1. A method comprising:
receiving, at a resource control node, information including location information for at least one cell of a primary resource group and another cell of another primary resource group, wherein the received information further includes a primary resource being used by the at least one cell and another primary resource being used by the other cell; and determining, by the resource control node, at least one secondary resource group including the at least one cell and the other cell, wherein the at least one secondary group is determined based on the received information and a determination of an overlapping coverage area between the at least one cell and the other cell, wherein the at least one cell and the other cell are enabled to share, as part of the determined at least one secondary resource group, the primary resource.
