Abstract

A method performed by a PGW for handling a UEs access to an EPC service via a non-3GPP access network. During a request for connecting the UE to the non-3GPP access network, the PGW receives identity information which indicates an identity of an AAA node from a non-3GPP access gateway. The PGW selects the AAA node which was indicated in the received identity information. The PGW transmits, to the selected AAA node, a request message for the UE. The request message is a request for authorization of the UE to access the EPC service via the non-3GPP access network.
