Abstract

A network node () of a first radio access network is configured to transfer a user equipment () from the first radio access network to a second radio access network, wherein the second radio access network has a different radio access technology, RAT, than the first radio access network. The transfer is initiated when the network node receives an indication of an inactive period in an ongoing packet-switched data session from the user equipment, and the network node transfers the user equipment to the second radio access network as a result of said indication.
