A generic access network infrastructure controller entity (400) including a controller communicably coupled to a signal transceiver. The controller is configured to send a handover failure message to a dual-mode wireless communication subscriber terminal in response to a handover request received at the transceiver wherein the handover failure message indicates that handover from the unlicensed mobile access network to the radio access network is currently not possible. The entity may also send a time value to the dual-mode wireless communication subscriber terminal in response to the handover request, wherein the time value indicate when the dual-mode wireless communication subscriber terminal may re-send the handover request.
