A method for enabling connection of a mobile communication terminal (110)
to a radio communication network, comprising: receiving information about
available radio access networks available in a geographic area (210);
determining a current location of the mobile communication terminal (705)
within said geographic area; based on the received information and the
determined mobile communication terminal current location, determining
available radio access networks covering the current mobile communication
terminal location (727), and attempting establishing a connection to the
radio communication network through a selected one of said available
radio access networks. In case the current location of the mobile
communication terminal within said geographic area cannot be determined
(509): attempting establishing a direct connection with a neighboring
mobile communication terminal over a short-range wireless communication
channel (817, 819); obtaining from the neighboring mobile communication
terminal information (821) about available radio access networks; and
attempting establishing a connection to the radio communication network
(825) through a selected one of the available radio access networks
specified in the information obtained from the neighbor mobile
communication terminal.
