A method of performing cell selection for a set of mobile terminals among at least two neighboring cells including a first and a second radio access node, respectively, includes acquiring a value of at least one property reflecting a network condition for each one of the mobile terminals, determining with which one of the first and second radio access nodes each of the mobile terminals initially should be associated based on the value of the acquired property for each mobile terminal, and generating a plurality of variations to the determined initial association based on a corresponding selected parameter. The method includes performing cell selection for at least a subset of the generated plurality of variations to the initial association, and determining a value of a metric for each of the performed cell selections and associating each metric value with said acquired property.

Adaptive cell selection in heterogeneous networks

A method in a network node for computing a Cell Range Expansion (CRE) value. The network node obtains a first value of a measure of the performance of the wireless communications network. The network node creates a first relationship relating the first value of the parameter to the first CRE value and the first measure of the performance of the wireless communications network, based on the first value of the parameter and the first value of the measure of the performance. The network node creates a second relationship relating the second value of the parameter to a second CRE value and a second value of the measure of the performance of the wireless communications network, based on the first relationship and on the second value of the parameter. The network node computes the second CRE value based on a second value of the parameter, and the second relationship.
