Abstract

A method for an improved and simplified operation and architecture of a broadband access network of a telecommunications network and/or for providing fixed mobile convergence (FMC) and/or fixed mobile interworking (FMI) access and functionality to a plurality of residential gateways being connected to the broadband access network includes: in a first step, a unique identifier information is transmitted, by the specific residential gateway, to the broadband access network; in a second step, the unique identifier information is used, by the broadband access network, to decide whether or not the broadband access network is able or configured to provide 5G network access to the specific residential gateway and/or whether the specific residential gateway is able or configured to receive or to accept or to process 5G network access; and in a third step, the FMC access gateway function node or instance is dynamically configured or generated.
