FIELD: network access technologies.
SUBSTANCE: invention describes an interaction method for fast selection of optimal mobile communication network by user equipment for access to wireless local network; firstly, during setup of connection to access station of wireless local network by user equipment the wireless local network makes a decision, whether information about identifier of access station of wireless local network exists in stored information about identifiers; if "yes", then network selection information, corresponding to stored wireless local network identifier, will be dispatched to access station of wireless local network; in the opposite case, a mobile communications network configured in advance and having highest priority is considered to be information about selection of network; access station of wireless local network identifies the mobile communication network to access in accordance with network selection information, contained in authentication request, and connects user equipment of wireless local network to selected network to perform authentication. The method includes selection of mobile communication network for fast access by user equipment of wireless local network, when user equipment of wireless local network conducts access from wireless local network which is connected to a set of mobile communications networks.
EFFECT: increased efficiency.
