Patent ID: 10117227

Abstract:
A method, performed by a wireless communication system (100), a method and node therein are provided for managing operation of multiple Radio Access Technologies, “RATS”. A first type of wireless devices (120) is enabled to communicate wirelessly in the wireless communication system (100) according to a first RAT, via one or more base stations (110). In the first RAT, resource blocks for uplink and/or downlink communication are allocated according to a predetermined multiple access structure based on frequency division and/or time division. The wireless communication system (100) excludes (701) for allocation to the first type of wireless devices (120) one or more of said resource blocks of the first RAT. The wireless communication system (100) further allocates (702) said excluded one or more resource blocks of the first RAT for use by a second type of wireless devices (121) and for wireless communication according to a second RAT, via said one or more base stations.
