Abstract
A method and arrangement in a first network node, which is serving a user equipment, for determining whether a handover of the user equipment is to be made to a second network node. The first network node and the second network node are configured for wireless communication with each other over a backhaul link in half-duplex communication mode. The first network node obtains an estimation of data-rate performance over the backhaul link, and determines whether to hand over the user equipment to the second network node based on the obtained estimation of the data-rate performance over the backhaul link.
