A base station in a LTE system and a method for use in the base station (400) are provided for allocating power in downlink transmissions for a UE. A report is received, from the UE, comprising a Reference Signal Received Quality, RSRQ, indicating a current channel quality of a downlink transmission with multiple subcarriers. A fairness factor used for achieving fairness in scheduling between UEs served by the base station is retrieved, from a resource management scheduler of the base station; and a combined factor is determined based on the received RSRQ and the retrieved fairness factor, for resource blocks, RBs, related to the downlink transmissions, the RBs comprising subcarriers pertaining to resources to be allocated to the UE. Then, a power is determined for the resource RBs based on the determined combined factor; and the determined power for the downlink transmission for the UE is allocated. |
