Abstract

A method in a network node for handling a transmission between a plurality of Transmission Points, TPs, and User Equipments, UEs, in a wireless network. The network node receives information from each respective UE out of a number of first UEs served by the network node, which information is related to the location of the UE. The network node then identifies a hot spot, based on the information received from the UEs. The hot spot is an area where the load density of UEs is above a first threshold. When a hot spot is defined the network node selects a plurality of TPs dedicated to serve the UEslocated in the hot spot and establishes a coordinated transmission mode from the plurality of dedicated TPs to the UEs located in the hot spot.
