Abstract
The invention relates to coordination of network function, NF, consumers subscribing to analytics events from a second network node. According to embodiments of the invention procedures for suppressing the notification related to an analytics event for specific NF consumers are introduced. The procedures are performed between a first network node and the second network node, where the first network node 100 may be seen as a controlling function and the second network node may be seen as a controlled function. The procedures are based on a list of NF consumers subscribing to an analytics event and their respective notification status associated with the analytics event. Depending on the list of NF consumers, the second network node may transmit or suppress notifications associated with the analytics event to the NF consumers.
