Abstract
A telecommunications system comprises a core network, an access control function and a plurality of radio access networks. Each radio access network communicates data to and from the mobile device in accordance with one of a plurality of radio access technologies. When a mobile device requests connection with the core network via a chosen radio access technology, the core network establishes a connection with the mobile device via at least one of the plurality of radio access interfaces. An access control function identifies the mobile device and in accordance with access control criteria generates an attach response indicating with which if any of the plurality of radio access technologies the mobile device may establish the connection and communicates the attach response to the radio access network via which the mobile device has requested the connection.
