Abstract
The invention relates to a method for deactivation of at least one first cell of a plurality of cells in a telecommunications network. User devices in the at least one first cell are triggered to report measurement information regarding one or more second cells of the plurality of cells to the telecommunications network. The measurement information is received in the telecommunications network and analyzed in order to determine whether one or more user devices in the at least one first cell are eligible for being served by a second cell of the one or more second cells when the at least one first cell would be deactivated. When the one or more user devices are determined to be eligible for being served by the second cell of the one or more second cells, the one or more user devices are transferred and the at least one first cell is deactivated.
