The invention relates to a method and apparatus for setting pilot signal transit powers in a CDMA system. Subscriber units ( 211,213,215 ) perform pilot signal measurement measurements and transmits these to a receiver ( 603 ). A processor ( 605 ) determines a ranking factor for each cell ( 217, 219,221 ) at least partly dependent on the pilot signal measurement and a cell overlap condition of the subscriber unit ( 211, 213, 215 ) during measurements. The processor ( 605 ) ranks the cells ( 217,219,221 ) according to the ranking factor, and sets the pilot signal transmit power of at least one cell in response to the ranking of the cells by adjusting a power amplifier ( 609 ). The cell overlap condition is determined as the handover state of the subscriber unit ( 211,213,215 ) or as the number of cells, which can be received by the subscriber unit ( 211,213,215 ) during the measurement The invention is applicable to 3rd generation cellular communication systems.
