at least a part of the subscription ID, which Session Management Function the request should be forwarded to, and forwards the request to the selected Session Management Function.

Abstract: Method for loading a web page at a web page requester (2, 42, 101), in a telecommunication network, said telecommunication network comprising an internet protocol IP access point server (8, 21, 44, 85) and a web server (6, 46, 88) hosting said web page. The method comprises a step of receiving a request (3), by said IP access point server (8, 21, 44, 85), from said web page requester (2, 42, 101), for loading said web page and a step of determining (4), by said IP access point server (8, 21, 44, 85), that said web page qualifies for web page loading policy handling.

Abstract: A method performed by a first network node operating in a wireless communication network for enabling events triggered by a wireless device served by the first network node to be reported in the wireless communications network is provided. The first network node determines that an event has been triggered by the wireless device. Then, the first network node context information associated with the wireless device from a database node that is shared externally by the first network node with one or more network nodes in the wireless communications network, which context information indicates that events triggered in the first network node by the wireless device is to be reported in the wireless communications network. After the obtaining, the first network node determines that events triggered by the wireless device is to be reported in the wireless communications network based on the obtained context information.

Abstract: An intermediate network node manages location data of mobile terminals in a wireless communication network and includes a processing unit and a memory, which contains instructions executable by the processing unit, whereby the network node is operative to establish connection with one or more mobility management nodes in the network, establish connection with any one of network nodes requesting location data indicating the location of at least one mobile terminal, receive a request for the location data indicating the location of the at least one mobile terminal from a requesting network node of said network nodes, obtain a set of location information indicating the location of the at least one mobile terminal from at least one of the mobility management nodes, produce the requested location data from the obtained set of location information, and provide the produced location data to the requesting network node of said network nodes.

Abstract: The embodiments herein relate to a method in a UE for handling transmission of an uplink data packet to a PDN. The UE determines if there is any uplink packet filter assigned to at least one bearer that matches the uplink data packet. When there is no uplink packet filter that matches the uplink data packet, the UE determines if there is any uplink packet filter on the default bearer. When there is no uplink packet filter that matches the uplink data packet and when there is no uplink packet filter on the default bearer, the UE determines that the uplink packet should be transmitted to the PDN using a default bearer. The default bearer has not been assigned any uplink packet filter.

Abstract: At present, applying conventional policy and charging control in scenarios where a huge amount of users is supported, such as machine-to-machine type communication devices, represents a number of drawbacks, such as the amount of data to be stored in subscriber databases and the access rate, the signalling load, and the processing performance of nodes. The present invention provides for a method of policy control and enhanced apparatuses enabling the support of user community profiles that apply to a plurality of subscribers, the generation and enforcement of community policy and charging rules derived from the user community profiles and preferably installed upon establishment of a session for a first user. Further sessions to be established for subsequent users of the plurality of users would be enforced with said community policy and charging rules without needs for handling them on individual basis.
