Abstract:
1. A method for determining in a wireless cellular telecommunication network in which a half duplex terminal is handled by a first base station, if a second base station is able to handle the half-duplex terminal, the method comprising steps, executed by the half duplex terminal, of: receiving signals from the first base station and from the second base station; determining quality measurements for the received signals; determining a time difference between the reception of the signal transferred by the first base station and the reception of the signal transferred by the second base station; and determining a time advance transmission timing, using the determined time difference, of transmitting an uplink signal from the terminal to the second base station on an uplink channel, the uplink signal received at the second base station at a predetermined timing upon transmission of the uplink signal at the time advance transmission timing,
