Abstract: A network node and a method performed by the network node for congestion control in a Radio Base Station, RBS, are provided. The method comprises determining that the RBS is congested. The method further comprises determining an interference level in a neighboring RBS caused by wireless devices currently being served by the RBS, or determining a level of inter-cell coupling between the RBS and the neighboring RBS. Still further, method comprises increasing a value of an average received signal level target, P0, for wireless devices currently being served by the RBS if the RBS is congested, if the determined interference level in the neighboring RBS is below an interference threshold or if the level of inter-cell coupling is below a coupling threshold.

Abstract: A method and a network node (110) for obtaining a nominal power “P0” of transmissions on an uplink channel and a pathloss compensation factor “?” are disclosed. The cell (101) is associated to a non-regular scenario, at least partly defined by respective locations of further cells of the cellular network (100). The further cells are neighbors to the cell (101), which is located at a location within the cellular network (100). The network node (110) generates, for each further cell, a respective regular scenario in relation to the cell (101). The generation is at least based the respective location corresponding to said each further cell and the location of the cell (101). The network node (110) determines, also for each further cell, a respective P0 and a respective ? for each respective regular scenario.
