A method for a first base station (BS1) and a base station are provided being adapted to receive uplink transmissions at transmission opportunities from a given user entity (UE). The method comprises the steps of detecting whether the following conditions I-III are all found to exist I—whether a transmission from a given user entity is received on a transmission opportunity (10, 20), II—whether an overload situation exists in the base station, III—whether the base station is in a state of soft handover with regard to receiving an expected transmission from the given user entity, and if conditions 1-111 are all found to exist, at least refraining (24) from issuing a power down (DOWN) signal, wherein the refraining (24) from issuing a power down signal (DOWN) is performed although the signal to interference (SIR) level may be above a predefined first level nor-mally giving rise to issuing a power down (DOWN) signal. |
