Abstract
A first communication device and a method in a node serving a first cell of a first frequency for controlling transmission power of a user equipment in the first cell, comprising receiving data relating to a second cell of the first frequency from the user equipment and determining to power regulate the user equipment. Determining to power regulate the user equipment is based on determining that the second cell is a cell to which a soft handover cannot be performed and determining that the user equipment is within a range of a cell border of the first cell. That being the case, the method further comprises transmitting a control message to the user equipment to control the transmission power of the user equipment.
