FIELD: mobile communications.
SUBSTANCE: each time when it is necessary to output information on available mobile telecommunication networks, it is required to determine if output of information on available mobile telecommunication networks is allowed on the basis of the number of information transmissions performed within certain period of time. If the transmission is allowed, information on available mobile telecommunication networks is transmitted and number of performed transmissions is registered; otherwise information transmission is stopped. When value of the period for decision making is changed, the record of transmission number is updated. If after stop of information transmission a request is received for information output, this request is left without answer or the information is transmitted after delay.
EFFECT: protection of Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) against frequent interaction operations of network selection.
