Embodiments of the invention include an entity, such as ePDG or TWAN entity, capable of serving a User Equipment for WLAN access to ± Packet Core such as EPC of a mobile network, said entity configured to: - provide at least one of: ¢ an indication whether IMEI checking is requested, ¢ an indication whether IMEI checking by a visited EIR or by a home EIR is requested, ¢ an indication of an action to be taken upon IMEI check result.

In an embodiment, a method for support of emergency services over WLAN access to 3GPP Evolved Packet Core EPC for unauthenticated Users comprises: - in response to a request to provide a user identity for access authentication, a User Equipment UE providing a specific NAI-based user identity having a realm part indicating unauthenticated access for emergency services, - an authenticator, such as TWAN entity for Trusted WLAN access or ePDG for Untrusted WLAN access, routing a message from said UE, based on said realm part, towards a specific 3GPP AAA Server serving a domain dedicated to unauthenticated access for emergency services, - said specific 3GPP AAA Server granting access to said UE, and providing specific authorization data that allow network access for emergency services to said UE.

Embodiments of the invention include a database, referred to as Shared Data Layer SDL, of a mobile network, said database configured to: - support data sharing between mobile network entities, said data including data related to user location change reporting, said mobile network entities including at least one entity, such as RAN entity or CN entity such as CCF, referred to as serving entity, and at least one entity needing User location Information, referred to as application entity, such as Policy controller referred to as PCRF or API exposure Function referred to as SCEF.

Embodiments of the invention include a mobile network entity, such as MME/SGSN or AMF, providing access and mobility management functions, said mobile network entity configured to: - send to a mobile network entity, such as PGW or SMF, providing Gateway control plane functions, a request to initiate the release of an established connectivity for a User Equipment UE when no service that breaks (or that makes user's experience unacceptable) at IP address change of the UE, referred to as sensitive service, is on-going on said established connectivity.
