Methods and apparatuses for providing notification data, e.g. in a presence service, referring to a plurality of presentities (B1, B2, B3) to a plurality of watchers (A1, A2, A3) in a communication network. A first notification service manager (300a) operating for a notification server (300) buffers (3:3) multiple watcher specific notifications and sends (3:5) a single joint notification containing the buffered notifications to a second notification service manager (302a) e.g. operating for an RLS entity (302). The second notification service manager (302a) then splits (3:6) the joint notification into the original multiple watcher specific notifications, and sends (3:7) them individually towards respective watchers. Thereby, transmission of numerous individual notifications from one or more notification servers to, e.g. one or more RLS entities can be avoided. |
