Abstract

In a mobile communication network, a radio node and related method for reducing a signal-to-noise-and-interference ratio (SINR) requirement for a transmission in a scheduling interval. The node estimates a frequency resource utilization in the scheduling interval and compares the estimated utilization with a first threshold. When the estimated utilization is equal to or below the first threshold, the node increases the frequency resource utilization for the transmission, and adjusts a link adaptation for the transmission based on the increased frequency resource utilization. Optionally, the node may decrease the transmit power for the scheduling interval based on the adjusted link adaptation.
