Abstract
The embodiments herein relate to a method in a policy node for handling a UEs access to a mobile communications network. The policy node comprises policy information for the UEs access rights to the mobile communications network. The policy node obtains, from a subscriber database, subscription information for a subscriber associated with the UE. Based on the subscription information and the policy information, the policy node determines which geographical areas comprised in the mobile communications network the UE is allowed or denied access to. The policy node transmits, to a mobility node, access information indicating which geographical areas comprised in the mobile communications network the UE is allowed or denied access to.
