Claim:
1. A method of operating a mobile radio communication terminal, configured to receive signals directed at the mobile radio communication terminal from an external base station, in which execution of at least one step of the method is controlled according to a device parameter which is assigned to the mobile radio communication terminal and which has exactly one of two possible device parameter values which indicate whether the mobile radio communication terminal is permanently stationary or not permanently stationary, comprising the steps of: autonomously determining the device parameter value by the mobile radio communication terminal by conducting one or more measurements of a variable whose values indicate individually or collectively whether the mobile radio communication terminal is permanently stationary or not permanently stationary; determining the device parameter value according to the value of the variable; and operating the mobile radio communication terminal in at least one of a plurality of application contexts considering said device parameter, wherein a second application context out of said plurality of application contexts includes regularly repeated transmission of a respective current channel quality indicator from the mobile radio communication terminal to the external base station, the channel quality indicator being a criterion for a signal-to-noise ratio or for a signal-to-noise-plus-interference ratio of a channel on which the mobile radio communication terminal receives radio signals directed at the mobile radio communication terminal from the external base station, and wherein the regularly repeated transmissions are performed with a time interval that is individually assigned to the mobile radio communication terminal and which depends on the device parameter value that indicates whether the mobile radio communication terminal is permanently stationary or not permanently stationary.
