There is disclosed a method performed by a wireless communication device to enable the reception of a beam sweep transmission. The method comprises obtaining information enabling said wireless communication device to determine whether it is stationary, or essentially stationary. The method also comprises acquiring configuration information comprising information about the starting time for the beam sweep transmission. The method also comprises determining a time when to initiate a reception of the beam sweep transmission based at least partially on the obtained information and the acquired configuration information, thereby allowing said wireless communication device to enter, or remain in, a first activity state until the determined time. The method also comprises entering, at the determined time, a second activity state whereby said wireless communication device is capable to receive the beam sweep. There is also disclosed a complementary method performed by a radio network node as well as corresponding devices and computer programs.
A method performed by a wireless communication device to enable the reception of a beam sweep transmission, wherein the method comprises:
A method performed by a radio network node for enabling a wireless communication device to receive information transmitted from the radio network node in a beam sweep transmission, wherein the wireless device is in at least one of an idle state, a dormant state, an energy saving state and a non-receiving state, wherein the method comprises the steps of:
A wireless communication device configured to receive information transmitted during a beam sweep transmission, wherein:
A radio network node configured to transmit configuration information enabling a wireless communication device to receive information transmitted from the radio network node in a beam sweep transmission, wherein the wireless device is in at least one of an idle state, a dormant state, an energy saving state and a non-receiving state, and wherein:
