Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method performed by a network node (110) for managing device-related data to be distributed to a communication device (101, 102, 103, 104) in a communication network. The method comprises receiving (304) location information of the communication device from a presence protocol server (120), wherein the location information is received over a presence protocol, and receiving (306) a device identification for identifying the communication device, wherein the device identification is received over the presence protocol. The method further comprises selecting (308) device-related data for the communication device based on the received device location information, and transmitting (310) the selected device-related data to the communication device according to the received device identification. The present disclosure also relates to a corresponding network node.

Abstract: Presented is an apparatus and methods for collecting the implemented data model and version information from an end user device. The apparatus is communicatively connected to the end user device and uses, for example, the Broadband Forum TR-069 protocol or another protocol for communications. The method interrogates the end user device to determine all parameters and their data types by traversing the end user device's data model level by level and instantiating any objects discovered that are instantiable but not yet instantiated. The method archives the data model and end user device version information for later use with like devices.

Abstract: A User Equipment UE sends a PDP context activation request with an invalid APN to an SGSN. When detecting an invalid APN the SGSN creates a PDP context activation request towards a GGSN and inserts a default APN. The GGSN detects the default APN and sends a RADIUS Accounting request message to a Device Management System DMS. The DMS initiates a device management configuration flow towards the UE using IP over the existing PDP context or an SMS bearer and responds with a RADIUS Accounting response message to the GGSN. When the RADIUS Accounting response message is received the GGSN will initiate a successful Create PDP context response towards the SGSN causing a successful PDP Context Activation Response towards the UE. An advantage of the invention is that it can detect devices having no GPRS configuration and devices having a faulty GPRS configuration.
