A method and an access point for estimating a path loss value for a femto cell.

A second base station communicates with the mobile terminal by a second signal having a second pathloss.

A communication system having a first base station commmunicating with a mobile terminal by a first signal having a first pathloss.

A cell-specific power control parameter and a UE transmission power may be determined based on the determined path loss and/or distance measurement.

According to an aspect of the present disclosure, a serving base station determines a path loss and/or a distance measurement between the serving base station and a neighbor base station.
