Abstract

Method and arrangement (600) in a first network node (120-1), serving a first cell (130-1), for forming a coordination group for coordinating multipoint wireless communication. The method comprising determining (502) interference within the first cell (130-1). Also, the method comprises identifying (503) a second network node (120-2), which is either transmitting radio signals causing the interference, serving a user equipment (110-1), which transmits radio signals causing the interference, or being the intended recipient of radio signals causing the interference. Additionally, the method comprises transmitting (504) a token to the identified second network node (120-2), inviting it to coordinate the wireless communication. Furthermore, in addition, if acceptance is received, the method comprises forming (505) a coordination group together with the second network node (120-2), and coordinate the wireless communication.Further, a method and arrangement (800) in a second network node (120-2) is presented.
