Abstract
A telecommunication system includes a first node, a second node and a network. The first node is configured with a set of predefined functions and a group of addresses of the telecommunication network such that a session setup request targeted to any address in the group of addresses is routed to the first node, and each address in the group of addresses is associated with at least one of the predefined functions. The second node is configured to send a session setup request to a target address that corresponds to an address in the group of addresses. The first node is configured to determine the function to be performed on the basis of the target address in the session setup request. Information delivery from the second node to the first node is implemented quickly. In the second node the power consumption may be significantly reduced.

25. A system comprising a first node, a second node and a telecommunication network operatively connecting the first node and the second node, wherein
the first node has access to a subscriber database comprising information on subscribers to a defined service and is configured with a set of predefined functions associated with a group of addresses of the telecommunication network such that a session setup request targeted to any address in the group of addresses is routed to the first node, and each address in the group of addresses is associated with at least one of the predefined functions; -
the second node is configured to send a session setup request to a target address that corresponds to an address in the group of addresses; the first node is configured to determine the sender of the session setup request, determine the function to be performed on the basis of the target address in the session setup request and perform the function using the information on the determined sender of the session setup request. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)

32. A network node for a telecommunications system, comprising:
- a subscriber database comprising information on subscribers to a defined service;
a memory configured to store a set of predefined functions and a group of addresses of the telecommunication network such that a session setup request targeted to any address in the group of addresses is routed to the network node, and each address in the group of addresses is associated with at least one of the predefined functions; an interface unit configured to receive a session setup request comprising a target address that corresponds to an address in the group of addresses; a control unit operatively connected with the memory and the interface unit and configured to operate the network node to determine the sender of the session setup request;
determine the function to be performed on the basis of the target address in the received session setup request;
retrieve from the subscriber database information on the sender of the session setup request; and
to perform the function with the subscriber information on the determined sender of the session setup request. - View Dependent Claims (33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39)
