Abstract
A first wireless Access Point (AP) nodeand a method therein for controlling radio resource usage. The first wireless AP node is arranged to have a first Radio Frequency (RF) coverage areathat is at least partly overlapping with a second RF coverage areaof a second wireless AP node. The first and second wireless AP nodes are arranged to operate on the same RF channel. The method comprises configuring a first priority level of the first wireless AP node in relation to a second priority level of the second wireless AP node, which first and second priority levels are priority levels for accessing the RF channel. The method further comprises transmitting, to a wireless deviceassociated with the first wireless AP node, data via the RF channel in dependence of the first priority level. Thereby, the radio resource usage is controlled. According to some embodiments, the priority level is set based on negotiations between the first and second wireless AP nodes. According to other embodiments, the priority level is set based on communication between the first wireless AP node and a management node
