The present solution relates to a method in a user equipment (310) for setting up an activation time of a cell change of the user equipment (310) from a serving cell (305) to a target cell (308) in a wireless communications network (300). The user equipment (310) receives (501) a timing offset from a network controller (315), calculates (502) a cell change activation time based on the timing offset and transmits (503) the calculated activation time to the network controller (315). Then, the user equipment (310) receives (504) an approval of the cell change from the network controller (315) and moves (505) from the serving cell (306) to the target cell (308) at the activation time if the approval has been received.
