Abstract

A method performed by a node in a wireless communication network of estimating parameters used for determining a signal-to-interference measure at a communication device served by a base station, and a node performing the method. The method comprises acquiring an estimate of channel condition between the communication device and the serving base station, and between the communication device and at least one base station of a neighbouring cell, estimating the signal-to-interference measure using the estimate of the respective channel condition, and acquired output power and Physical Resource Block (PRB) utilization of each of the base stations, and receiving an indication of quality of a channel via which the communication device is served by the base station. The method further comprises determining whether a change in the estimate of the signal-to-interference measure is required based on the indication of channel quality, and updating the estimate of the channel condition.
