Abstract
There is provided a method, comprising: detecting, by a first network node from a user equipment, a connection request to a first radio access technology, RAT; determining, before the user equipment is switched to a connected state in the first RAT, whether a second RAT is more suitable to serve the user equipment than the first RAT; and upon deciding that the second RAT is more suitable, providing the user equipment with connection information of the second RAT, wherein the connection information causes the user equipment to directly connect with the second RAT instead of the first RAT.
