Abstract
It is disclosed a base station of a cell having at least a first and a second antenna sector, where the base station is distributed in terms of location and a method performed in said base station for determining an uplink power control target for a UE that is connected to the first antenna sector. The method comprises estimating (42, 504), in the at least the first and the second antenna sectors, a thermal noise floor; and determining (44, 516) the uplink power control target based on a maximum of the estimated thermal noise floors in all of the at least the first and the second antenna sectors. The method improves uplink performance of cells with antenna sectors having different receiver sensitivity, and provides enhanced observability of UEs for cells extending over multiple base stations.
