1. An apparatus, comprising:

  • at least one processor; and

    at least one memory including computer program code, where the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured, with the at least one processor, to cause the apparatus to at least;

    identify an access point of a first telecommunication network as being a neighbor cell to a second telecommunication network by transmitting identity information for the access point of the first telecommunication network to a mobile station, the transmitted identity information using a cell identity information structure of the second telecommunication network, wherein the first telecommunication network is a different radio technology than the second telecommunication network and wherein the transmitted identity information comprises a location area code associated with the second telecommunication network;

    dependent upon at least part of the transmitted identity information matching information given to the mobile station by a cell serving the mobile station, receive, from the mobile station, monitoring and measurement information associated with different radio technologies of at least the first telecommunication network and the second telecommunication network; and

    receive a modified measurement result which forces the first or the second telecommunication network to change the cell serving the mobile station.
