Abstract: A method performed by a radio unit for handling a number of received radio signals over an array of antennas comprised in the radio unit. The radio unit transforms the number of received radio signals into a number of sequences of complex symbols.

The radio unit further transmits the reduced number of sequences to a baseband unit over a front-haul link.
