Abstract: According to an aspect, there is provided a controller of a pool of terminal devices comprising means for performing the following. Initially, information on requirements of data traffic to be handled by the pool of terminal devices and data traffic statistics for the pool are maintained in a memory of the controller. Upon receiving results of scanning of available radio access networks and capabilities from one or more primary terminal devices, the controller analyzes the results of the scanning, the requirements of the data traffic and the data traffic statistics to determine optimal radio access configurations for the pool of terminal devices for satisfying the requirements of the data traffic. Then, the controller configures the pool of terminal devices for providing radio access according to the optimal radio access configurations. Finally, the controller provides radio access using the pool of terminal devices according to the optimal radio access configurations.
