Method and apparatus for selecting a position for a low power node in a wireless telecommunications system

摘要

A method for selecting a position for a low power node in a wireless telecommunications system, the low power node having an estimated potential area of radio coverage at a location within the radio coverage area of a base station node of the system, the method comprising receiving an uplink signal from a UE in uplink communications with the base station node at a dummy node at the location and incrementing a counter to register the presence of the UE when the power of the received uplink signal exceeds a threshold power value for a predetermined period of time.
