The invention proposes a method for controlling a network comprising at least one cell served by a first type network device, wherein the first type network device is adapted to serve second type network devices, the method comprising the steps of detecting (S) the downlink load of the cell in a direction from the first type network device to the second type network device, deciding (S) whether the first type network device serving the cell is suited to serve sufficient service to second type network devices requesting service in the cell with respect to the detected downlink load, generating (S) information as to the attractiveness of the first type network device based on the result of the deciding step, and providing the information to the second type network devices. The invention proposes also a device for controlling a network. By the method and the device, the load on a network can be more evenly distributed.

Method and device for controlling the power in an asymmetric soft handover condition

According to one embodiment of the invention, an antenna adjustment method, system and network element is provided. The system includes a mechanism for gathering information on interference in predetermined radio cells, a mechanism for arranging the gathered information radio cell-specifically for processing, a mechanism for determining a tilting factor for each predetermined radio cell, wherein the tilting factor relates to the interference the radio cell produces to other cells, and a mechanism for searching for the radio cells having the antenna tilting factors that fulfill a set criteria.
