Abstract:
According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus comprising a memory configured to store information and at least one processing core configured to cause the information to be transmitted toward a user equipment in a downlink direction, partly via a cellular carrier and partly via a non-cellular carrier, the cellular and non-cellular carriers being together in a carrier aggregation, determine a handover of the cellular carrier is likely, wherein the handover does not change an access point providing the non-cellular carrier, and responsive to the determination, disable a ciphering of the part of the information conveyed toward the user equipment via the non-cellular carrier.
