==Original Abstract Submitted==

The present disclosure relates to a method a radio base station of determining a current characteristic of a surface, and a radio base station performing the method. In an aspect, a method a radio base station of determining a current characteristic of a surface is provided. The method comprises determining a value of at least one energy property of a signal received from a wireless communication device, which signal has reflected against the surface before arriving at the radio base station, and determining, based on one or more observed signal energy property values each being associated with a characteristic of the surface, the current characteristic of the surface for the determined value of the at least one energy property of the received signal.
