1. A repeater node of a telecommunications network which wirelessly communicates with a parent node and another node, the repeater node comprising:
receiver circuitry configured to receive a frame of information from the parent node, the frame of information including radio resources transmitted by the parent node with zero power;
processor circuitry configured to:
generate a customized control signal, the customized control signal being customized by the repeater node, and;
generate a modified frame of information from the frame of information by inserting the customized control signal into the radio resources which were transmitted by the parent node with the zero power; and
transmitter circuitry configured to transmit the modified frame of information to the another node.
