Abstract
A method for identifying at least one terminal for which signals transferred between the at least one terminal and a base station of a wireless cellular telecommunication network have to be relayed by a relay, the base station providing a random access channel enabling a terminal to notify to the base station the presence of the terminal by transferring a random access signal to the base station. The relay device transfers the random access signal to the base station, receives the list, identifies, from the received list, at least one terminal for which signals transferred between the at least one identified terminal and the base station have to be relayed by the relay, and relays signals between the at least one identified terminal and the base station.
