1. A method comprising:
measuring power of a first signal associated with a first cell of a frequency division multiple access (FDMA) system;
measuring power of a second signal associated with a second cell of the FDMA system, the second cell being adjacent to the first cell in terms of frequency; and
setting a value indicative of the measured power of the second signal to a negligible value when the measured power of the second signal is at least a predetermined margin value lower than the measured power of the first signal.
