Abstract
A method for performing a selection of a public land mobile network identity in a shared network environment, in which environment at least two public land mobile network identities are available for providing circuit switched based service to user equipment. The method includes at least a step of deter-mining a capability of the user equipment and a step of selecting the public land mobile network identity at least partly on the basis of the capability of the user equipment among the at least two public land mobile network identities. Information on the capability of the user equipment is either received from the user equipment or from a database including capability information on the user equipment. Furthermore, a network element and a system for implementing at least partly the method are described.
