The present invention relates to an apparatus comprising at least one processor, and at least one memory for storing instructions to be executed by the processor, wherein the at least one memory and the instructions are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least: to obtain information on spectrum for shared usage of local area operation modes in a service area, the operation modes being a macro cell controlled Proximity-based operation mode and a small cell operation mode; to determine a timing reference for enabling a discovery process of the macro cell controlled proximity- based operation mode; to obtain information on shared usage of the spectrum; and to control, based on the timing reference and the obtained information on shared usage, the small cell operation mode. |
