Abstract
A method provides location-dependent services for a terminal of a radio communication system, wherein the terminal receives information regarding at least one service from a local beacon transmitter, wherein transmissions of the beacon transmitter (BE) are compatible with transmissions of a base station of the radio communication system. The beacon transmitter is located in the radio cell of the base station. The terminal evaluates the received signals and, depending on the result of the evaluation, initiates a connection to a base station of the radio communication system.

26. User equipment of a radio communication system, comprising:
-
a transceiver device to receive information from a beacon transmitter and to transmit and/or receive signals to/from a base station of the radio communication system, the information from the beacon transmitter being compatible with signals from the base station, the information from the beacon transmitter relating to a least one location based service, the transceiver device being able to communicate with both the base station and the beacon transmitter only if the user equipment is located both in a radio cell of the base station and also in a radio cell of the beacon transmitter; and a control device to evaluate the information received from the beacon transmitter and produce an evaluation result and to control setting up of a connection to the base station via the transceiver unit depending on the evaluation result. - View Dependent Claims (27)
