Abstract

A method is disclosed of managing the reporting of the presence of a communications terminal in a communication network including a control rules application entity able to implement a presence reporting mechanism and a credits management entity configured to transmit a request for subscription to the presence reporting mechanism to the control rules application entity. The method includes verifying, during the establishment of a communication session between the terminal and a packet communication network, involving a control entity providing control rules to the control rules application entity, that the control entity is configured to trigger a subscription to the presence reporting mechanism with the control rules application entity. When the control entity is configured to trigger a subscription to the presence reporting mechanism, an indicator of intervention of the presence reporting mechanism is dispatched to the credits management entity, to inhibit a subscription to the mechanism by the credits management entity.
