1. A method for determining the type of a mobile radio base station, the method comprising:
- receiving a synchronization message comprising a mobile radio base station identifier; and
determining the type of a mobile radio base station using at least one piece of previously signaled and stored mobile radio base station type determining information indicating a rule as to how the type of a mobile radio base station out of a plurality of types of a mobile radio base station can be derived from a mobile radio base station identifier and the received mobile radio base station identifier,wherein the rule as to how the type of a mobile radio base station out of a plurality of types of a mobile radio base station can be derived from a mobile radio base station identifier comprises a rule selected from a group of rules consisting of;
an assignment of a predefined sub-group of mobile radio base station identifier values to a type of a mobile radio base station of a plurality of types of a mobile radio base station;
a predefined calculation rule to determine the type of a mobile radio base station of a plurality of types of a mobile radio base station; and
references thereof to be evaluated by the mobile radio terminal device.
