Abstract
The invention proposes a method for handing over a session between a source network which provides a first connection type domain and a target network which provides the first connection type domain and a second connection type domain, comprising informing a network node (e.g., a user equipment (UE)), before performing forming a handover from the source network to the target network, a preferred transfer domain in the target network. The invention also proposes a corresponding network node and a network control element.

1-36. (canceled)
A method comprising:
- handing over a session between a source network which provides a first connection type domain and a target network which provides the first connection type domain and a second connection type domain;
- and
- receiving, before performing a handover from the source network to the target network, a preferred transfer domain in the target network.
A network node comprising a processor, the processor being configured to:
- hand over a session between a source network which provides a first connection type domain and a target network which provides the first connection type domain and a second connection type domain;
- and
- receive, before performing a handover from the source network to the target network, a preferred transfer domain in the target network.
A network control element comprising a processor, the processor being configured to:
- handover over a session of a network node between a source network which provides a first connection type domain and a target network which provides the first connection type domain and a second connection type domain;
- and
- send a preferred transfer domain in the target network to a network node before the network node performs a handover from the source network to the target network.
A computer program product comprising at least one computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable program code portions stored therein, the computer-executable program code portions comprising:
- program code instructions for handing over a session between a source network which provides a first connection type domain and a target network which provides the first connection type domain and a second connection type domain;
- and
- program code instructions for receiving, before performing a handover from the source network to the target network, a preferred transfer domain in the target network
