Abstract
A first Control Node (CNd) and a method therein, for selecting a serving CNd for a User Node (UNd) by communication with at least a second CNd. The first CNd is configured to receive an uplink beacon measurement report comprising at least one measurement of an UNd uplink beacon, from at least one Access Node (ANd) controlled by the first CNd. The first CNd is further configured to preliminarily select a serving CNd for the UNd, based on the received uplink beacon measurement report concerning the UNd; confirm the preliminarily selected serving CNd by communication with the second CNd; and, select serving CNd for the UNd when the preliminarily selected serving CNd is confirmed by the second CNd.
