  • Publication number: 20220217556
    Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to a method performed by a network node (110) for handling signal quality variations for a UE (120). The network node (110) predicts a future signal quality variation indicative of a path of movement for a second UE (120b) being served by 5the network node (110). The predicting is based on historical data of previous signal quality variations for one or more first UEs (120a) having been served by the network node (110). The historical data of previous signal quality variations is indicative of a path of movement of the one or more first UEs (120a). The network node (110) determines to change a network configuration for the second UE (120b) based on the predicted signal10quality variation. The network node (110) initiates the change of the network configuration for the second UE (120b). Embodiments herein further relate to a method performed by a UE (120a, 120b) for handling signal quality variations for the UE (120a, 120b).
