Abstract

A radio network node, a wireless device and methods performed therein for handling communication in a wireless communication network are provided. The method performed by the wireless device comprises obtaining an indication indicating which beams to be included in a cell quality derivation of a cell; and performing one or more measurements on one or more beams, which one or more beams are selected based on the obtained indication. Furthermore, a computer program product and a computer readable storage medium are also provided herein.

Claims (19)

1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium on which is stored instructions that, when executed by a processor of a wireless device in a wireless communication network, cause the wireless device to:

obtain an indication indicating which beams are to be included in a cell quality derivation of a cell; and

perform one or more measurements on one or more beams, which one or more beams are selected based on the obtained indication.

2. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor of the wireless device, cause the wireless device to obtain the indication by receiving a list informing the wireless device about which beams are supposed to be excluded from the cell quality derivation.

3. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 1 , wherein the indication is included in a measurement configuration received from a radio network node.

4. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor of the wireless device, further cause the wireless device to transmit one or more measurement reports, which one or more measurement reports comprises a respective value of the one or more measurements performed.

5. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor of the wireless device, cause the wireless device to obtain the indication further by obtaining a parameter indicating whether a beam in a list is allowed to be included in a measurement report or not.

6. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor of the wireless device, further cause the wireless device to perform a cell quality derivation of the cell taking the received indication into account.

7. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 1 , wherein cell quality derivation of the cell comprises derivation of a reference signal received power (RSRP) of the cell or comprises derivation of a reference signal received quality (RSRQ) of the cell.

8. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 1 , wherein the indication indicates which beams are to be included in the cell quality derivation of the cell by indicating on which beams the wireless device is to perform measurements from which cell quality of the cell is to be derived.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more beams correspond to one or more synchronization signal (SS) blocks.

10. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium on which is stored instructions that, when executed by a processor of a radio network node in a wireless communication network, cause the radio network node to:

transmit an indication to a wireless device, wherein the indication indicates which beams are to be included in a cell quality derivation of a cell at the wireless device.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 10 , wherein the indication is a list informing the wireless device about which beams are supposed to be excluded from the cell quality derivation.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 10 , wherein the indication is included in a measurement configuration.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 10 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor of the radio network node, further cause the radio network node to determine the beams to be included or excluded in the cell quality derivation at the wireless device.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 10 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor of the radio network node, cause the radio network node to transmit the indication further by transmitting a parameter indicating whether a beam in a list is allowed to be included in a measurement report or not.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 10 , wherein the indication indicates which beams are to be included in the cell quality derivation of the cell by indicating on which beams the wireless device is to perform measurements from which cell quality of the cell is to be derived.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 10 , wherein the beams correspond to synchronization signal (SS) blocks.
