Abstract
According to some embodiments of inventive concepts, a method for carrier selection may be provided in a telecommunications system, with the telecommunications system including at least two network nodes. The method may include determining channel interference of the at least two network nodes, and ranking the at least two network nodes based on the channel interference of the at least two network nodes. Related network nodes are also discussed.

A method in a network node for carrier selection in a telecommunications system, the telecommunications system comprising at least two network nodes, the method comprising:
- receiving estimated numbers of devices per candidate carrier from each of the at least two network nodes, wherein the estimated numbers of devices per candidate carrier are obtained from the at the least two network nodes respectively;
- and
- ranking the candidate carriers based on a consensus of the estimated numbers of devices per candidate carrier.
A node providing carrier selection in a telecommunications system, the telecommunications system comprising at least two network nodes, the node comprising:
- a network interface configured to provide communication with other nodes of the telecommunications system;
- and
- a processor coupled with the network interface, wherein the processor is configured to,
- receive estimated numbers of devices per candidate carrier from each of the at least two network nodes through the network interface, wherein the estimated numbers of devices per candidate carrier are obtained from the at least two network nodes respectively, and
- rank the candidate carriers based on a consensus of the estimated numbers of devices per candidate carrier.
