A network node and a method performed thereby for communicating with a wireless device are provided. The network node is operable in a first communication network, and provides a PCell in a licensed frequency band and a SCell in an unlicensed frequency band. The method comprises determining that a channel quality for the SCell does not meet a predetermined threshold; and when the channel quality for the SCell not meeting the predetermined threshold is due to interference from devices and/or nodes not belonging to the first communication network, triggering a channel switch of the SCell.

Network node and method for communicating with a wireless device using channel quality of SCell

A network node and a method performed by the network node for performing a transmission to one or more wireless devices are provided. The network node is operable in a first communication network, supports carrier aggregation, and provides a PCell in a licensed frequency band and a SCell in an unlicensed frequency band. The method comprises determining to employ splinted Link Adaptation (LA) for a downlink transmission on the SCell; and employing a first Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) on one or more first subframes of a transmission burst to be transmitted to the one or more wireless device and at least a second MCS on one or more subsequent subframes of the transmission burst to be transmitted to the wireless device.
