Claim Text:
1. A method in a base station for adapting neighbor cell measurements performed by mobile terminals served by a serving cell supported by the base station, the method comprising: monitoring a cell load for the serving cell; determining individual cell load contributions for each of a group of two or more mobile terminals served by the serving cell; selecting a first mobile terminal from the group of two or more mobile terminals, based on the individual cell load contributions; determining a first signal threshold for the serving cell to be used for triggering neighbor cell measurements by the selected first mobile terminal, or a second signal threshold for the serving cell to be used for triggering reporting of neighbor cell measurements by the selected first mobile terminal, or both, wherein said determined first signal threshold, or said determined second threshold, or both are based on the monitored cell load; and transmitting the determined first signal threshold or the determined second signal threshold, or both, to the selected first mobile terminal.
