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