Abstract: The invention refers to a method for establishing a radio connection (4, 5) for transmitting and receiving data across one of a plurality of radio interfaces (2, 3) of a mobile radio telecommunication terminal (1). The multiple radio interfaces (2, 3) serve for data transmission and reception across radio connections (4, 5) according to various radio protocols within different sub-radio access networks (9, 10). The coverage of sub-radio access networks (9, 10) is determined and the radio connection (4, 5) is established across at least one of the available sub-radio access networks (9, 10).

Abstract: The present invention refers to a method and to a registration server for activating a radio interface provided in a radio user terminal. The user terminal comprises at least one first radio interface compliant with at least one first network standard, e. g. GPRS, and a further radio interface to be activated compliant with a further network standard, e. g. WLAN. At least one of the first radio interfaces is already activated at the time of activation of the further radio interface. In order to simplify activation of the radio interface, it is suggested that the further radio interface is activated over the air using a first radio interface already activated for transmitting activation parameters to the user terminal for activating the further radio interface.
