Abstract  Abstract

A computer-implemented method (300), comprising: monitoring (304), via a network node (100), the proximity between a first and a second mobile device (102, 104) that are in wireless communication with each other; and characterized by facilitating (314), by means of the network node (100), a selective conversion of a first service flow of a data plane between the first and second mobile devices, indirectly through an access node of radio network using a first radio access technology to direct using a second radio access technology, in response to the determination that a first criterion has been met; facilitate (320), by the network node (100), a selective conversion of the first service flow, from direct using the second radio access technology to indirect using the first radio access technology, in response to determination that a second criterion is met; and receiving (302), via the network node (100), from the first mobile device 102, information indicative of the ability of the first mobile device to communicate directly with the second mobile device 104 using the second radio access technology, in that a second data plane service flow through the radio network access node is maintained while the first service flow is direct between the first and second mobile devices; and the first service flow is on a first carrier of an aggregation of a series of carriers and the second service flow is on a second carrier of the aggregation of the series of carriers while directly using the second access technology of radio.
