Base station, and method for sector selection

A base station for handling sector selection, which base station is adapted to serve a number of sectors comprised in a combined cell, wherein a first sector from among the number of sectors is, at a first time, the sector with the best communication resource for a wireless terminal in the combined cell (120), the base station comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory containing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the base station to:
• determine that the first sector is no longer the sector with the best communication resource for the wireless terminal within the combined cell, when a quality of the communication resources in the first sector is below a first threshold,
• send an order to the wireless terminal to initiate a random access procedure in the combined cell, when it is determined that that the first sector is no longer the sector with the best communication resources, and
• select a second sector in the combined cell based on measurements of signal strength of random access preambles received from the wireless terminal in each respective sector in the combined cell, which random access preambles are received from the wireless terminal in the initiated random access procedure, and which second sector is selected for the wireless terminal to communicate in.
