The measurement comprises a Block Error Rate, BLER, per: rank, Modulation and Coding Scheme, MCS, and slot. Based on the established measurement it is determining whether or not to adjust the initial ICC estimate, and whether or not to disable outer loop ICC adjustments. The determining is to be used as a basis for the link adaptation of said communication. A corresponding network node is also presented.
