Radio Access Network Node, Radio Node, And Methods Performed Therein

A method, performed by a radio node, for managing communication of one or more wireless devices within a wireless communication network;

• wherein the wireless communication network comprises a radio access network node serving the radio node;
• the method comprising the radio node:
• receiving an indication of radio resources out of a total spectrum of radio resources controlled by the radio access network node for communication over a first radio interface using a first radio access technology, wherein the indicated radio resources are allocated to the radio node from the radio access network node for communication over a second radio interface, the second radio interface using a second radio access technology different than the first radio access technology;
• and
• allocating at least part of the indicated radio resources for communication to and/or from the one or more wireless devices over the second radio interface.

A method, performed by radio access network node, for handling communication of one or more wireless devices within a wireless communication network, wherein the radio access network node is serving a radio node in the wireless communication network;

• the method comprising the radio access network node:
• allocating radio resources dedicated for the radio node, the allocated radio resources being out of a total spectrum of radio resources controlled by the radio access network node for communication over a first radio interface using a first radio access technology;
• wherein the radio resources are allocated to the radio node from the radio access network node for communication over a second radio interface, the second radio interface using a second radio access technology different than the first radio access technology;
• and
• transmitting, to the radio node, an indication of the allocated radio resources.

A radio node for managing communication of one or more wireless devices within a wireless communication network;

• wherein the wireless communication network comprises a radio access network node configured to serve the radio node;
• the radio node comprising:
• processing circuitry;
• memory containing instructions executable by the processing circuitry whereby the radio node is operative to:
