Abstract:
1. A method of grouping a first plurality of cells contained in a subset of cells of a wireless telecommunication network to a first cluster for receiving uplink data from a mobile telecommunication device, and grouping a second plurality of cells contained in the subset of cells to a second cluster for transmitting downlink data to the mobile telecommunication device, wherein the method comprises: performing a measurement of signal power and/or signal quality of signals received by the mobile telecommunication device from at least one cell of the wireless telecommunication network; generating a measurement report by the mobile telecommunication device, the measurement report comprising measurement results of the measurement; comparing the measurement results with a first criterion, selecting candidate cells for the first and the second cluster, wherein the received signals of the candidate cells fulfil the first criterion, wherein selecting is performed individually for the mobile telecommunication device, and wherein the candidate cells constitute the subset of cells; selecting the first and the second plurality of cells from the subset of cells, wherein the first plurality of cells fulfils at least one second criterion and the second plurality of cells fulfils at least one third criterion; grouping the first plurality of cells to the first cluster and grouping the second plurality of cells to the second cluster; selecting a master cell, wherein the master cell fulfils a fourth criterion, wherein the fourth criterion is a minimum connection quality for receiving uplink data from the mobile telecommunication device; and coordinating data transmission and reception in the first and the second cluster by the master cell.
