Abstract
It is provided a solution for assigning to a relay node of a wireless telecommunication system an identifier from which a corresponding identifier of a central node associated with the relay node is derivable according to a determined rule. Accordingly, the identifiers of central nodes and their relay nodes are assigned in a manner which facilitates identification of a central node from a received relay node identifier, thereby avoiding the necessity of consulting higher layer controllers in order to identify the central node.

An apparatus comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more memories including computer program code, the one or more memories and the computer program code configured, with the one or more processors, to cause the apparatus to perform at least the following:
- addressing a relay base station of a cellular radio access network with a cell identifier, characterized by addressing the relay base station with the cell identifier from which a corresponding cell identifier of a central base station associated with the relay base station is derivable according to a determined rule.
An apparatus comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more memories including computer program code, the one or more memories and the computer program code configured, with the one or more processors, to cause the apparatus to perform at least the following:
- receiving a cell identifier of a relay base station of the cellular radio access network;
- and
- identifying a central base station associated with the relay base station from the received cell identifier of the relay base station according to a determined rule.
An apparatus comprising:
- one or more processors;
