1. A method of controlling connectivity to a wireless communication network, the method performed by a wireless device and comprising:
setting up a first radio connection to a first access node of the wireless communication network, the first radio connection being based on a first radio technology;
measuring first signal strengths of reference signals from access nodes operating on the basis of the first radio technology;
measuring second signal strengths of reference signals from one or more second access nodes, the one or more second access nodes operating on the basis of a second radio technology;
in response to the measured second signal strengths satisfying a first set of conditions, sending a first type of measurement report to the first access node;
in response to expiry of a time interval without having sent the first type of measurement report, stopping said measuring of the second signal strengths;
in response to the measured first signal strengths satisfying a second set of conditions, sending a second type of measurement report to the first access node; and
in response to the sending of the second type of measurement report, receiving configuration information for restarting said measuring of the second signal strengths from the first access node.
