The present invention refers to a method for managing within a global heterogeneous network the transition of a terminal 1 connected to a first wireless communication network 3 having a first coverage zone towards a second wireless communication network 5 having a second coverage zone overlapping at least partially said first coverage zone wherein said method comprises the following steps:
- determining the terminal 1 location;
- determining the networks topology of the surroundings of said terminal 1;
if the terminal 1 is in a predetermined area corresponding to the coverage border of said first wireless communication network 3,
- determining available candidate networks 5 of the surroundings of said terminal 1 and,
- selecting, among said available candidate networks and based on at least one predetermined criterion, said second wireless communication network 5. |
