The invention concerns a temporary radio base station, temporary RBS (140), which can gain and maintain control of the traffic to and from a targeted radio base station (120) in a wireless cellular telecommunications system (100), and a dedicated user terminal (530) for use the system. The dedicated user terminal (530) comprises an identification device being arranged to identify the temporary RBS (140) by use of unique information being at least embedded in a transmitted signal from the temporary RBS (140). The dedicated user terminal (530) is arranged to disregard the temporary RBS (140) when detected, and to choose the targeted RBS (120), or an RBS arranged to operate in a neighboring cell, in the same manner as if the temporary RBS (140) would not exist. The invention also relates to a method for the devices and a system comprising the devices.
A method of letting a temporary radio base station (RBS), gain and maintain control of traffic to and from a targeted radio base station in a wireless cellular telecommunications system, said system comprising a plurality of RBSs for routing traffic to and from user terminals in the system, each RBS controlling the traffic to and from a certain cell within the system, a number of said plurality of RBSs in the system each transmitting an identity signal and a list of candidate frequencies for use by user terminals when switching RBS, the method comprising the following steps:
A temporary radio base station (RBS) for gaining an maintaining control of the traffic to and from a targeted radio base station in a wireless cellular telecommunications system, wherein said temporary RBS is positioned in or adjacent the targeted RBS, said system comprising a plurality of RBSs for routing traffic to and from user terminals in the system, each RBS controlling the traffic to and from a certain cell within the system, where at least one or a number of said plurality of RBSs in the system each transmits an identity signal and a list of candidate frequencies for use by user terminals when switching RBS, the temporary RBS comprising:
A dedicated use terminal for use in a wireless cellular telecommunications system comprising a targeted RBS arranged to normally control traffic to and from a first cell within the system for routing traffic to and from the dedicated user terminal, the dedicated user terminal comprising
A method of using a dedicated user terminal in a wireless cellular telecommunications system, comprising a targeted RBS normally controlling traffic to and from a first cell within the system for routing traffic to and from the dedicated user terminal programming an identification device with information unique for a temporary radio base station (RBS), wherein the transmissions of the temporary RBS are at such a power level that traffic to and from user terminals in the cell of the targeted RBS are transferred to the temporary RBS and having gained and maintained control of the traffic to and from the targeted radio base station,
