Abstract
A communication node provides information relating to a location of a user device in a communication system. The communication node associates with a relay node for providing the user device with access to the communication system via a cell operated by the relay node. The communication node obtains an indication of whether or not the cell is configured as a mobile cell and provides, when the cell is configured as a mobile cell, information indicating that the cell is configured as a mobile cell to a further communication node.
