Abstract

The embodiments herein relate to a method in a base station for transmitting an UpLink Transmit Power Control, UL TPC, command to a user equipment in a communications network. The base station obtains a measurement of a distortion of a signal received from the user equipment. The signal is associated with a power to be controlled. The base station determines that the signal is unreliable if the distortion measurement is above a threshold or determining that the signal is reliable if the distortion measurement is below the threshold. The base station transmits a first UL TPC command to the user equipment when the signal is determined to be unreliable or transmits a second TPC command to the user equipment when the signal is determined to be reliable.
