The method can include, upon a UE entering a VPLMN, the UE having a first PDN connection or a first PDU session that is to be transferred to the VPLMN and associated with a first HPLMN S-NSSAI, determining whether the UE has a first VPLMN S-NSSAI applicable in the VPLMN corresponding to the first HPLMN S-NSSAI. If not, a registration request message can be transmitted to the VPLMN. The registration request message can include the first HPLMN S-NSSAI as a first mapped S-NSSAI for indicating a slice of the VPLMN to which the UE intends to register.

The link arrangement (100, 600) further comprises a classification unit (130, 630) arranged to obtain the link data (X1, X2) from the link nodes (110, 120; 610, 620) and to determine if the link data (X1, X2) are affected by either a frequency dependent disturbance event or by a frequency independent 10 disturbance event. This is accomplished by comparing the first link data (X1) to the second link data (X2) over a time window (T).

Abstract: A method performed by a first base station, is described. The first base station determines a change in one or more measurements to be performed by a UE. The measurements are associated with a first set of frequencies. The first base station also transmits a first message to a second base station comprising information regarding which frequencies in the first set are to be changed. The first base station and the second base station serve the UE. A method performed by the second base station is also described whereby the second base station receives the first message. In a method performed by the UE, the UE receives, from the first base station, a configuration message configured to specify the measurements to perform and a measurement gap configuration. The UE then takes the measurements based on the configuration message.
