Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for coordinating muting in a system including radio service areas of a first type and of a second type are disclosed. In a method a node providing a radio service area of the first type detects a first radio service area of the second type and determines information suitable for determining the location of the node. Said information for identifying the first radio service area and said information suitable for determining the location of the node are communicated to a controls apparatus. Upon receipt of said information for identifying and information suitable for determining the location of the node the control apparatus can coordinate muting based on the received information.
