Abstract
A computer implemented method performed by a node in a communications network for scheduling transmissions of a plurality of Internet of Things (IoT) devices to network resources in the communications network includes obtaining transmission patterns for the IoT devices. The method then includes clustering the IoT devices into clusters based on the obtained transmission patterns. The method then includes scheduling transmissions of IoT devices in different clusters to different network resources, thereby increasing synchronisation of the transmissions scheduled on each network resource and allowing for increased periods of inactivity of the network resources between transmissions.
