Abstract
Abstract The invention proposes a method for controlling a network, wherein the networks offers services to registered users, the method comprising the steps of receiving (A 1 ) a service request from network device (UE) of a user, checking whether the user is registered or not, and if the user is not registered, generating a response message including a warn information and sending (A 2; B 3 to B 4 ) the response message to the network device (UE) of the user. The invention also proposes a corresponding network device. In this way, a user is informed that he has to register before he can obtain any services from the network.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the response message is a SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) response.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
18 words
3 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein the SIP response is a 403 Forbidden response.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
16 words
4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the warn information comprises a warn-text.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
16 words
5 . The method according to claim 4 , wherein the warn-text is a predefined warn-text.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
17 words

8 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising the step of checking whether the user had a valid registration before or not, wherein in case the user had no valid registration before, in the generating step, the information that a registration is required is inserted into the warn information.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
72 words
9 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising the steps of checking whether the user had a valid registration before or not and whether a de-registration of the user had been performed, and wherein in case the user had a valid registration before and a de-registration of the user had been performed, in the generating step, the information that a re-registration is required is inserted into the warn information.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
32 words
10 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein the network is a third generation network, and wherein the generating step is performed in a proxy call state control function (P-CSCF).
