Abstract
A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided to manage and use access information in a transitional and/or multigenerational network environment. In some example implementations, an indication associated with the availability of services associated with a second network is received during the performance of procedures associated with a layer of a first network. Based at least in part on the indication associated with the availability of second network services in the location associated with a mobile device, a control signal is generated causing a reconfiguration of a mobile device. Some example embodiments arise in the context of the fifth generation (5G) networks deployed alongside Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks, such that the mobile device can be reconfigured based at least in part on the availability or unavailability of 5G service.
