Abstract
The invention relates to a method in a second communication node within a communications network supporting a handover process of a first communication device from a first cell in the communications network to a second cell of the second communication node in the communications network. The second communication node determines (12) that a handover is to be performed of the first communication device from the first cell to the second cell. The second communication node then estimates (T4) an offered bit rate for the communication device within the second cell of the second communication node based on at least one parameter of the second cell. The offered bit rate is then transmitted (T6) in a message to the first communication device from the second communication node.
