Abstract:
A method by a first network node (101), for handling directions of transmission of beamformed beams by a first radio network node (111). Both nodes operate in a wireless communications network (100). The first network node (101) determines (503), out of a set of directions in which the first radio network node (111) is capable of transmitting the beams, a subset of directions of transmission of the beams having a probability of detection above a threshold, by a first wireless device (131). The determining (503) is based on data obtained from previous attempts of positioning one or more second wireless devices (132) using at least some of the directions. The first network node (101) also initiates (504) providing, to at least one of: the first radio network node (111) and a second network node (102) operating in the wireless communications network (100), an indication of the determined subset.
Abstract:
According to a first aspect, there is provided a method for delay alignment in a multi-point communication system. The method comprises determining (S10) of a respective reference value of round trip time for n +1 signalling paths in the multi-point communication system, where n >0. The determination (S10) is performed using n reference values of round trip time skews between a respective signalling path and a single reference signalling path of the n +1 signalling paths, and a reference value of a sum of round trip times over all of the n +1 signalling paths as exclusive input values. The respective reference values of round trip times are limited within a predetermined allowed interval for round trip times. The methods further comprises performing (S20) of a separate, preferably globally stable, control of data signalling in each single one of the n +1 signalling paths based on the respective reference values of round trip times.

Abstract:
A method for assisting in multipoint data flow control in a wireless communication system having a number, n+ 1, where n≥1, of wireless- transmission points. The method comprises obtaining (S 1), for each of the wireless-transmission points, a round trip time of a present sampling period for data travelling to a user equipment via a respective wireless-transmission point and an acknowledge message travelling back. A round trip time skew is computed (S2) for the present sampling period for individual wireless- transmission points. The round trip time skew is a difference between the obtained round trip time of a respective wireless-transmission point and a reference value. A reference round trip time value is provided (S4) for each wireless-transmission point in dependence of the round trip time skews. A rate control signal is generated (S5), for each of the wireless-transmission points, in dependence of a respective reference round trip time value. Corresponding arrangements are also disclosed.

Abstract:
A method for generating a probability map for a cell served by a network node is provided. The method includes generating a first probability map (P1) indicating a likelihood of primary beam directions (step 602). Generating the first probability map includes recording a first direction of a first user equipment (UE), the first direction indicating a direction of a first beam (e.g., a first set of antenna weights (a.k.a., precoding vector)) associated with the first UE when the first UE appears in the cell served by the network node. The method further includes generating a second probability map (P2) indicating a joint likelihood of primary and secondary beam directions (step 604). Generating the second probability map includes recording a second direction of a second beam associated with the first UE when the first UE switches from the first beam to the second beam, the second direction being recorded in association with the first direction. 28 3602-1538WO1 (P73007WO1)
