1. A method of operation by a wireless device, the method comprising:
selecting a first core network of a first core-network type or a second core network of a second core-network type, the first and second core networks each available through a cell of a Radio Access Network (RAN) of a RAN type supported by the wireless device; and
selectively configuring a Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) as a function of the selected core network, where the wireless device uses the PDCP for exchanging user-plane or control-plane information via a radio connection with the RAN.
