Claim:
1. A method for providing seamless communication of a wireless communication device operating within a wireless cellular network, the method including the steps for the wireless communication device: registering to a cell of the wireless cellular network by communicating with a network node representing at least said cell, operating in idle mode, receiving downlink communication from the network node, measuring communication conditions of downlink communication, deciding based on measurement that downlink communication conditions fulfil predefined downlink threshold values, monitoring at least one parameter relative to uplink communication conditions, said step of monitoring including: deciding, based on the at least one monitored parameter, that uplink communication conditions do not fulfil predefined uplink threshold values, wherein the step of deciding includes deciding that a value indicating a degradation of uplink communication leads to the decision that uplink communication conditions do not fulfil predefined uplink threshold values, and in such case, initiating an inter-RAT reselection.
