Abstract
Example embodiments presented herein are directed towards a physical node, and corresponding methods therein, for providing authentication of a wireless device within a visiting wireless network while the wireless device is in a roaming state. The wireless device is registered to a home wireless network. The physical node further comprises a virtual representation of a functionality of at least one core network node controlled by the home wireless network.
