Claim:
1. A node in a wireless communication system including at least a first cell region and a second cell region, where cell borders delimit between different cell regions, the node comprising: a first antenna radiation lobe with at least a first antenna function and a second antenna radiation lobe with a second antenna function, the first antenna radiation lobe and the second antenna radiation lobe being arranged to cover the first cell region at the same time, where, for each cell region, only one of the antenna radiation lobes communicates at each cell border, wherein the first antenna radiation lobe is arranged for signals at a first frequency band, and the second antenna radiation lobe is arranged for signals at least a second frequency band, where, for each cell region, only one antenna radiation lobe communicates at each cell border for improving an interference situation at least along each cell border is obtained, wherein at least one of a direction, width and shape of the antenna radiation lobes is dynamically changeable for obtaining a favorable frequency spectrum for communication, and wherein the node is configured to dynamically change the antenna radiation lobes in the first and second cell regions in accordance with an amount of traffic in the first and second cell regions such that in response to the node determining that the first and second cell regions have a low amount of traffic, the node dynamically increases an amount that the antenna radiation lobes overlap with each other to increase a bandwidth and bitrate available to users in the first and second cell regions.
