    Abstract: A user terminal ranks a base station depending upon a computed virtual estimate of a characteristic of a received communication signal. Overloaded base stations 2,3,4 in a cellular communications network are moved down in the active sets of mobile terminals 1 by applying an offset to the received pilot power estimates. An overloaded base station will transmit a high offset value to a terminal 1, causing it to be moved down in the active set, thereby discouraging the terminal from requesting access or handover to such base station. The user terminal comprises means for receiving a communication signal from at least one base station and for computing an estimate of a characteristic of the received communication signal, means for receiving a communication signal degradation value associated with said at least one base station, means for comparing the estimate with the degradation value and for computing a virtual estimate from the comparison and means for ranking said base station depending upon the value of the computed virtual estimate.

    Abstract: Overloaded base stations (2,3,4) in a cellular communications network are moved down in the active sets of mobile terminals (1) by applying an offset to the received pilot power estimates. An overloaded base station will transmit a high offset value to a terminal (1), causing it to be moved down in the active set, thereby discouraging the terminal from requesting access or handover to such base station. The invention has the advantage over known cell breathing techniques in that it does not reduce cell coverage.

    Abstract translation: 通过对所接收的导频功率估计施加偏移量,蜂窝通信网络中的过载基站(2,3,4)在有效移动终端集合(1)中向下移动。 过载基站将向终端(1)发送高偏移值,使其在有效集合中向下移动,由此阻止终端请求接入或切换到这样的基站。 本发明具有优于已知的细胞呼吸技术的优点,因为它不减少细胞覆盖。
