Abstract

The embodiments herein relate to a method performed by a network node, for scheduling of a UE in UL. The network node is configured to schedule the UE using Frequency Selective Scheduling or resource fair scheduling. The network node estimates a PRBs for individual UEs, which are scheduled in the same cell and TTI. The network node determines whether the estimated number of PRBs fulfil one or more predetermined conditions. The network node determines to schedule the UEs using FSS when at least one of the one or more conditions are fulfilled, and determining to schedule the UEs using resource fair scheduling when none of the one or more predetermined conditions are fulfilled.
