There is provided a method in a first network node (e.g. CBSD) for negotiating AAS antenna pattern and for radio planning. The method comprises: determining () one or more cell shaping parameters; sending () the determined cell shaping parameters to a second network node (e.g. SAS or CxM); receiving () an allocation of resources based on the determined cell shaping parameters. Another method is disclosed as well and may comprise: receiving () an envelope of radio frequency power for maximizing a coverage area, from a second network node (e.g. SAS); determining () a beam pattern based on the received envelope; sending () the determined beam pattern to the second node.

Embodiments include methods for channel reconfiguration by a network node in a communications network. Such methods include obtaining received signal strength indicator (RSSI) measurements from wireless devices served by the network node at a current channel in a current frequency interval within a current frequency band. the RSSI measurements trigger perform channel reconfiguration to select a new channel for serving the wireless device. the new channel is the current frequency interval in the current frequency band, a new frequency interval in the current frequency band, or a new frequency interval in a new frequency band. The new channel is selected based on RSSI measurements are performed by the network node on one or more of the following: the current channel in the current frequency interval, a different channel in the current frequency interval, or a different channel in the new frequency interval.

Channel reconfiguration in a communications network

Mechanisms are provided for channel reconfiguration in a communications network where shared spectrum from a primary incumbent is used. A method is performed by a network node, which comprises obtaining RSSI measurements on the current channel from wireless devices. The wireless devices are served by the network node at a current channel in a current frequency interval within a frequency band. When the RSSI measurements trigger a need for the network node to perform channel reconfiguration, the network node selects a new channel based on RSSI measurements that it itself performs. The method comprises selecting a new channel in a new or the same frequency interval, in a new or the same frequency band, for serving the wireless devices based on RSSI measurements performed by the network node, and channel reconfiguration for the wireless devices is performed.
