A COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, A WIRELESS TERMINAL, AND A METHOD FOR HANDING OVER A CONNECTION BETWEEN MOBILE COMMUNICATION NETWORKS IN A WIRELESS TERMINAL

The invention relates to a method for handing over a connection between a first (NW1) and a second mobile communication network (NW2) in a wireless terminal (MS1). In the method, at least one data transmission connection is established for the purpose of transmitting information between the wireless terminal (MS1) and one said mobile communication network (NW1, NW2). In the first mobile communication network, the connection type is either connection-oriented (HSCSD) or connectionless (GPRS), and in the second mobile communication network (NW1, NW2), at least two traffic classes with different transmission features are defined and one of them is selected for the data transmission connection of the second mobile communication network (NW1, NW2). In the method, it is also examined what active data transmission connections the wireless terminal (MS1) has to the mobile communication network (NW1, NW2) handing over the connection. When handing over a connection from the first mobile communication network (NW1) to t
