A method of uplink transmission scheduling for a network including at least one radio network controller (RNC), at least one user equipment (UE), and a plurality of Node Bs, with the steps of determining a parameter to be used in uplink transmission scheduling by considering uplink noise rise of the plurality of Node Bs, and performing the uplink transmission scheduling in accordance with the determined parameter. By determining the parameter upon considering the effects of the transmit power or transmit rate for a particular UE in soft handover with a scheduling Node B on the uplink noise rise of other neighboring Node Bs that are in soft handover but not scheduled with that particular UE, uplink transmission scheduling performance degradation can be prevented and more effective control of uplink noise rise at each Node B is possible.
