The method comprises receiving a trigger comprising a DCN-type indicator from a home network () of the roaming UE (), and determining, responsive to the reception of the DCN-type indicator, whether an DCN-type indicated by the received DCN-type indicator is supported by the visited network (). The method further comprises determining, if the DCN-type is not supported by the visited network (), an alternative DCN-type supported by the visited network () and allocating, by the visited network (), the roaming UE () to a DCN () of the alternative DCN-type.
