Abstract
In a method for transferring information between wireless networks of different technology types, a node in the first network receives configuration information associated with a plurality of nodes of the second network, the information including identifying information for radio access controllers associated with neighboring cells of the second technology type. After it has received the configuration information, the node in the first network sends the identifying information to a plurality of access nodes in the first network via which mobile devices access the first network. The invention is particularly, but not exclusively, applicable where the first network is in accordance with LTE and the second one with UMTS, and the information includes RNC-ids for use in handover from the LTE to the UMTS network.
