A method performed by a user equipment, UE (104a-104d), the method comprising: receiving a first plurality of communication signals from a first subset of network nodes (108a-108e) in an ultra dense communication network when the UE (104a-104d) is located in a first service area of the ultra dense communication network, each communication signal of the first plurality of communication signals being associated with a respective one of a plurality of spatial domain layers in the ultra dense communication network; identifying first candidate spatial domain layer decoding parameters, from a set of spatial domain layer decoding parameters that are available at the UE (104a-104d), for layer-based decoding of the first plurality of communication signals; decoding the first plurality of communication signals using the first candidate spatial domain layer decoding parameters; receiving a second plurality of communication signals from a second subset of the network nodes (108a-108e) after the UE (104a-104d) is moved to a second service area, each communication signal of the second plurality of communication signals being associated with a respective one of the plurality of spatial domain layers, the second subset of network nodes (108a-108e) comprising at least one network node that is not in the first subset of network nodes (108a-108e); identifying second candidate spatial domain layer decoding parameters, from the set of spatial domain layer decoding parameters that are available at the UE (104a-104d), for layer-based decoding of the second plurality of communication signals; decoding the received second plurality of communication signals using the second candidate spatial domain layer decoding parameters, further comprising one of: transmitting to one of the network nodes (108a-108e) of the first subset of network nodes (108a-108e) an indication of which of the first candidate spatial domain layer decoding parameters were used to successfully decode the first plurality of communication signals; and transmitting to one of the network nodes (108a-108e) of the second subset of network nodes (108a-108e) an indication of which of the second candidate spatial domain layer decoding parameters were used to successfully decode the second plurality of communication signals. receiving a first plurality of communication signals from a first subset of network nodes (108a-108e) in an ultra dense communication network when the UE (104a-104d) is located in a first service area of the ultra dense communication network, each communication signal of the first plurality of communication signals being associated with a respective one of a plurality of spatial domain layers in the ultra dense communication network; identifying first candidate spatial domain layer decoding parameters, from a set of spatial domain layer decoding parameters that are available at the UE (104a-104d), for layer-based decoding of the first plurality of communication signals; decoding the first plurality of communication signals using the first candidate spatial domain layer decoding parameters; receiving a second plurality of communication signals from a second subset of the network nodes (108a-108e) after the UE (104a-104d) is moved to a second service area, each communication signal of the second plurality of communication signals being associated with a respective one of the plurality of spatial domain layers, the second subset of network nodes (108a-108e) comprising at least one network node that is not in the first subset of network nodes (108a-108e); identifying second candidate spatial domain layer decoding parameters, from the set of spatial domain layer decoding parameters that are available at the UE (104a-104d), for layer-based decoding of the second plurality of communication signals; decoding the received second plurality of communication signals using the second candidate spatial domain layer decoding parameters, further comprising one of: transmitting to one of the network nodes (108a-108e) of the first subset of network nodes (108a-108e) an indication of which of the first candidate spatial domain layer decoding parameters were used to successfully decode the first plurality of communication signals; and transmitting to one of the network nodes (108a-108e) of the second subset of network nodes (108a-108e) an indication of which of the second candidate spatial domain layer decoding parameters were used to successfully decode the second plurality of communication signals.
