Abstract:
There is provided a method in a network element of a radio communication network, the method comprising: grouping, by the network element, a plurality of discovery patterns into at least two groups, wherein each discovery pattern comprises one or more discovery slots on radio resources for detecting discovery signals by a network node; associating at least one of the groups with a first spatial parameter and at least one other group with a second spatial parameter; and transmitting configuration information enabling a network node to utilize a discovery pattern belonging to a group associated with a spatial parameter that corresponds to spatial information of the network node.
