In a cellular wireless system, power thresholds used for determining
whether or not to add or drop servers held in a set of servers, such as
an active set, for serving a user equipment are determined on the basis
of the motion of the respective user equipment. A lower threshold may be
used with respect to the adding or dropping of a given server to or from
a set of servers for serving a fast moving user equipment than would be
used for the same server with respect to its adding or dropping to or
from a set of servers for serving a slow moving user equipment, while
maintaining a given quality of service. As a result, the average number
of servers held in sets is reduced in a typical network that comprises a
plurality of user equipments moving at different speeds, compared to a
situation in which the threshold is set irrespective of the motion of a
user equipment. A reduction in the average number of servers held in sets
of servers for serving the user equipment has the benefit of reducing
data traffic loading in a backhaul network, since the need to send
duplicated data to each member of sets of servers is reduced and/or
increasing network capacity, since the radio resource is used more
efficiently because the proportion of servers sending duplicate data is
reduced.
