TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORKS AND DEVICES

摘要

A GSM, UMTS or LTE mobile telecommunications network is disclosed. In addition to the conventional radio access network comprising the base stations (3), one or more additional access points (20) may be provided. An access point (20) is typically connected to the network core (12) by an IP transport broadband connection. The access point (20) is configured to appear to the mobile terminal (1) as a conventional base station. Arrangements are disclosed which allow the Access Point to dynamically adjust the power output through, its CPICH relative to one or more users. In other words, the greater the distance a user is from the Access Point, the greater the output power.
