Abstract

A network node and method for enhancing message communication between a first network node and a second network node in a communication network is provided. The first network node receives an input message from the second network node wherein the input message contains at least one parameter. The first network node then identifies in the received input message the presence of the at least one parameter, wherein the parameter is unknown to the first network node. After identifying at least one unknown parameter, the first network node sends a request message to the second network node for obtaining meta-data associated with the identified unknown parameter. The first network node then receives a response message from the second network node containing the said obtained meta-data associated with the identified unknown parameter. After receiving the response message, the first network node updates the obtained meta-data associated with the unknown parameter.
