Abstract
A method for determining, in a wireless cellular telecommunication network, if a base station can handle a half-duplex terminal. The base station transfers signals in a cell of the base station, and the half-duplex terminal, when being handled by the base station, does not transfer or receive signals during a period of time, called idle period of the cell of the base station. If a characteristic of the terminal is not compatible with the idle period of the cell of the base station, it is determined that the base station cannot handle the terminal.
