Abstract

A method for enhancing privacy in an Access Network, AN, comprising one or more AN components and a AN Intelligent Controller, AN-IC, wherein at least a AN component contains an interface node, especially a E2 Node, wherein a AN-IC is composed of at least: a AN-IC application configured to request and/or subscribe to one or more AN parameters from an interface node, via the AN-IC; one or more policy elements, each policy element containing a behavior to be applied to a matching requests or a related AN parameter, wherein behavior refers to allowing/rejecting a request, modifying a AN parameter and/or generating a further AN parameter analogous to the AN parameter; and one or more logical connections between the AN-IC and the interface nodes, especially a E2 interface, wherein the AN-IC is configured to match policy elements to matching requests, the method comprising the following steps: sending, by the AN-IC to an interface node, a request for a AN parameter related to the interface node; receiving, by the AN-IC from the interface node, an interface node message containing the AN parameter requested in the sending step; receiving, by the AN-IC from the AN-IC application, a further request for the AN parameter in the sending step; matching, by the AN-IC, the further request to a policy element based on the information contained in the further message request or interface node message, especially to at least one of: interface node and/or interface node type, especially an interface node identifier or an Object Identifier, OID identifying the type of the interface node, especially a E2 node and/or E2 Service Model, E2SM; requested AN parameter, especially an Object Identifier, OlD identifying a variable within an interface node or within a E2 Service Model; and requester AN-IC application, especially an xApp application identifier or rApp application identifier.
