A wireless telecommunication system comprises base stations 1401 eNodeb for communicating with terminal devices 1403. One or more base stations support a power boost operating mode in which a base station's available transmission power is concentrated in a subset of its available transmission resources to provide enhanced transmission powers. A base station establishes an extent to which one or more base stations in the wireless telecommunications system support the power boost operating mode conveys an indication of this to a terminal device. The terminal device receives the indication and uses the corresponding information to control its acquisition of a base station of the wireless telecommunication system, for example by taking account of which base stations support power boosting and/or when power boosting is supported during a cell attach procedure. The system may operate in a LTE environment and my be used for infrequent communication with a subset of machine type communication devices such as smart Meters which may be reporting from areas such as basements which may need power boosting. |
