Operating and/or configuring a repeater device for enabling the repeater device to be operated together with a user equipment

A system, comprising:

• a base station entity of a plurality of base station entities of an access network;
• a user equipment;
• and
• a repeater device operable together with the user equipment;
• wherein the repeater device is configured to be provided with or receive a piece of network identifier information of a telecommunications network, wherein the telecommunications network comprises or is assigned to the access network, and wherein the repeater device is configured to transmit or retransmit radio frequency signals transmitted by the base station entity;
• wherein the repeater device is configured to receive, as part of a broadcast control channel transmitted by the base station entity, at least the network identifier information of the telecommunications network;
• wherein the repeater device is configured to determine whether the received network identifier information of the telecommunications network corresponds to the piece of network identifier information;
• and
• wherein, based on the repeater device determining that the received network identifier information of the telecommunications network corresponds to the piece of network identifier information, the repeater device is configured to receive and process at least repeater-specific configuration information which is a part of control and/or configuration information of the broadcast control channel.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having processor-executable instructions stored thereon for enabling a repeater device to be operated together with a user equipment, the processor-executable instructions, when executed, facilitating performance of the following:

• the repeater device is provided with or receives a piece of network identifier information of a telecommunications network, wherein the telecommunications network comprises or is assigned to an access network, and wherein the repeater device is configured to transmit or retransmit radio frequency signals transmitted by a base station entity of a plurality of base station entities of the access network;
• the repeater device receives, as part of a broadcast control channel transmitted by the base station entity, at least the network identifier information of the telecommunications network;
• the repeater device determines whether the received network identifier information of the telecommunications network corresponds to the piece of network identifier information;
• and
• based on the repeater device determining that the received network identifier information of the telecommunications network corresponds to the piece of network identifier information, the repeater device receives and processes at least repeater-specific configuration information which is a part of control and/or configuration information of the broadcast control channel.
