Abstract

A terminal device for use with a wireless telecommunications system, the terminal device comprising: a transmitter; a receiver configured to receive a measurement radio signal from each of one or more potential relay nodes of the wireless telecommunications system, each measurement radio signal being transmitted using the same predetermined radio frequency band and identifying the one of the potential relay nodes from which it is transmitted; and a controller configured: to measure a characteristic of each received measurement radio signal, and based on each received measurement radio signal and its measured characteristic, to determine a suitable one of the one or more potential relay nodes for acting as a relay node for relaying the further radio signal between the terminal device and the infrastructure equipment.
