A method of controlling layer one, L1, execution for a communication node associated with two or more L1 execution instances is disclosed. The communication node is configured to communicate with one or more communication devices and to operate according to a communication scheme defining radio resource units representing indivisible communication units of a radio access interface of the communication node. The method includes allocating respective L1 execution of at least two non-overlapping parts of a single radio resource unit to different ones of the two or more L1 execution instances. The method also includes sending a respective control signal to the different ones of the two or more L1 execution instances, wherein each respective control signal is indicative of the corresponding part of the single radio resource unit. Corresponding apparatus, arrangement, communication node and computer program product are also disclosed.

Layer one execution control

There is provided mechanisms for locating wireless devices. A method is performed by a network operator node of cells. The method comprises obtaining an indication to locate wireless devices in a geographical area from a surveillance center node (s). The method comprises initiating a change of logical group area identity of those of its cells that at least partly overlap with the geographical area (s), thereby initiating location reporting from those wireless devices located in the geographical area that are in idle mode. The method comprises, in response thereto, receiving location indicating information from the wireless devices in the geographical area (s).
