Abstract
This disclosure presents a method (600) of skipped channel buffering performed by a wireless device configured to receive downlink, DL, transmissions in multiple beams from a network node. The method (600) comprises monitoring (610) a beam scheduling of the network node and, based on the monitoring (610), determining (620) a probability that a current DL channel transmission is scheduled in a default beam. Responsive to the probability that the current DL channel transmission is scheduled in the default beam is at or below a scheduling threshold, skipping (630) buffering of DL channel transmissions in the default beam. A wireless device, a computer program product and a carrier are also disclosed.

A method of skipped channel buffering performed by a wireless device configured to receive downlink, DL, transmissions in multiple beams (b1, . . . , bn) from a network node, the method comprising:
- monitoring a beam scheduling of the network node,
- determining, based on the monitoring, a probability that a current DL channel transmission is scheduled in a default beam (bd), and
- responsive to the probability that the current DL channel transmission is scheduled in the default beam (bd) is at or below a scheduling threshold (T), skipping buffering of a DL channel transmission in the default beam (bd).
