1. A mobile telecommunications system anchor base station for a mobile telecommunications system including at least one anchor cell being a control plane cell and at least one slave cell being a user plane cell, wherein the at least one slave cell is associated with the anchor cell, the anchor base station comprising circuitry being configured to:
obtain geolocation information of a user equipment for determining whether a specific beam of a plurality of possible beams is suitable for the user equipment being located at a location identified by the geolocation information;
when the user equipment is in a radio resource control connected state, transmit system information based on beam information, wherein the beam information identifies the specific beam to be used to transmit data to the user equipment; and
transmit user plane cell specific system information or control plane cell specific information, including scheduling information indicating a broadcast schedule for the specific beam.
