  • Publication number: 20240323699
    Abstract: A method and network node for radio resource arbitration for spectrum sharing are disclosed. According to one aspect, the method includes determining a demand for resources for a first RAT and for a second RAT and performing one of assuming a preferred resource split ratio of 1 to n between the first RAT and the second RAT when both RATs have enough demand, n being an integer greater than 1, and determining a subframe pattern of 1:1:1:2n?1. The method also includes assuming a preferred resource split ratio of n to 1 between the first RAT and the second RAT when both RATs have enough demand, then determining a subframe pattern of n: 1.
