Abstract
A method () for use in a wireless communications system () in which there is at least a first node () which controls the traffic to and from user terminals () in a cell () within the system, so that there is downlink traffic in the system. The first node () transmits downlink traffic in radio frames, each of which comprises sub-frames. The first node () performs measurements on pre-defined system indicators in at least the first cell (), and based on the results of the measurements, the first node is allowed to autonomously decide () to vary the number of available down link sub-frames used for down link traffic in the down link radio frames and also to vary () the content of the down link sub frames which are used, the decision being valid () for a time which is specified by the first node ().
