Abstract

A method performed by an Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem, IMS, node, for handling a setup of a session between a first User Equipment, UE, and a second UE, in a communications network is provided. The IMS node receives (301) a request to setup a session from the first UE to the second UE. The request indicates a privacy value which the first UE has requested to apply for the session. The IMS node sends (302) a request to a server node. The request comprises an identity of the first UE and the privacy value. The request requests the server node to analyse the reputation of the first UE based on the identity of the first UE and the privacy value. The IMS node receives (303) a response from the server node. The response indicates the analysed reputation of the first UE. The IMS node then decides (304) how to handle the session setup and session privacy, based on the analysed reputation of the first UE.
