Cellular communications device, method and circuit
First Claim
1. A cellular-communications device, comprising:
- a cellular-communications transceiver to communicate via a cellular-communications system;
a first local-communications transceiver to communicate via a first local-communications system; and
a switch coupled to said first local-communications transceiver to switch it on when a first probability value indicates that said cellular-communications device is within a first communications range of a first base station of said first local-communications system.

Abstract
A cellular-communications device comprises a cellular-communications transceiver to communicate via a cellular-communications system; a local-communications transceiver to communicate via a local-communications system; and a switch coupled to said local-communications transceiver to switch it on when a probability value indicates, that said cellular-communications device is within a communications range of a base station of said local-communications system. A communications method comprises providing communication via a cellular-communications system; and switching on communication via a local-communications system when within a communications range of a base station of said local-communications system based a probability value.
