For radio-network-based localization, there are a plurality of methods available which, depending on the reception situation of the terminal, allow localization with various accuracies, particularly lateration or pattern recognition methods using a "Fingerprint". Against this background, it is a problem for the present application to be able to perform targeted selection of a suitable radio-network-based localization method when radio-network-based localization can be carried out. The problem is solved particularly by establishing whether radio-network-based localization is possible and by selecting the best localization method.

METHOD FOR FORWARDING A MESSAGE, COMPUTER UNIT, AND COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
Among other things, a method is described for forwarding a message, in particular a call from a first subscriber to a second subscriber, wherein the second subscriber has at least two connections in different communication networks (11, 12). To make it possible to reach subscribers to a computer network (12) in particular from a telecommunication network (11), the following is provided: a) The message originating from the first subscriber is fed to a computer unit (14) within a telecommunication network (11), in particular a mobile radio network, in which the second subscriber is registered as user; b) The connection of the second subscriber to which the message is to be forwarded is verified in the computer unit (14); c) The message is transmitted to a first terminal (16) of the second subscriber in the telecommunication network (11) based on this verification, and/or a signal is sent by means of a media-gateway (19) that is assigned to the computer unit (14) from the telecommunication network (11) to at least one other connection of the second subscriber in a computer network (12).
The invention relates to a mobile radio network (10), a mobile radio terminal and a method for a mobile radio network (10), particularly on the basis of the GSM standard, for communication by mobile radio terminals (38). At least two base stations (12) with antennas for sending and/or receiving are proposed, with the coverage area of a base station (12) forming a radio cell (16). The radio network cell (16) is divided into a local area (26) and a remote area (28) which respectively contain different transmission resources (A, B, C, D) for the radio traffic within a radio cell (16). The frequency bands (A) of the remote area (28) of two adjacent radio cells (16) are provided such that they respectively match in this case.
The invention relates to methods for a mobile radio network (10) and to a mobile radio network (10). The mobile radio network comprises at least two base stations (14) which each have at least one antenna for receiving and/or sending uplink and/or downlink transmissions (26, 28), the coverage area of a base station (14) forming at least one radio cell (16). The radio cell (16) has separate frequency and/or time ranges for the uplink transmission (26) and the downlink transmission (28). For the respective downlink transmission (28) between the mobile radio terminal (20, 22, 24) and the base station (14), identical frequency ranges are allocated to the uplink transmission (26) of an adjacent radio cell (16), or vice versa.

Means for identifying used and unused data memory (30) are provided. The current free data storage capacity (50) is displayed using display means.
G07F 7/10 - Mechanisms actuated by objects other than coins to free or to actuate vending, hiring, coin or paper currency dispensing or refunding apparatus by coded identity card or credit card together with a coded signal
The invention relates to a method for transmitting a transmission signal from a plurality of transmitters to a receiver. The invented method involves a transmission signal being transmitted simultaneously from a plurality of transmitters on the same frequency to a reception appliance such that the signals are overlaid coherently at the receiver. For this purpose, the reception appliance determines the delay time difference and the phase difference on the different reception channels and requests a compensatory time and phase offset for the transmission signals from at least one of the transmitters.
The invention relates to methods, systems and devices for generating and/or using client identities in a communication system, made up of a computer network with data terminal devices and a cellular mobile radio network with mobile terminals which may be operated therein. The identity of a client is generated using at least one piece of time information (TKlient) synchronised with a piece of time information (TNetz) from the mobile radio network. A particular feature of the invention is the use of such an identity or authentication and/or authorisation of access on a data terminal device to data and/or services on data terminal device in a computer network, which becomes the identity of a client.
