1. A method, performed by a network node in a communications network, for configuring resources to be used for Wake-up Signal (WUS) transmission to a plurality of wireless device groups in the communications network, the method comprising:
obtaining a number of wireless device groups supported by the communications network;
allocating, based on the obtained number of wireless device groups supported by the communications network, one or more active resources, out of a set of available resources, for WUS for the number of wireless device groups;
determining, based on a set of resource configuration criteria, a WUS resource configuration defining a mapping of the wireless device groups to the determined one or more active resources, and
providing, to the wireless device, a set of resource configuration parameters indicative of the determined WUS resource configuration, and wherein the WUS resource configuration specifies whether a pattern, defining how to map the wireless device groups to the active resources, is varying over time.
