A method of transferring anchor carrier status from a first carrier to another carrier in a multi-carrier wireless telecommunications network. The multi-carrier wireless telecommunications network comprises a base station and user equipment operable to simultaneously transmit and receive signals on more than one radio frequency carrier within a sector of the telecommunications network. The method comprises the steps of: receiving details of a triggering event to be notified to a network node;
said triggering event comprising a measurable characteristic of said first carrier changing past a predetermined first threshold value;
providing triggering information indicative of said triggering event to a network node; determining which of the other carriers of the multi-carrier telecommunications network have a measurable characteristic past a predetermined second threshold value; providing information relating to carriers determined to have a measurable characteristic past said predetermined second threshold value to the network node; and
transferring anchor carrier status, in response to a received signal generated in response to receipt of said information relating to carriers and said triggering information, to one of the carriers determined to have a measurable characteristic past said predetermined second threshold value. |
