1. A method, performed by one or more first nodes, for providing radio coverage in a wireless communication network for serving wireless communication devices, the method comprising:
obtaining first information relating to current locations of the wireless communication devices that are currently served by a first set of radio network nodes of the wireless communication network, which radio network nodes of the first set are located at first locations, respectively;
determining, based on the obtained first information, second locations of a second set of radio network nodes for continued serving of the wireless communication devices instead of by the first set at the first locations, the second locations differing at least partly from the first locations; and
initiating activation of the second set of radio network nodes at said second locations, to thereby provide radio coverage for the continued serving.
