Abstract
Method performed by a first network node (111) for handling content in an Information-Centric Network (ICN). The first network node (111) operates in a wireless communications network (100). The first network node (111) obtains (502) an indication about one or more network nodes (130) where a request for a content by a wireless device (151) operating in the wireless communications network (100) is predicted to be received in one or more future time periods. The one or more network nodes (130) operate in the wireless communications network (100) supporting ICN. The first network node (111) then initiates instructing (503) at least a subset of the one or more network nodes (130) to obtain the content prior to the one or more future time periods. Also described are a second network node (112), a third network node (133), and the wireless device (151), for facilitating handling the content in the ICN.
