Abstract
The invention relates to a method for informing a mobile terminal (MT) about the properties of a communication network (NW). The communication network (NW) comprises at least two base transceiver stations (BTS) which form at least two cells (C-C) whose properties affect the functions of the mobile terminal (MT) available in the range of the cell (C-C). The current serving base station is at least one base station (BTS) of the cell, through which the connection between the mobile terminal (MT) and the communication network (NW) is maintained. In the method, the location of the mobile terminal (MT) is determined, the properties of the cell (C-C) formed by at least said serving base station are examined, and information about at least one determined property of the cell (C-C) is transmitted to the mobile terminal (MT).
