Abstract

Apparatuses and methods for influencing the selection of a frequency band for wireless communication with a mobile station. The apparatus includes a transmission circuit that sends a beacon signal at a first transmission power in the frequency band. The apparatus also includes a recognition circuit that recognizes a connection request from a mobile station in the frequency band. The apparatus also includes a control circuit that responds to the connection request by prompting a transmission of the beacon signal at a second transmission power, which is different than the first transmission power, if the mobile station is unknown to the apparatus. Also disclosed are corresponding methods and computer programs.
