The communication system uses the multi-antenna device, the multi-antenna device is located between the transmitter and the receiver and uses antennas and a relay unit forwarding signals from the transmitter to the receiver. The communication channel has a transmit channel, defined by a transmit channel matrix between the transmitter and the multi-antenna device, a receive channel defined by a receive channel matrix, between the multi-antenna device and the receiver and a self-interference channel between an output and an input side of the multi-antenna device. The self-interference channel is defined by a self-interference channel matrix wherein the method comprises the steps of: • quipping the multi-antenna device with at least three antennas and; • suppressing the self-interference channel by using at least one filtering matrix arrangement being inserted between the antennas and the relay unit. The invention also provides a node in a wireless communication system comprising the multi-antenna device for self-interference suppression in the multi-antenna device module that is part of a communication channel.

The radio network node comprises at least two antenna ports over which communication is performed using a respective power amplifier over each antenna port out of the at least two antenna ports. The radio network node determines a utilization factor of power of each power amplifier when a first user equipment is assigned to the radio resource. The radio network node further determines a utilization factor of power of each power amplifier when a second user equipment is assigned to the radio resource. The radio network node then schedules the first user equipment or the second user equipment to the radio resource based on the determined utilization factors.
