Cellular telecommunications network

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program comprising instructions which, when the computer program is executed by a computer, cause the computer, in a cellular telecommunications network including a first transceiver providing a first access connection in a first spectrum range, and a second transceiver providing a second access connection in a second spectrum range, to:

• determine that a trigger condition for reconfiguring the second transceiver has been met;
• and, in response,
• evaluate a plurality of candidate transition options, wherein each candidate transition option includes:
• transferring users from the second spectrum range to the first access connection, and
• following the transferring of the users from the second spectrum range to the first access connection, reconfiguring the second transceiver, wherein the evaluating is based on a user impact of a transition;
• select a transition option from the plurality of candidate transition options based on the evaluating;
• cause a transfer of users from the second spectrum range according to the selected transition option;
• and
• cause the reconfiguration of the second transceiver according to the selected transition option.

A system comprising:

• at least one processor and memory configured, in a cellular telecommunications network including a first transceiver providing a first access connection in a first spectrum range, and a second transceiver providing a second access connection in a second spectrum range, to:
• determine that a trigger condition for reconfiguring the second transceiver has been met;
• and, in response,
• evaluate a plurality of candidate transition options, wherein each candidate transition option includes:
• transferring users from the second spectrum range to the first access connection, and
• following the transferring of the users from the second spectrum range to the first access connection, reconfiguring the second transceiver, wherein the evaluating is based on a user impact of a transition;
• select a transition option from the plurality of candidate transition options based on the evaluating;
• cause a transfer of users from the second spectrum range according to the selected transition option;
• and
• cause the reconfiguration of the second transceiver according to the selected transition option.
