A method is performed by a network node. The method comprises obtaining information that the symbol at index 1 in the subframe allocatable for LTE control information is to be allocated to the NR control information. The method comprises, in response thereto, configuring resource elements for LTE transmission and resource elements for NR transmission within the subframe. The resource elements for LTE transmission in the symbol at index 1 in the subframe are to be muted. The NR control information is allocated to resource elements of the symbol at index 1 in the subframe. The method comprises initiating transmission of the subframe.

Abstract: A method performed by a network node, for handling handover of a user equipment (UE), wherein the network node serves a first cell comprising one or more UEs. When the network node has detected that a Signaling Radio Bearer (SRB) is determined to be scheduled for a UE in handover from the first cell to a second cell, the network node increases the number of OFDM-symbols included in a control region of a downlink OFDM-subframe sent in the first cell in a Transmission Time Interval (TTI) related to the handover. By increasing the number of OFDM-symbols of the control region only during the handover, the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) is spread in time into symbols not polluted by CRS symbols from neighboring cells. Thereby the number of unsuccessful handovers and lost service is effectively reduced.
