A method of controlling a wireless feeder network (35, 95, 50, 75) used to couple access base stations (55, 80) of an access network (55, 80, 90, 60, 85) with a communications network, the wireless feeder network comprising: a plurality of feeder base stations coupled to the communications network; and a plurality of feeder terminals (50, 75) coupled to said access base stations, each feeder terminal having a feeder link for connecting with a feeder base station, and the feeder links being established over a wireless resource comprising a plurality of resource blocks, the access network comprising: said access base stations connected to network users (60, 85); the method comprising the steps, carried out in a feeder network controller, of: allocating resource blocks for use by said plurality of feeder base stations and said plurality of feeder terminals to establish said feeder links, wherein an allocation is determined of said resource blocks between a centrally determined schedule in which each resource block of a first set of resource blocks is associated with a predetermined feeder link and at least one feeder base station determined schedule in which a second set of resource blocks is associated with a predetermined feeder base station, said predetermined feeder base station being configured to implement said feeder base station determined schedule dynamically by using said second set of resource blocks in dependence on current traffic requirements of said predetermined feeder base station; monitoring network traffic being carried by said feeder links to determine at least one characteristic of said network traffic; and adapting said allocation of said resource blocks to said first set of resource blocks for said centrally determined schedule and to said second set of resource blocks for said at least one feeder base station determined schedule in dependence on said at least one characteristic of said network traffic. a plurality of feeder base stations coupled to the communications network;
