Abstract
A wireless communication device (10), an access node (30S) of a cellular network (50A, 50B) and methods (20; 40) of operating the same are provided. The methods (20; 40) comprise: communicating (201; 401), from the access node (30S) to the wireless communication device (10), information associated with at least one further access node (30F) of the cellular network (50A, 50B). The information comprises a type of a core network (40A, 40B) with which the at least one further access node (30F) is associated. Furthermore, the information enables the wireless communication device (10) to control (202) selection of the at least one further access node (30F).
