Abstract

A method and system for transmitting a pilot signal in a cellular radio system which includes a plurality of subscriber terminal equipments and at least one base station, each subscriber terminal equipment being connectable to the base station via a channel, the base station transmitting a pilot signal that is receivable by the subscriber terminal equipments, a load being formed at least by the subscriber terminal equipments that are presently connected to the base station, and each subscriber terminal equipment that is connected to the base station having an active group list that includes the base station. The load in the system is measured to produce a measured load result; and transmission of the pilot signal is halted at least periodically when the measured load result is greater than a set limit value.
