The present disclosure relates to a method and a network node 100 in a wireless communications network 1. In particular, it relates to selecting a frequency band for operation for user equipment 9 in the wireless communications network 1. The frequency band to be selected is either a licensed frequency band or an unlicensed frequency band. The network node 100 is a macro base station 5, or a home base station (7, 700), and is adapted to communicate with user equipments 9 in the wireless communications network 1 which comprises both the macro base station 5 and the home base station (7, 700). The home base station (7, 700) is adapted to support operation in both the licensed frequency band and the unlicensed frequency band. The method comprises obtaining radio condition measurements performed on the licensed frequency band and/or on the unlicensed frequency band; selecting the frequency band, based on the obtained radio condition measurements; and updating the home base station of the selected frequency band to be used for communication with one or more of the user equipments.
