1. A device comprising:
a processor circuit;
a memory circuit, wherein the memory is arranged to store instructions for the processor circuit,
wherein the processor circuit is arranged to simultaneously communicate with at least one cells of a first node of a cellular network,
wherein the processor circuit is arranged to communicate with at least one cells of a second node of the cellular network;
wherein the processor circuit is arranged to receive a first request for reconfiguration,
wherein the first request for configuration comprises an indication that a first cell of the first node has to be replaced by a first replacement cell of the cellular network
wherein the first cell of the first node is arranged to communicate with the device,
wherein the first request for reconfiguration comprises a first change condition under which the first request for reconfiguration has to be executed and/or for receiving a second request for reconfiguration,
wherein the second request for reconfiguration comprises an indication that a first cell of the second node has to be replaced by a second replacement cell of the cellular network,
wherein the second request for reconfiguration comprises a second change condition under which the second request for reconfiguration has to be executed; and
a monitoring circuit, wherein the monitoring circuit is arranged to monitor the first change condition and/or the second change condition,
wherein the processor circuit is arranged to replace the first cell of the first node by the first replacement cell if the monitoring circuit detects that the first change condition is met,
wherein the processor circuit is arranged to replace the first cell of the second node by the second replacement cell if the monitoring circuit detects that the second change condition is met,
wherein the processor circuit is arranged to transmit a first message to the first node or to the second node after the first condition has been met,
wherein the first message indicates that the first cell of the first node has been released.
