Adaptive channel orchestration

A cellular communication method comprising:

• receiving or transmitting a signal using antenna circuitry on a chosen channel of a portion of a radio spectrum, wherein the portion of the radio spectrum is divided into one or more channels according to a definition, the one or more channels including the chosen channel, each channel of the one or more channels occupying a bandwidth of the portion of the radio spectrum;
• determining whether to:
• change the definition of the one or more channels of the radio spectrum by changing a bandwidth of at least one of the one or more channels to reduce an effect of interference on the one or more channels,
• change the definition of the one or more channels of the radio spectrum by changing a center frequency of at least one of the one or more channels to reduce an effect of the interference on the one or more channels,
• change the definition of the one or more channels of the radio spectrum by deactivating a selection of unused channels of the one or more channels to reduce an effect of the interference on the one or more channels, and
• change the definition of the one or more channels of the radio spectrum by increasing a power of the chosen channel to reduce an effect of the interference on the one or more channels;
• and
• communicating the definition of the one or more channels of the radio spectrum to one or more items of user equipment.

A cellular communication apparatus comprising:

• base station means for receiving or transmitting a signal using antenna circuitry on a chosen channel of a portion of a radio spectrum, wherein the portion of the radio spectrum is divided into one or more channels according to a definition, the one or more channels including the chosen channel, each channel of the one or more channels occupying a bandwidth of the portion of the radio spectrum;
• and
• base station means for determining whether to:
• change the definition of the one or more channels of the radio spectrum by changing a bandwidth of at least one of the one or more channels to reduce an effect of interference on the one or more channels,
• change the definition of the one or more channels of the radio spectrum by changing a center frequency of at least one of the one or more channels to reduce an effect of the interference on the one or more channels,
