Method For Energy Saving In A Telecommunication System

A node in a telecommunication system with at least one first base station for enabling communication within a first cell,

• the first base station being adapted to transmit a signal having a frame structure in the first cell,
• the structure of at least some frames comprising an overhead part with at least synchronization or system information,
• the first base station in a normal mode being operated to transmit at least the overhead part so that it substantially reaches all user terminals within the first cell covering a first area,
• the node being adapted to control so that the first base station in a power saving mode is operated to transmit at least the overhead part so that it substantially reaches all user terminals within the first cell covering a second area being larger than the first area.
