Appeal No. 2000-1462 Application No. 08/592,427 and it is also alleged that a cordless telecommunications system expanded to communication cells with differing cell radii manages in the expanded cordless range with a lower transmitted power for cordless mobile stations. Independent claim 1 is reproduced as follows: 1. A universal mobile telecommunications system, comprising: an expanded cordless telecommunications system, which covers a picocell range with at least one picocell and a cell range of higher order than the picocell range, with at least one cell of a higher order than the picocell; a picocell mobile station which is assigned to the picocell and connectable by telecommunications to a relay station contained in the picocell, the relay station being adapted such that the relay station is connectable by telecommunications to a transmitting/receiving arrangement contained in the higher-order cell; the relay station having allocated thereto function of telecommunications connection to the transmitting/receiving arrangement assigned to a higher-order cell for forming a cordless telecommunications system including the picocell mobile station and covering the picocell and the relay station also having a function of a picocell base station.
