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.
