1. A method performed by a first node, the method being to achieve a set of goals in a geographical space, the first node operating in a wireless communications network, the method comprising:
determining, based on:
a first goal of the first node achieved in the geographical space according to a first set of capabilities of the first node, and a first set of first actions individually performed by the first node to achieve the first goal, and
for each second node of one or more second nodes within radio coverage of the first node:
a respective goal achieved in the geographical space according to a respective set of capabilities of each second node of the one or more second nodes, wherein the respective goal is determined by a respective operator of the second node independently of the first node, and
a respective set of first actions individually performed by each second node of the one or more second nodes to achieve the respective goal, wherein the respective goal, the respective set of capabilities, and the respective set of first actions are indicated by a respective first indication obtained from each respective second node of the one or more second nodes,
a plan to collaboratively achieve each of the respective goals of the one or more second nodes and the first goal of the first node in the geographical space, by determining a respective set of second actions respectively performed by each second node of the one or more second nodes and the first node, wherein the determining further comprises aggregating the first goal and the respective goals into the plan and decomposing the plan into the respective sets of second actions based on the respective capabilities of the first node and the one or more second nodes, and
sending, to each second node of the one or more second nodes, a respective second indication, the respective second indication indicating the determined respective set of second actions.
