Network access through a second wireless network

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising, stored thereupon, a computer program comprising computer program code that, when executed in a wireless device being unable to access a first wireless network, causes the wireless device to:

• receive, from a second wireless network, information indicating a capability of the second wireless network to assist in accessing the first wireless network;
• access the second wireless network;
• send information indicating an inability to access the first wireless network to the second wireless network, for further distribution to the first wireless network, thereby enabling the first wireless network to reconfigure at least one access procedure parameter in the first wireless network in order to improve the conditions for the wireless device when accessing first wireless network;
• and
• subsequently access the first wireless network, utilizing at least one reconfigured access procedure.

A method, performed in one or more network nodes in a second wireless network, of enabling a wireless device being unable to access a first wireless network to access the first wireless network, the method comprising the steps:

• transmitting information indicating a capability of the second wireless network to assist in accessing the first wireless network;
• receiving, from the wireless device, information indicating an inability to access the first wireless network;
• and
• sending, to the first wireless network, information indicating an inability of the wireless device to access to the first wireless network, thereby enabling the first wireless network to reconfigure at least one access procedure parameter in the first wireless network in order to improve the conditions for the wireless device when accessing first wireless network.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising, stored thereupon, a computer program comprising computer program code that, when executed in a wireless network node in a second wireless network, causes the wireless network node to enable a wireless device being unable to access a first wireless network to access the first wireless network, the computer program code comprising instructions for:

• transmitting information indicating a capability of the second wireless network to assist in accessing the first wireless network;
• receiving, from the wireless device, information indicating an inability to access the first wireless network;
• and
• sending, to the first wireless network, information indicating an inability of the wireless device to access to the first wireless network, thereby enabling the first wireless network to reconfigure at least one access procedure parameter in the first wireless network in order to improve the conditions for the wireless device when accessing first wireless network.

A wireless device comprising:

• a radio communication interface configured to communicate with a first radio network node in the first wireless network and with a second radio network node in a second wireless network, and
• processing circuitry configured to cause the wireless device to, when the wireless device is unable to access the first wireless network:
• receiving, from the second wireless network, information indicating a capability of the second wireless network to assist in accessing the first wireless network;
• access the second wireless network;
• send information indicating an inability to access the first wireless network to the second wireless network, for further distribution to the first wireless network, thereby enabling the first wireless network to reconfigure at least one access procedure parameter in the first wireless network in order to improve the conditions for the wireless device when accessing first wireless network;
• and
• subsequently access the first wireless network utilizing at least one reconfigured access procedure.

A first network node in a first wireless network, configured to enable a wireless device, being unable to access the first wireless network, to access the first wireless network, the first wireless network node comprising:

• a radio communication interface configured to communicate with the wireless device,
• a network communication interface configured to communicate with a second wireless network indicating a capability to assist in accessing the first wireless network, and
• processing circuitry configured to cause the first network node to:
• receive, using the network communication interface, from the second wireless network, information indicating an inability of the wireless device to access the first wireless network;
• and
• reconfigure an access procedure parameter in the first wireless network, based on the received information, in order to improve the conditions for the wireless device when accessing first wireless network.

A second network node in a second wireless network configured to enable a wireless device being unable to access a first wireless network to access the first wireless network, the second wireless network node comprising:

• a radio communication interface configured to communicate with the wireless device,
• a network communication interface configured to communicate with a first wireless network, and
• a processing circuitry configured to cause the second network node to:
• transmitting, using the radio communication interface, information indicating a capability of the second wireless network to assist in accessing the first wireless network;
• receive, using the radio communication interface, from the wireless device, information indicating an inability to access the first wireless network;
• and
• send, using the network communication interface, to the first wireless network, information indicating an inability of the wireless device to access to the first wireless network, thereby enabling the first wireless network to reconfigure at least one access procedure parameter in the first wireless network in order to improve the conditions for the wireless device when accessing first wireless network.
