1. A computer implemented method for uplink power control in a mobile network, the method comprising:
obtaining signal to interference and noise ratio, SINR, of a first cell of the mobile network;
comparing the SINR to current uplink power parameter of the first cell, wherein the uplink power parameter is a parameter that is used for controlling uplink power in user equipment;
determining a new value for the uplink power parameter based on the comparison so that
if the SINR is higher than the current uplink power parameter, the current uplink power parameter is increased to obtain the new value for the uplink power parameter, and
if the SINR is lower than the current uplink power parameter, the current uplink power parameter is decreased to obtain the new value for the uplink power parameter; and
providing the determined new value of the uplink power parameter for use in uplink power control of the first cell.
