Method and nodes for handling a user equipment's access to a mobile communications network

A method in a mobility node for handling a User Equipment's, UE, access to a mobile communications network, the method comprising:

• receiving, from a policy node, access information indicating which geographical areas comprised in the mobile communications network the UE is allowed or denied access to, wherein the access information is based on subscription information for a subscriber associated with the UE and policy information for the UEs access rights to the mobile communications network;
• creating handover restriction information based on the received access information from the policy node;
• and
• transmitting the handover restriction information to a Radio Access Network, RAN, node.

A policy node for handling a User Equipment's, UE, access to a mobile communications network, wherein the policy node comprises policy information for the UEs access rights to the mobile communications network, the policy node being arranged to:

• obtain, from a subscriber database, subscription information for a subscriber associated with the UE;
• based on the subscription information and the policy information, determine which geographical areas comprised in the mobile communications network the UE is allowed or denied access to;
• and to
• transmit, to a mobility node, access information indicating which geographical areas comprised in the mobile communications network the UE is allowed or denied access to.
