Abstract

A method in a node of cellular telecommunication network comprising receiving downlink quality measurements of a primary carrier frequency and at least one secondary carrier frequency and combining the received downlink quality measurements of the primary carrier frequency and secondary carrier frequency. The downlink quality measures are combined by determining a combined downlink quality measure for the downlink quality measurements of the primary carrier frequency and the at least one secondary carrier frequency and determining a difference in logarithmic scale between the downlink quality measurements of the primary carrier frequency and the combined downlink quality measure for the downlink quality measurements of the primary carrier frequency and the at least one secondary carrier frequency to be used as the combined quality measure. The method also includes evaluating whether the combined quality measure fulfills a predetermined condition and triggering an event only if the combined quality measure fulfills the predetermined condition.
