METHOD AND A DEVICE FOR IDENTIFYING AT LEAST ONE TERMINAL FOR WHICH SIGNALS TRANSFERRED BETWEEN THE AT LEAST ONE TERMINAL AND A BASE STATION HAVE TO BE RELAYED BY A RELAY

摘要

The present invention concerns a method for identifying at least one terminal (TE) for which signals transferred between the at least one terminal (TE) and a base station (BS) of a wireless cellular telecommunication network have to be relayed by a relay (RL), the base station (BS) providing a random access channel enabling any terminal (TE) to notify to the base station (BS) the presence of the terminal (TE) by transferring a random access signal to the base station (BS). The relay (RL):
- transfers the random access signal to the base station (BS) for obtaining a list of at least one terminal (TE),
- receives the list,
- identifies, from the received list, at least one terminal (TE) for which signals transferred between the at least one identified terminal (TE) and the base station (BS) have to be relayed by the relay (RL),
- relays signals between the at least one identified terminal (TE) and the base station (BS).
