Abstract
A method in a first radio network controller, RNC, () for handling a reuse of a scrambling code in a cellular network () is provided. The first RNC () defines a set of scrambling codes. Each scrambling code in the defined set is locally reused by at least two cells in the cellular network (). The first RNC () receives a measurement report from a user equipment (). The measurement report is related to a scrambling code that is comprised in the defined set of scrambling codes. The first RNC () determines that the reported scrambling code is comprised in the defined set of scrambling codes. The first RNC () initiates, based on the determination, a process for identifying, among the at least two cells in which the reported scrambling code is locally reused, an originating cell from which the reported scrambling code originates.
