Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A network node includes: a reception unit configured to receive an indication of a call-arrival from an external terminal or from an external application; and a control unit configured to determine whether or not the call-arrival is to be transferred to a computing resource that is configured for each subscriber.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . A network node comprising: a reception unit configured to receive an indication of a call-arrival from an external terminal or from an external application; and a control unit configured to determine whether or not the call-arrival is to be transferred to a computing resource that is configured for each subscriber. 2 . The network node as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the control unit determines whether or not the call-arrival is to be transferred to the computing resource, based on whether or not a PDU session context includes an information element indicating that the call-arrival is to be transferred to the computing resource. 3 . The network node as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the reception unit receives, from another network node, a determination result based on whether or not an information element indicating that the call-arrival is to be transferred to the computing resource is included in a service request that is received from a call-arrival destination terminal, and the control unit determines whether or not the call-arrival is to be transferred to the computing resource, based on the determination result. 4 . A communication method performed by a network node, the communication method comprising: receiving an indication of a call-arrival from an external terminal or from an external application; and determining whether or not the call-arrival is to be transferred to a computing resource that is configured for each subscriber. 5 . The network node as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the reception unit receives, from another network node, a determination result based on whether or not an information element indicating that the call-arrival is to be transferred to the computing resource is included in a service request that is received from a call-arrival destination terminal, and the control unit determines whether or not the call-arrival is to be transferred to the computing resource, based on the determination result.
