Defining logical cells

A network node configured to select a candidate cell to be combined with a target cell, said target cell having radio equipment connected to a radio equipment controller, the network node comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory storing a computer program comprising computer program code which when run in the processor, causes the network node to:
• identify at least two candidate cells where a time delay in communication between any two of:
• said at least two candidate cells and the target cell, is below a pre-determined time threshold;
• select one of said at least two identified candidate cells, having the highest connection activity with the target cell;
• and
• combine the selected candidate cell and said target cell, by connecting a radio equipment of the selected candidate cell to the radio equipment controller of the target cell.

A computer program product stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium and comprising computer program code which when run in a processor of a network node, causes the network node to:

• identify at least two candidate cells where a time delay in communication between any two of:
• said at least two candidate cells and the target cell, is below a pre-determined time threshold;
• select one of said at least two identified candidate cells, having the highest connection activity with the target cell;
• and
• combine the selected candidate cell and said target cell, by connecting a radio equipment of the selected candidate cell to the radio equipment controller of the target cell.
