A handover control method for network nodes of a cellular communication network is disclosed. According to the method, a network node receives one or more signals from each of one or more other network nodes, wherein the one or more signals are indicative of a result of uplink signal strength measurements performed by the other network node in relation to a wireless communication device and an available downlink transmission power value of the other network node. The network node then bases a handover decision on an estimated downlink received power of the wireless communication device in relation to the other network node, wherein the estimated downlink received power is based on the result of the uplink signal strength measurements and the available downlink transmission power. Receiving the one or more signals may comprise receiving an indication of the available downlink transmission power value and receiving the uplink signal strength measurements. Alternatively, receiving the one or more signals may comprise receiving the uplink signal strength measurements compensated (by the other network node) based on the available downlink transmission power value. Corresponding computer program products, arrangements and network nodes are also disclosed. |
