Abstract
A method of influencing operation of user equipment in a wireless telecommunications network, a computer program product and network control node operable to perform that method. The method comprises: providing user equipment with a neighbor cell list; selecting at least one priority criteria to be applied by user equipment to a cell included in said neighbor cell list; and communicating the selected priority criteria to user equipment, determining an action to be taken by user equipment in relation to a cell meeting said priority criteria and communicating said action to user equipment and wherein the action comprises: a measurement performance requirement to be applied in relation to a cell having a priority. It will be appreciated that aspects and embodiments may define a means to manage an expected increase in size of an NCL in HetNet deployments without a need to significantly increase user equipment complexity to meet measurement performance requirements.
