There is provided a method in a controlling node to efficiently assign spectrum to nodes representing wireless base stations which are using/sharing the same block of spectrum. The nodes are organized in a graph where connections between nodes represent potential of interference. The nodes are grouped based on the ability to handle mutual interference. The method comprises: determining recursively a plurality of clusters of nodes of increasing sizes; and assigning a bandwidth to nodes in each cluster, based on the size of the cluster. By so doing, the spectrum allocation can be optimized, allowing each node access to an increased amount of spectrum.
A method in a controlling node, the method comprising:
A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied in the medium, the computer readable program code comprising computer readable code to perform:
A non-transitory computer readable memory configured to store executable instructions for a controlling node, the executable instructions when executed by one or more processors cause the controlling node to perform:
A controlling node comprising a processing circuitry, the processing circuitry comprising memory and a processor connected thereto, the memory containing instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to:
