    Abstract: A radio network element includes at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code. The at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the radio network element to: configure a quasi-co-location-type information entry included in a transmission configuration indication state (S604) for a downlink transmission beam between the radio network element and a user equipment based on at least one beam report, the at least one beam report including at least one transmission parameter for the downlink transmission beam, and the quasi-colocation-type information entry being indicative of one or more sources of inter-beam-interference on the downlink transmission beam at the user equipment; and transmit the transmission configuration indication state including the quasi-co-location-type information entry to the user equipment (S606).

    Abstract: A method comprises: configuring multiple reporting modes for multi-level based transmitter (TX) beam index reporting for a particular beam/antenna panel group from a plurality of beam/antenna groups, wherein the multiple reporting modes includes at least one of a full reporting mode configuration for the particular beam/antenna panel group, a full reporting mode configuration common for the plurality of beam/antenna panel groups, a differential reporting mode, and a partial reporting mode, selecting a reporting mode from the multiple reporting modes, and sending a report based on the selected reporting mode.

    Abstract: Devices, methods and computer program products for beam ranking for positioning purposes are disclosed. A network node device transmits to a client device a beam ranking indication comprising beam specific first reference data and beam ranking criteria for positioning for downlink transmission beams between the network node device and the client device. In response to a received downlink transmission beam selection indication indicating a downlink transmission beam selected by the client device based on the transmitted beam ranking indication, the network node device transmits second reference data to the client device with at least one downlink transmission beam according to the received downlink transmission beam selection indication.

    Abstract: There is provided a method comprising: determining that a random access procedure is to be applied in response to initiating a beam failure recovery, BFR, procedure; selecting a beam with which the random access procedure is to be attempted; determining whether or not the selected beam is allocated with a contention free preamble; and performing one of the following: 1) upon determining the positive, applying a contention free random access, CFRA, procedure based on a first limit for an access attempt counter; and 2) upon determining the negative, applying a contention based random access, CBRA, procedure based on a second limit for the access attempt counter, wherein the first and second limits are different.
