Abstract:
There is provided a method comprising receiving, at a control node associated with a plurality of access points of a first network (e.g. a WLAN Interworking Gateway-WIG), information from an access point of a second network (e.g. an eNB of a LTE network), wherein the received information is useable by the control node to perform at least one association procedure (e.g. AP selection, local IP and MAC address assignment, admission control, authentication) with an access point of the first network (e.g. WLAN) on behalf of a user equipment, said user equipment being associated with the second network, performing said at least one association procedure and providing association procedure information to the access point of the second network.
