Abstract
According to some embodiments of the invention, a method is provided in a radio network node for scheduling data transmission and/or reception. According to the method, the radio network node predicts (530) at least one autonomous gap occurrence in which user equipments served by the radio network node will use autonomously created gaps for acquiring system information from a neighboring base station and during which the UE is not able to receive data from, and/or transmit data to, the radio network node. Furthermore, the radio network node schedules (560) a user equipment for data transmission and/or reception in a time period which does not overlap with any predicted autonomous gap occurrence.
