Abstract
There is disclosed a method of operating a receiving radio node in a radio access network. The method includes selecting, from a set of defined reception beams formed by reception beamforming, one or more beams for processing, wherein selecting is based on a beam quality representation determined for one or more beams of the set for one or more transmitters.
Claims13
A method of operating a receiving radio node in a radio access network, the method comprising:
- selecting, from a set of defined reception beams formed by reception beamforming, at least one beam for processing, the selecting being based on:
- a beam quality measurement, BQM, representation determined for at least one beam of the set of defined reception beams for at least one transmitter of the receiving radio node;
- and
- a combined beam quality measurement, CBQM, representation determined for at least a subset of the set of defined reception beams, the subset being associated with at least one transmission stream, the CBQM being determined based on a quality of service parameter associated with the at least one transmission stream.
A receiving radio node for a radio access network, the receiving radio node being configured to:
- select, from a set of defined reception beams formed by reception beamforming, at least one beam for processing, the selecting being based on:
- a beam quality measurement, BQM, representation determined for at least one beam of the set of defined reception beams for at least one transmitter of the receiving radio node;
- and
- a combined beam quality measurement, CBQM, representation determined for at least a subset of the set of defined reception beams, the subset being associated with at least one transmission stream, the CBQM being determined based on a quality of service parameter associated with the at least one transmission stream.
A computer storage medium storing an executable computer program having instructions that, when executed, cause processing circuitry to at least of control and perform a method of operating a receiving radio node in a radio access network, the method comprising:
- selecting, from a set of defined reception beams formed by reception beamforming, at least one beam for processing, the selecting being based on:
- a beam quality measurement, BQM, representation determined for at least one beam of the set of defined reception beams for at least one transmitter of the receiving radio node;
- and
- a combined beam quality measurement, CBQM, representation determined for at least a subset of the set of defined reception beams, the subset being associated with at least one transmission stream, the CBQM being determined based on a quality of service parameter associated with the at least one transmission stream.
