Abstract:
A cellular network comprising one or more user transceiver stations located within a first coverage area and that are each configured to provide radio coverage over a corresponding second coverage area by exploiting a selected frequency band among a respective set of frequency bands. When a user equipment within one first coverage area of requests to exchange user traffic, the cellular network selects a group of candidate user transceiver stations located within the first coverage area based on the position of the user equipment within the first coverage area; select a group of candidate frequency bands among sets of frequency bands of the user transceiver stations located within said one first coverage area; and allow the user equipment to exchange user traffic with one or more selected user transceiver stations exploiting a selected frequency band.
