Abstract

A method, performed in a User Equipment (UE), is disclosed. The method is for facilitating the establishing of a UE processing configuration for the selective enhancement of radio signals received or transmitted by the UE. The method comprises receiving from a Transmission Point (TP) of a wireless network an indication that an identified reference signal is usable by the UE for establishing a UE processing configuration, and receiving the identified reference signal from a Transmission Point of the wireless network.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method, performed in a User Equipment (UE), for facilitating establishment of a UE beam configuration for selective enhancement of radio signals received or transmitted by the UE, the method comprising:
receiving identification of an allocation of resources for reference signals;
receiving a flag indicating whether the reference signals have a same beam configuration or have different beam configurations; and
sending a measurement report for the reference signals as received by the UE.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a Transmission Point
within a wireless network transmits the reference signals.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising establishing the UE beam configuration based on the received reference signals.

4. The method as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the UE beam configuration is a receive beamforming configuration.

5. The method as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the UE beam configuration is a transmit beamforming configuration.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the flag is received in a message containing the identification of the allocation of resources for the reference signals.

7. The method as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the message comprises one of a Measurement Grant Message and a Configuration Message.

8. A method, performed in a wireless network, for facilitating establishment of a beam configuration in a User Equipment (UE), the method comprising:
sending an identification of an allocation of resources for reference signals;
sending a flag indicating whether the reference signals have a same beam configuration or have different beam configurations; and
receiving a measurement report from the UE for the reference signals as received by the UE.
