Abstract: Support of mobility for a communication device (120) being served in a serving beam (115a) transmitted by a first network node (110) comprised in a wireless communication network (100). The first network node (110) and the communication device (120) obtains (301a, 302; 701, 901) a first information set comprising predetermined identifiers identifying reference signals, respectively. The first network node (110) maintains (310; 904) a third information set that associates one or more candidate beams (115b, 116a-c), other than the serving beam (115a), with one or more predetermined identifiers of the first information set, which one or more predetermined identifiers identify reference signals that are being transmitted in said one or more candidate beams (115, 116a-c).

Abstract: A method for configuring transmission order of uplink data, performed by an REC of an access node. The REC has an interface to an RE of the access node. The method comprises providing instructions to the RE how to prioritize transmission order of uplink data. The uplink data is received by the RE on a radio interface and is to be transmitted from the RE to the REC on the interface. The REC thereby configures the transmission order.

Abstract: A method for configuring resolution of uplink data, performed by an REC of an access node. The REC has an REC-RE interface to an RE of the access node. The method comprises providing instructions to the RE regarding with which resolution in time and/or frequency domain the uplink data is to be transmitted to the REC on the REC-RE interface. The uplink data is received by the RE on a radio interface and is to be transmitted from the RE to the REC. The REC thereby configures the resolution of the uplink data.

Abstract: A first access node obtains (601) an identity of a plurality of MRSs associated with the first access node, determines (602) an identity of a second mobility beam associated with a second access node, which second mobility beam is a neighbour mobility beam to a first mobility beam associated with the first access node, wherein the identity of the second mobility beam is determined based on a neighbour relation between the second mobility beam and the first mobility beam, and controls the transmission of MRSs by transmitting (605), to the second access node, a request to transmit a reference signal for mobility comprised in the plurality of MRSs, on the second mobility beam, and wherein the request comprises: a respective identity of one or more MRSs comprised in the plurality of MRSs, which respective identity is based on the identity of the plurality of MRSs, and the identity of the second mobility beam.

Abstract: Network nodes (102, 104), control node (100) and methods therein, for enabling establishment of a neighbor relation between a first network node (102) and a second network node (104) in a wireless network. The control node (100) sends (1:1) or distributes, to network nodes in the network including the first network node (702), a set of reference signals reserved for neighbor relation establishment. The second network node (104) transmits (1:3) one of the reserved reference signals which is then detected by a wireless device (D1) being served by the first network node (102) which then receives (1:4), from the wireless device (D1), a measurement report indicating the detected reference signal that is recognized by the first network node (102) as belonging to the set of reserved reference signals.

Abstract: According to an aspect, a wireless device receives, from a first node, a blacklist with random access response identifiers. The wireless device transmits a random access preamble to initiate random access to another node and receives a random access response. The wireless device compares a random access response identifier included in the received random access response to the random access response identifiers in the blacklist and establishes a connection to a second node that corresponds to the received random access response, responsive to determining that the random access response identifier in the received random access response is not included in the blacklist. The wireless device sends, to the second node, an identifier for the first node or an identifier for a beam transmitted by the first node, or both.
