A User Equipment (UE), Home Agent node (HA), methods, and a telecommunications system are provided for use during negotiation of IP security associations, such as during an Internet Key Exchange (IKE) procedure, between the UE and the HA. The UE sends to the HA an authentication request comprising an indicator relative to a Home Network Prefix (HNP) to be assigned to the UE. Based on the indicator, the HA assigns a new HNP or re-assigns the HNP already assigned, and sends back a response comprising the assigned HNP. If the UE performs a handover to another access network or establishes a simultaneous binding to the other access network, the UE sends its own HNP in the authentication request thus asking the HA to re-assign the same HNP for the new connection being established. If the UE makes an initial access with a network, the indicator may be left blank, asking for the assignment of a new HNP for the UE.
