A device (110) arranged for wireless communication (130) has a processor (112) to execute a handover sequence to establish a new connection with a further device (120). A handover request message has a protocol indication indicating one or more alternative communication protocols that are supported by the requester and a channel indication indicating at least one channel to be used for a new connection. Upon receiving a first handover request message including an initial protocol indication and an initial channel indication, it is determined whether the new connection is to be established based on the initial protocol indication and via a selected channel based on the initial channel indication. If not so, the processor determines a second protocol indication and a second channel indication indicating at least one further channel to be used for the new connection and sends a second handover request message. Effectively the role of handover requester and handover selector are switched.
