Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention relates to a method 10 performed in a user equipment 3, 4 of a communication system 1 for determining a beam-forming gain parameter, the communication system 1 comprising a base station 2 serving the user equipment 3, 4 . The method 10 comprises: receiving 1 a cell-specific reference signal and a dedicated reference signal from the base station 2 ; measuring 12 a received power, P RSRP , of the cell-specific reference signal and a received power, P DRSRP , of the dedicated reference signal; and determining 13 a beam-forming gain parameter, G BF , based on the measured received power, P RSRP , of the cell-specific reference signal and on the measured received power, P DRSRP , of the dedicated reference signal. The invention also relates to user equipment, methods in base station, base station, computer programs and computer program products.
