1. An apparatus comprising:

  • at least one processor; and

    at least one memory including computer program code,the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following;

    obtain interference related detection results of interference caused at least between a plurality of relay nodes, wherein each relay node is capable of being wirelessly connected to a radio access network, is associated with an access node of the radio access network, and serves to connect at least one user equipment which is wirelessly connected via the at least one relay node to the radio access network, wherein a connection between the relay node and its serving access node is an access node—

    relay node connection, andgroup the relay nodes according to the obtained interference related detection results such that the access node—

    relay node connection can be configured for each group in order to mitigate interference between transmissions to user equipment and to different relay nodes in each group or from user equipment and from different relay nodes in each group.
