Patent ID: 8452320

Claim:
A method for controlling signals transferred by a wireless telecommunication device of a wireless cellular telecommunication network to mobile terminals, wherein a first and at least one second physical cell identifiers are allocated to the wireless telecommunication device, the first physical cell identifier including information that identifies the cell of the wireless telecommunication device relative to neighboring cells of other wireless telecommunication devices and that further identifies a code for scrambling data exchanged between the wireless telecommunication device and the mobile terminals, the at least one second physical cell identifier providing cell identification without information identifying a code for scrambling data exchanged with the mobile terminals, the method comprises the steps of: determining a first power pattern to be applied by the wireless telecommunication device for transferring signals representative of the first physical cell identifier to the mobile terminals; determining another power pattern to be applied by the wireless telecommunication device for transferring signals representative of the at least one second physical cell identifier to the mobile terminals, the another power pattern being strictly lower than the first power pattern; transferring the first and the at least one second physical cell identifiers and the power patterns to the wireless telecommunication device and/or transferring in parallel signals representative of the first and the at least one second physical cell identifiers according to the power patterns to the mobile terminals.
