Abstract
A method in at least one radio network node for handling earner selection comprises measuring at least one of interference or load levels on at least two uplink carriers, said measurement being performed in at least one sector of each carrier, calculating an offset based on said measured Interference or said measured load levels on the at least two uplink carriers, said offset reflecting the interference or load difference between the uplink carriers, and signaling said offset to a communication device, thereby allowing said communication device to base its carrier selection for random access at least on said measured interference or load levels on said at least two uplink carriers.
