Patent ID: 10182384

Abstract:
The embodiments of the invention relate to a method for operating a mobile station (MS) in a radio communication system (RAN). The method contains receiving first radio resource information for a transmission of first reference signals via a first radiation beam (BM1-BS1) being directed towards a first direction by at least one neighboring base station (BS1) of a serving base station (BS2) of the mobile station (MS) and at least second radio resource information for a transmission of at least second reference signals via at least one second radiation beam (BM2-BS1, . . . BM5-BS1) being directed towards at least one second direction by the at least one neighboring base station (BS1). The method further contains receiving the first reference signals based on the first radio resource information, receiving the at least second reference signals based on the at least second radio resource information, determining first quality information of the first radiation beam (BM1-BS1) based on the received first reference signals and at least second quality information of the at least second radiation beam (BM2-BS1, . . . BM5-BS1) based on the received at least second reference signals, and transmitting at least one of the first quality information and the at least second quality information to the serving base station (BS2). The embodiments further relate to a method for operating a base station (BS2) in a radio communication system (RAN), to a mobile station (MS) for operation in a radio communication system (RAN) and to a base station (BS2) for operation in a radio communication system (RAN).
