Abstract

An access node (620) of the cellular network determines a correlation of an identifier of a user equipment (610) with an entry of a Pending Interest Table maintained by an Information Centric Networking node (670). The Pending Interest Table comprises an entry for each data object having a pending Information Centric Networking request (801) at the Information Centric Networking node (670). Based on the correlation, the access node (620) controls a connection of the user equipment (610) with the cellular network. This may involve deciding whether to release the user equipment (610) to idle mode or paging of the user equipment (610).
