1. An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor, at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to at least;
make a first measurement between the apparatus and a peripheral device, wherein said first measurement comprises one of a physical distance measurement or a relative position measurement, the relative position measurement performed using one of radio wave detection and imaging methods;
determine a location correlation by correlating the first measurement with a second measure of a location of the peripheral device made using communication channel signaling from the peripheral device; and
select the peripheral device for use based at least in part on the location correlation.

Abstract
Apparatus for enabling the connection of an electronic device to a particular peripheral device, wherein the apparatus is configured to
- determine a first measure of the geographical location of the particular peripheral device using geographical location signalling;
- associate the determined first measure of the geographical location of the particular peripheral device with a communication channel signalling used by the particular peripheral device;
- discriminate the communication channel signalling for the particular peripheral device based on the association; and
- enable selection of the geographical location of the particular peripheral device to use the communication channel signalling to provide for connection of the electronic device to the particular peripheral device to allow the electronic device to use the functionality provided by the particular peripheral device.

10. A computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium storing program code instructions therein, the program code configured to perform a method comprising:
-
making a first measurement between a mobile device and a peripheral device, wherein said first measurement comprises one of a physical distance measurement or a relative position measurement, the relative position measurement performed using one of radio wave detection and imaging methods; determining a location correlation by correlating the first measurement with a second measure of a location of the peripheral device made using communication channel signaling from the peripheral device; and selecting the peripheral device for use based at least in part on the location correlation.
