Abstract:
A method for acquiring an indication of a preferred beam of a wireless communication device is disclosed. The method is performed in a network node of a cellular communication network. The network node is adapted to support a plurality of beams of a signal beamforming scheme and to communicate with the wireless communication device using at least one beam of the plurality of beams. The method comprises acquiring a beam power setting of the plurality of beams. The beam power setting comprises a power offset being applied to at least one beam of the plurality of beams, the power offset being relative to a nominal power setting of the plurality of beams. The method also comprises transmitting (to the wireless communication device) a message indicative of the beam power setting, transmitting measurement signals, and receiving (from the wireless communication device) a report indicative of the preferred beam, wherein the preferred beam is determined by the wireless communication device based on the measurement signals and the beam power setting.

Claim (Index 44):
A non-transitory computer readable recording medium storing a computer program product for determining a preferred beam by a wireless communication device adapted to communicate with a network node of a cellular communication network, wherein the network node is configured to support a plurality of beams of a signal beam-forming scheme and to communicate with the wireless communication device using at least one beam of the plurality of beams, the computer program product comprising software instructions which, when run on processing circuitry of the wireless communication device, causes the wireless communication device to:\n receive, from the network node, a message indicative of a beam power setting of the plurality of beams, wherein the beam power setting comprises a power offset being applied to at least one beam of the plurality of beams, the power offset being relative to a nominal power setting of the plurality of beams; perform measurements on measurement signals transmitted by the network node; determine the preferred beam based on the measurements and the beam power setting; and transmit, to the network node, a report indicative of the preferred beam.
