Abstract
A network node controls communication of user equipment in a mobile network with cellular network access and wireless local area network access. The network node receives from a further network node, information concerning a wireless local area network access to which the user equipment is attached and information concerning a cellular network access to which the user equipment is attached. On the basis of the received information, the network node controls whether to provide at least one service via the wireless local area network access or via the cellular network access.

A method for controlling communication of a user equipment in a mobile network with at least one cellular network access and at least one wireless local area network access, the method comprising:
- receiving, by the network node from a further network node, information concerning a wireless local area network access to which the user equipment is attached;
- and
- on the basis of the received information, controlling, by the network node, at least one service provided to the user equipment.
A network node for a mobile network with at least one cellular network access and at least one wireless local area network access, the network node comprising:
- an interface for interacting with a further network node;
- and
- at least one processor;
- wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
- receive, from the further network node, information concerning a wireless local area network access to which a user equipment is attached;
- and
- on the basis of the received information, control at least one service provided to the user equipment.
A computer program product for operating a network node comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer readable code, which when executed, causes at least one processor of the network node to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, from a further network node, information concerning a wireless local area network access to which the user equipment is attached;
- and
- on the basis of the received information, controlling at least one service provided to the user equipment.
