29. A method in a network node for sharing radio resources among a plurality of radio units included in a local radio environment, each radio unit serving a respective radio coverage area and said method comprising:
-
performing a planning procedure that includes, for a first one of the radio units having a respective first one of the radio coverage areas, determining a ranking of the other radio units representing preferences for sharing radio resources with the other radio units; and performing an allocation procedure in response to detection of a mobile station in the first radio coverage area, said allocation procedure including determining, based on said ranking of the other radio units, a shared radio resource to be allocated at the first radio unit for establishing a wireless communication with the mobile station, and wherein the shared radio resource is shared with one of the other radio units in the local radio environment. - View Dependent Claims (30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41)
