Claim:
1. A method, in a network node operating in a first radio access network (RAN) according to a first radio access technology (RAT), the method comprising: receiving a handover request for a user equipment from a cell in a second RAN operating according to a second RAT; after handover of the user equipment to a cell in the first RAN is completed, configuring the user equipment to measure one or more frequencies corresponding to the second RAN; based on measurements reported by the user equipment for the one or more frequencies, identifying one or more detected cells exceeding a measurement threshold; sending a handover report towards the second RAN, the handover report comprising, for at least one detected cell exceeding the measurement threshold, a physical cell identifier for the detected cell and a frequency identifier for the detected cell; after sending the handover report, obtaining configuration information for the at least one detected cell, from another node; and using the obtained configuration information for subsequent mobility procedures.
