Method and arrangement for handling resource data

摘要

A method and arrangement in a notification server (300) for controlling notifications with resource data to a subscribing client (A). When a subscription request is received (3:1) from the client for notifications with selected resource data of one or more resources, the access network currently used by the client is determined based on network related information, e.g. obtained from the received subscription request. The delivery of notifications (3:5) is then controlled based on the determined current network.

1. A method in a notification server for controlling notifications with resource data to a subscribing client, comprising:
receiving, by the notification server, a subscription request from the client for notifications with selected resource data of one or more resources; determining, by the notification server, the access network currently used by the client, wherein the access network comprises a communications network and any one of a home network and a visited network; selecting, by the notification server, a valid notification rule from two or more network depending notification rules stored in a database, wherein the database comprises a first column specifying a client, a second column specifying an access network, and a third column with one or more notification rules valid for a client and an access network, wherein the selected valid notification rule is valid for the client and the determined access network currently used by the client; and controlling, by the notification server, the delivery of notifications with resource data to the client based on the determined current network, wherein the delivery of notifications is controlled by applying the selected valid notification rule, wherein said valid notification rule is defined by delivery of notifications not exceeding a maximum data amount and delivery of empty notifications devoid of resource data.
