Abstract

A method is provided of selecting length of time of inactivity on a channel dedicated by a telecommunications base station to communications with a first user terminal to be detected for the channel to be released for use by another user terminal. The length of time is selected dependent upon the expected base station transmit power required for communications to the first user terminal.
