1. A method, comprising:
- determining whether or not at least one existing radio connection utilizing a first radio access technology and a new radio connection being created and utilizing a second radio access technology interfere with one another on the basis of comparison of radio parameters of the existing radio connection and the new radio connection, wherein the radio parameters relate to at least one of frequency, time, and space domain parameters; and
causing adjusting of at least one of frequency and space domain radio parameters of the at least one existing radio connection so as to reduce interference between the at least one existing radio connection and the new radio connection, when it has been determined that the creation of the new radio connection will cause too high interference between the radio connections; and
initiating establishment of the new radio connection after the adjustment of the at least on radio parameter of the at least one existing radio connection.

Abstract
A method for controlling a number of simultaneous radio connections in a communication device is presented. The control of a number of simultaneous radio connections is carried out in the communication device. Parameters of the radio connections are controlled such that interference between the radio connections is minimized.
