A method for scheduling enhanced uplink traffic in a cell in a cellular communication system comprises estimating (210) of a rise-over-thermal measure for the cell. A momentary total load in the cell is computed (220) based on the estimated rise-over-thermal measure. A load headroom is determined (230) from at least a maximum allowed load and the momentary load. Future enhanced uplink traffic is scheduled (250) in dependence of the determined load headroom. A degree of underutilization of enhanced uplink traffic grants in the cell is established (240). The scheduling(250) comprises overbooking of enhanced uplink traffic in dependence on the established underutilization degree.A network node comprises corresponding functionalities.
