Patent ID: 10536870

Abstract:
The disclosure provides a method (90) performed in a network node (2) for handling simultaneous measurement signaling and data communication with a communications device (3). The method (90) comprises transmitting (91) data to the communication device (3) using a transmission mode corresponding to the communication device (3) using a first number of reception elements (123, 125); establishing (92) a need for the communication device (3) to perform measurements and a capability of the communication device (3) for receiving measurement signaling using a second number of reception elements (123, 125) while receiving data using a reduced number of reception elements (123, 125); sending (93), to the communication device (3), a request to initialize the measurements, the request comprising a measurement configuration; and transmitting (94) the data using a transmission mode corresponding to the communication device (3) using the reduced number of reception elements (123, 125) for the data. A corresponding network node, method in a communications device, communications device, computer programs and computer program products are provided.
