Abstract
A telecommunications network for mobile terminals, in particular a wireless LAN network, includes a plurality of network access points defining a network coverage area and each one associated with a respective transmission channel; at least one mobile terminal adapted to move inside the coverage area and configured for performing a transmission channels scanning; a terminal locating server, configured for determining a position in which the terminal must perform the scanning, for determining a set of channels adapted to be received in the position with predetermined transmission characteristics, and for communicating such set of channels to the mobile terminal, so that the scanning, for example, for tracking or handover purposes, can be performed on a limited number of channels, thereby increasing the useful time for providing telecommunication services.
