Abstract: A method, performed by a policy controlling node, for handling a service for a communications device. The method comprises receiving, during the establishment of the service, from an application node, a first message comprising a preliminary service information for the service and an indicator of a request to provide network-provided location information; and in response to receiving the first message, providing a second message, to a session management node controlling a data session of the communications device. The data session is associated with the service. The second message comprises an indicator of a request for early network-provided location information to be provided before resource reservation for the service is performed and an indication of a set of policies for controlling resource reservation for the service. The indication of the set of policies is based on the preliminary service information received in the first message.

Abstract: Methods, servers and mobile stations are provided to allow a sender mobile station which has transmitted a message toward a recipient mobile station via a first protocol to be notified that the message has been delivered to the recipient mobile station via a different protocol. The sender mobile station may be notified that the message was delivered to the recipient mobile station via a different protocol method via a disposition notification message comprising an indication that the message was delivered to the recipient mobile station via a different protocol.

Abstract: A method performed by a first network node serving a first terminal when handling a call between the first terminal and a second terminal is provided. The first network node determines that the call is associated with longer than expected delays between the first and second terminals. The network node provides a Long Delay Indication to at least one of said first and second terminals to indicate said longer than expected delays in the call.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for Internet Protocol (IP) Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) support for non-International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) based Subscription Permanent Identifier (SUPI). In one embodiment, a method performed by a wireless communication device for IMS registration comprises deriving IMS registration information based on a non-IMSI based SUPI of the wireless communication device and sending an IMS registration request to an IMS node, the IMS registration request comprising the IMS registration information. In this manner, the non-IMSI SUPI can be reused for IMS access, e.g., when the network administrator does not plan to use an IP Multimedia Services Identity Module (ISIM), IMS Credential (IMC), or any future IMS-specific identity module in the deployed wireless communication devices. This simplifies the deployment by eliminating the need to manage and provision the IMS identity modules for a large number of wireless communication devices in use.

Abstract: This specification presents methods and apparatus in a device and a network node implementing a Bootstrapping Server Function, BSF, for enabling multiple service functions/clients in the device sharing a common public identity and each performing its own registration to one or more (IMS) core network, to use a common bootstrapping of application security based on the Generic Bootstrapping Architecture, GBA/Generic Authentication Architecture, GAA, infrastructure. Therefore, when using Extensible Markup Language, XML, Configuration Access Protocol, XCAP, or the likes, the multiple service functions in the device use the same authentication method for all XCAP traffic or the likes, such as GBA/GAA but enabling it to use the same key sets (e.g., same B-TID).

Abstract: Network nodes for an access network and a home network of a first UE are described for use when routing an originating call from the first UE in the access network including an IMS network. A network node receives a SIP INVITE message associated with the originating call from the first UE, and including a called party number associated with the call. The network node determines whether the first UE is visiting the access network and whether the called party number is associated with the access network. The network node determines whether the called party number is allowable in the access network. The network node modifies and transmits the received SIP INVITE message towards a home network of the first UE to cause the home network to route the originating call to the access network.

Abstract: Network nodes for an access network and a home network of a first UE are described for use when routing an originating call from the first UE in the access network including an IMS network. A network node receives a SIP INVITE message associated with the originating call from the first UE, and including a called party number associated with the call. It determines whether the first UE is visiting the access network and whether the called party number is associated with the access network. A query to a database is performed, the database comprising a plurality of called party numbers, as to whether the called party number is allowable for use in the access network when the UE is visiting and when the called party number is associated with the access network. Instructing the home network to route the originating call to the access network when a response from the query indicates the called party number is allowable for use in the access network.

Abstract: A method of controlling subscriber access to SIP-based services facilitated by an IP Multimedia Subsystem. The method comprises defining at a Serving Call Session Control Function node at least one default screening trigger, and downloading from a Home Subscriber Subsystem, specific screening triggers allocated to at least certain subscribers. At the Serving Call Session Control Function node, at least certain SIP messages originating at subscriber terminals are intercepted and, for each intercepted message and in the absence of a matching specific screening trigger, the default trigger is activated so as to cause the SIP message to be forwarded to a specific SIP application service.
