Abstract
A network node and a method performed by the network node for scheduling transmissions between the network node and one or more wireless devices in the same physical layer resources are provided. The method comprises selecting a beam for a transmission between the network node and a first one of the wireless devices; and determining if a portion of physical layer resources remains available after allocating portions of physical layer resources to a first set of one or more wireless devices within transmission range of the selected beam. The method further comprises if at least a portion of physical layer resources remains available, adjusting the selected beam such that a second set of one or more additional wireless devices not within transmission range of the initially selected beam are within transmission range of the adjusted beam.
