Abstract
A repeater device (R) for use in a radio communication system comprises a detector (44), arranged for detecting any existence of radio signaling to and/or from a user terminal being situated in a vicinity of the repeater device (R). The repeater device (R) further comprises an amplifier arrangement (46), arranged for amplifying uplink and/or downlink traffic and means (48) for activating the amplifier arrangement. The means (48) for activating the amplifier arrangement is arranged for activating the amplifier arrangement (46) as a response to an existence of the radio signaling. A method for controlling operation of a repeater in radio communication system comprises detecting, in the repeater, of radio signaling to and/or from a user terminal being situated in a vicinity of the repeater. Amplification in the repeater is activated as a response to an existence of the radio signaling and uplink and/or downlink traffic is amplified.
