Abstract
Embodiments herein relate to a method performed by a second radio network node (15) for enabling communication for a wireless device (10) in a communication network (1). The communication network (1) comprises a first network and a second network, which second radio network node (15) is associated with the second network and a first radio network node (12) is associated with the first network and the first radio network node (12) and the second radio network node (15) are serving or are to serve the wireless device (10) jointly. The first network comprises partitioned sets of functionalities where in a first set of functionalities belongs to a first network slice supporting the wireless device (10), and which first set of functionalities is separated from another set of functionalities out of a total set of functionalities in the first network. The second radio network node receives an indication from the first radio network node (12), which indication indicates identity of the first network slice supporting the wireless device (10). The second radio network node handles data to and/or from the wireless device (10) using the received indication.
