The present disclosure teaches a method and a system (10; 510; 710) for relaying telecommunication signals (S1, S2), wherein the telecommunication signals (S1, S2) have a plurality of carriers (401, 402). The system (10; 510; 710) comprises a central hub (20; 520; 720) connectable to one or more base stations (5, 6; 505, 506); a plurality of remote units (80-1, . . . , 80-N; 580-1, . . . , 580-7; 780-1, . . . , 780-9) for relaying at least one of the plurality of carriers (401, 402) in the telecommunication signals (S1 S2) supplied by the central hub (20; 520; 720). Power of the plurality of remote units (80-1, . . . , 80-N; 580-1, . . . , 580-7; 780-1, . . . , 780-9) is adjustable such that first ones of the plurality of remote units (80-1, . . . , 80-N; 580-1, . . . , 580-7; 780-1, . . . , 780-9) can be switched off and second ones of the plurality remote units (80-1, . . . , 80-N; 580-1, . . . , 580-7; 780-1, . . . , 780-9) can have adjusted power levels to compensate for the switch off of the first ones of the plurality of remote units (80-1, . . . , 80-N; 580-1, . . . , 580-7; 780-1, . . . , 780-9).
