Method and Network Node in a Communications System

A method in a network node for selecting a frequency band to be used for communicating with user equipments in a wireless communication network, the network node being a macro base station or a home base station in the wireless communication network and the frequency band being either a licensed frequency band or an unlicensed frequency band, said method comprising:

• obtaining radio condition measurements performed on at least one of the licensed frequency band and the unlicensed frequency band;
• selecting the frequency band, based on the obtained radio condition measurements;
• and
• updating the home base station with the selected frequency band to be used for communication with one or more of the user equipments.

A network node configured to select a frequency band to be used for communicating with one or more user equipments in a wireless communication network that includes a macro base station and a home base station, wherein the frequency band is selected as one of a licensed frequency band or an unlicensed frequency band, and wherein the network node comprises:

• a transceiver circuit adapted to obtain radio condition measurements performed on at least one of the licensed frequency band and the unlicensed frequency band;
• a selector circuit adapted to select the frequency band based on the obtained radio condition measurements;
• and
• a processor circuit adapted to update the home base station with the selected frequency band to be used for communication with one or more of the user equipments.
