Abstract

A method and an arrangement (500) in a radio network node (130) for redistributing resources between at least a first and second communication device (110, 120) are provided. The radio network node (130) obtains a first estimate of a first signal quality for the first communication device (110) and a second estimate of a second signal quality for the second communication device (120). The radio network node (130) determines a first required signal quality for the first communication device (110) and a second required signal quality for the second communication device (120). When the first required signal quality is less than the first estimate and the second required signal quality is greater than the second estimate, the radio network node (130) allocates resources to the first and second communication devices (110, 120) such that the first signal quality decreases and such that the second signal quality increases.
