Technique for adapting an RF receiver configuration

A network system comprising:

• a radio network node having at least one Radio Frequency (RF) receiver for receiving signals according to a wireless communication standard, the radio network node comprising:
• a transmitter interface configured to transmit to a network node a report message comprising report information, wherein the report information pertains to a current RF receiver configuration with one or more current RF characteristics or possible RF receiver configurations with a range of one or more possible RF characteristics;
• a receiver interface configured to receive from the network node, and responsive to the report message, a control message comprising control information, wherein the control information pertains to a control of the current RF receiver configuration;
• and
• a configuration controller configured to interactively adapt the RF receiver configuration based on the control information received from the network node;
• and
• the network node configured to:
• receive the report message;
• and
• transmit, responsive to the report message, the control message.

A method of operating a radio network node having at least one Radio Frequency (RF) receiver for receiving signals according to a wireless communication standard, the method comprising:

• transmitting to a network node a report message comprising report information, wherein the report information pertains to a current RF receiver configuration with one or more current RF characteristics or possible RF configurations with a range of one or more possible RF characteristics;
• receiving, from the network node and responsive to the report message, a control message comprising control information, wherein the control information pertains to a control of the current RF receiver configuration;
• and
• interactively adapting the RF receiver configuration based on the control information received from the network node.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising a computer program comprising program code portions that, when executed by a processing circuit of a radio network node having at least one Radio Frequency (RF) receiver for receiving signals according to a wireless communication standard, configure the radio network node to:

• transmit to a network node a report message comprising report information, wherein the report information pertains to a current RF receiver configuration with one or more current RF characteristics or possible RF configurations with a range of one or more possible RF characteristics;
• receive, from the network node and responsive to the report message, a control message comprising control information, wherein the control information pertains to a control of the current RF receiver configuration;
• and
• interactively adapt the RF receiver configuration based on the control information received from the network node.
