Abstract
There is provided mechanisms for carrier frequency handling in a cluster based communications network. According to one aspect there is provided a method performed by a wireless device camping on or served by a cluster head device associated with a cluster head carrier frequency. According to one aspect there is provided a method performed by a cluster head device associated with a cluster head carrier frequency. A corresponding wireless device, a corresponding cluster head device, and corresponding computer programs and computer program products are also provided.

1-6. (canceled)
A method for carrier frequency handling in a cluster based communications network, the method comprising:
- a cluster head device associated with a cluster head carrier frequency performing:
- acquiring a difference between the cluster head carrier frequency and a network node carrier frequency associated with a network node;
- and
- determining, for a wireless device camping on or served by the cluster head device, a frequency adjustment action out of at least two possible frequency adjustment actions based on the magnitude of the frequency difference.
(canceled)
(canceled)
A cluster head device for carrier frequency handling in a cluster based communications network, the cluster head device being associated with a cluster head carrier frequency, the cluster head device comprising a processing unit arranged to:
- acquire a difference between the cluster head carrier frequency and a network node carrier frequency associated with a network node;
- and
- determine, for a wireless device camping on or served by the cluster head device, a frequency adjustment action out of at least two possible frequency adjustment actions based on the magnitude of the frequency difference.
(canceled)
A nontransitory computer readable storage medium comprising a computer program for carrier frequency handling in a cluster based communications network, the computer program comprising computer program code which, when run on a cluster head device associated with a cluster head carrier frequency, causes the cluster head device to:
- acquire a difference between the cluster head carrier frequency and a network node carrier frequency associated with a network node;
- and
- determine, for a wireless device camping on or served by the cluster head device, a frequency adjustment action out of at least two possible frequency adjustment actions based on the magnitude of the frequency difference.
