Application service platform with access to core network information

摘要

A telecommunications network which is accessible to a user equipment (10) via an access node (110). The access node (110) is connected to a gateway node (120). The gateway node (120) may be co-located with the access node (110). At the access node (110), an application service platform (150) is provided for supporting one or more application services which are accessible to the user equipment (10) via the access node (110). For allowing efficient provision of core network information to the application service platform (150), an association is created between first context data of the user equipment (10) as available in the access node (110) and second context data of the user equipment (10) as available in the gateway node (120). Using the association, information from the first context data and the second context data are provided to the application service platform (150).
