Abstract

The embodiments herein relate to a method performed by an AAA server (103) for enabling authorization of a wireless device (101) to access a first network (100a) while simultaneously accessing a second network (100b) which the wireless device (101) is currently accessing. The AAA server (103) determines that the wireless device (101) requests access to the first network (100a). The AAA server (103) transmits, to a HLR (105), information associated with the first network (100a). The AAA server (103) receives, from the HLR (105), network profile data associated with the wireless device (101). Based on the received information, the AAA server (103) authorizes the wireless device (101) to access the first network (100a).
