An apparatus and method in a heterogeneous wireless communication system reconnect a Mobile Station (MS) to a previously connected cell upon occurrence of a Radio Link Failure (RLF) in a current cell when a portion of a coverage of the second cell is included in a coverage of the first cell. A Mobile Station (MS) stores system information of a first Base Station (BS) of a first cell when performing handover from the first cell to a second cell. When changed system information of the first BS is received from a second BS of the second cell, the MS updates the stored system information using the changed system information. When detecting that a connection with the second cell is lost prior to a handover from the second cell, the MS performs reconnection to the first BS using the stored system information.

A cell phone (20Z) is provided with a short-range wireless transceiver (28). This transceiver is used to pick up local information from local transmitters (51B). In many instances this local information is insufficient to locate the user, being, for example, information about the local branch of a business (50B) having many branches. However, by combining this local information with a locality indicator, such as current cell ID for the cell in which the cell phone (20Z) is camped, it is much more likely that the location of the user can be established without ambiguity. A service system (40) is provided that has a database (42) searchable by locality indicator and local information to provide the user's current location. As well as, or alternatively to, providing user location, the database (42) can be used to provide information about the locality of the user or about the party controlling the local transmitter (51B) from which the local information was obtained.

In a charging system for cellular communications, real-time prices for new connections are offered to the customer. The real-time prices take into account both prevailing and historic traffic patterns, together with the probability that the customer will move from their current cell into a neighboring cell. Cells of the network are monitored in clusters. If a customer is located in one particular cell, the price offered to that customer will take into account the probability of handover to a neighboring cell during the connection, and may also take into account the probability of incoming traffic from neighboring cells during the connection. To enable this predictive pricing, the system stores, and may also update, historic data.
