Transmission of a synchronization signal within a cellular telecommunication network with temporarily increased transmitting power
First Claim
1. Method for transmitting a synchronization signal within a cellular telecommunication network, the method comprising activating a first base station of the cellular telecommunication network, informing at least one second base station, which is a potentially interfering base station with respect to the first base station, about the activation of the first base station, and broadcasting the synchronization signal by the at least one second base station with a temporarily increased transmitting power, wherein the broadcasting the synchronization signal is performed in response to activating the first base station.

Abstract
It is described a method for transmitting a synchronization signal within a cellular telecommunication network. The method includes activating a first base station of the cellular telecommunication network, informing at least one second base station, which is a potentially interfering base station with respect to the first base station, about the activation of the first base station, and broadcasting the synchronization signal by the at least one second base station with a temporarily increased transmitting power. It is further described a second base station for transmitting a synchronization signal to another base station of the cellular telecommunication network and a central network element, which is adapted to prompt a base station in order to transmit a synchronization signal. Furthermore, it is described a program element, which is adapted for controlling the described synchronization signal transmitting method.
