Publication number: 20210352622Abstract: A method performed by a network node for broadcasting beamformed signals of a data transmission to a User Equipment (UE). For each specific data transmission from a number of data transmissions the network node allocates a set of Reference Signals, RS, for the data transmission, the number of RSs in the set of RSs being based on a measure of popularity for UEs receiving the specific data transmission. The network node sends an indication of the allocated set of SRs for each specific data transmission. The network node receives from a UE requesting a particular data transmission out of the number of data transmissions an RS from the set of RS allocated for the particular data transmission. The network node broadcasts beamformed signals of the particular data transmission. The signals are beamformed based on estimated composite channels from all UEs that transmit any RS included in the set of RS allocated for the particular data transmission.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 13, 2018Publication date: November 11, 2021Inventors: Pål FRENGER, Erik G.
