Claim Text:
1. A method comprising: by a base station operating in a communication channel in a cellular network comprising the base station and a further base station adapted to use a further communication channel, wherein the communication channel is divided into subframes, wherein a first part of the subframes of the communication channel is associated in time with a first part of the subframes of the further communication channel, which is unscheduled by the further base station due to a predefined muting pattern, and wherein a second part of the subframes of the communication channel is associated in time with a second part of the subframes of the further communication channel, which is scheduled by the further base station, determining first quality information indicative of the quality of the first part of the subframes of the communication channel and second quality information indicative of the quality of the second part of the subframes of the communication channel; receiving, by the base station, feedback information from the user equipment being indicative for the quality of the communication channel; determining a first compensation value based on the first quality information and the feedback information, wherein the first compensation value is adapted for compensating a difference between the first quality information and the feedback information, and a second compensation value based on the second quality information and the feedback information, wherein the second compensation value is adapted for compensating a difference between the second quality information and the feedback information, adjusting the feedback information based at least in part on the determined first compensation value and the determined second compensation value, and configuring the communication channel based on the adjusted feedback information.
