Abstract

Embodiments herein relate to a method performed by a first wireless network access point (12), for allocating uplink or downlink resources, to a mobile terminal (10) that is configured for dual connectivity wherein the mobile terminal (10) supports two or more contemporaneous links with two or more wireless network access points comprising the first wireless network access point (12) and a second wireless network access point (13). The first wireless network access point receives, from the second wireless network access point (13), resource allocation information for the mobile terminal (10) being in a dual connectivity mode. The first wireless network access point determines a resource allocation relating to the first wireless network access point (12) based on the received resource allocation information received from the second wireless network access point (13). The first wireless network access point sends, to the mobile terminal (10), a resource allocation message indicating the determined resource allocation relating to the first wireless network access point (12).
