Abstract
A method for handling a radio-frequency connection between a control unit and a mobile device of an access control system. The mobile device is connected to the control unit using radio-frequency signal communication. The method comprises obtaining an indication of a first event generated in the access control system in response to a first request for the control unit to arrange to carry out an action. After a release of the connection by the control unit, the method further comprises obtaining an indication of whether or not a second event has been generated in the access control system in response to a second request for the control unit to arrange to carry out the action. The method further comprises determining, based on the indication of whether or not the second event has been generated, whether or not to allow the mobile device to re-connect to the control unit.
