Method and device for selecting one or more resources for use from among a set of resources

A method for selecting one or more resources for use from among a set of resources comprises obtaining (201) a first sub-set of the resources. The resources belonging to the first sub-set are the ones which have, according to occupancy information gathered over a long period of time, highest probabilities of matching requirements related to estimated usage time and/or needed capacity. The method further comprises selecting (202) a second sub-set from among the first sub-set of the resources on the basis of second occupancy information gathered over a short period of time. The resources belonging to the second sub-set are the ones from among the first sub-set which, according to the second information, have highest probabilities of matching requirements related to estimated usage time and/or needed capacity. The subsequent use of the long and short term occupancy information increases the probability of optimal selection. The resources can be, for example, radio channels from which one radio channel is to be selected.
