Abstract
A method and device for setting or maintaining a preferential condition for a mobile terminal. The method includes determining if the base station associated with the mobile terminal is involved in an inter cell interference coordination procedure, setting the preferential condition for the mobile terminal when the mobile terminal is in a communication through a base station not associated with the mobile terminal, if the base station associated with the mobile terminal is involved in an ICIC procedure, and not setting the preferential condition for the mobile terminal when the mobile terminal is in a communication with the remote telecommunication device through a base station not associated with the mobile terminal if the base station associated with the mobile terminal is not involved in an ICIC procedure.
