Handling of user access-dependent information in a core network subsystem

摘要

An object of the present invention is a method for the handling of user access-dependent information in a system comprising a core network subsystem accessed by an access network, said method comprising:
a step wherein an entity of said core network subsystem obtains user access-dependent information from said access network,a step wherein an entity of said core network subsystem signals to another entity, in the context of a core network subsystem procedure relating to a user's terminal, user access-dependent information obtained from said access network,a step wherein an entity of said core network subsystem uses user access-dependent information obtained from said access network, for control of service delivery to said user.

1. A Proxy Call Session Control Function (P-CSCF), for use in a system having a core network subsystem accessed by an IP-connectivity access network, said P-CSCF comprising:
a first sub-entity configured to obtain user access-dependent information from said IP-connectivity access network from AAA signaling sent by an element of said IP-connectivity access network to a server, the AAA signaling being sent to the server in the context of an access network procedure relating to a user terminal, and the element of said IP-connectivity access network functioning as a gateway with the core network subsystem; wherein
the user access-dependent information includes at least one of (i) a current location of the user terminal within the system and (ii) a radio access technology currently being used by the user terminal to access the system.
