<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for allowing a terminal to select a base station in a wireless communication network. <P>SOLUTION: A virtual noise figure is an indication of a virtual noise level at a receiver, which may be higher than an actual noise level at the receiver. In an aspect, a virtual noise figure may be used for selecting a serving base station. A terminal may receive information indicative of a virtual noise figure for each of at least one base station. The terminal may select a serving base station on the basis of the virtual noise figure for each base station. The terminal may send data to the serving base station at a rate selected on the basis of an actual noise figure for the serving base station. In other aspects, a virtual noise figure may be used for interference management and/or power control. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
