    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product redirect a user equipment (UE) in a manner that is transparent to the radio access network and the UE. A first global identifier of the UE is received during an attachment process to a mobility control node. The first global identifier includes a globally unique identifier of the mobility control node and a local identifier field for the UE within the mobility control node. If the local identifier field has a predefined flag value, the UE is determined to have been redirected from a different control node. If the UE has been redirected from the different control node, a reallocation command is caused to be transmitted to the UE. The reallocation command includes a second global identifier of the UE including the globally unique identifier of the mobility control node and the local identifier field having a first locally unique UE identifier.
