Abstract
The invention relates to a method for dividing traffic between cells and a cellular radio system comprising at least a base station (300) of a particular cell (304), at least one subscriber terminal (322, 324) communicating with the base station (300), and cells (306) surrounding the particular cell (304), and subscriber terminals (332, 334) communicating therewith, the cellular radio system being arranged to measure the amount of traffic and interference in the system, and to calculate a weighting value for each cell based on the network measurements. In the method of the invention the base station (300) of the particular cell is arranged to adjust the size of its coverage area on the basis of the weighting value of the cell (304).
