Summary:A mobile telecommunications network includes a mobile telecommunications device 1, a plurality of transceiver nodes 5, and control means 21 operable to choose at least one of the transceiver nodes for use by the mobile telecommunications device for uplink communications and to choose at least one of the transceiver nodes for use by the mobile telecommunications device for downlink communications. The control means is operable to choose the at least one of the transceiver nodes for use by the mobile telecommunications device for uplink communications based upon at least one criterion that is independent of received signal power/path loss, such as: the number of the transceiver node antennas; the antenna gain of the or each of the transceiver node antennas; the maximum uplink transmit power allowed by the transceiver node from the mobile telecommunications device; the load of the transceiver node; the backhaul capacity of the transceiver node; and/or the interference level in the uplink to the transceiver node from the mobile telecommunications device.
