Abstract
A mobile station for transmitting a mobile radio signal to a base station has a memory device in which a number of available applications are stored which can relate to different "carriers," i.e., mobile radio network systems or service providers within a single mobile radio network. A selection device of the mobile station calculates expected charges for a desired connection for each of these applications which are being considered for the transmission connection. Based upon the calculations, the most cost-efficient application for the desired transmission is selected. The actual transmission of the communication data for the base station is then carried out on the basis of this application.
