NETWORK NODE, A WIRELESS DEVICE, A RESOURCE ALLOCATION SERVER AND METHODS FOR RESOURCE ALLOCATION

A network node includes memory circuitry, processor circuitry, and an interface. The network node is configured to transmit a first resource allocation request to a first resource allocation server and a second resource allocation request to a second resource allocation server. The network node is configured to receive a first resource allocation response from the first resource allocation server and a second resource allocation response from the second resource allocation server. The first resource allocation response is indicative of a first resource grant parameter. The second resource allocation response is indicative of a second resource grant parameter. The network node is configured to operate using a combined resource pool based on the first resource grant parameter and the second resource grant parameter.
