Abstract

Method and arrangement in a Radio Base Station RBS in a wireless communication system, for handling load coupling in softer handover. The method in an RBS involves receiving () signals from a plurality of UEs connected to the RBS, using a category 1 receiver. Further, the load experienced by the respective UEs is determined (). The effect of load coupling in softer handover of at least one of the UEs connected to the RBS is estimated (), and, when the estimated effect of load coupling of a UE fulfills a predefined criterion (), at least one entity in the RBS is modified (), such that the effect of load coupling is reduced or avoided.
