Abstract:
A technique for transmitting discovery-related signals from a transmission point to a UE is disclosed, wherein the transmission point (TP) is adapted to transmit at least two distinct discovery-related signals to be received by the UE. A method aspect (in the TP) comprises transmitting the first discovery-related signal by applying a first beamforming, and transmitting the second discovery-related signal by applying a second beamforming, wherein the steps of transmitting are performed simultaneously in a time domain and/or a space domain, and wherein the first and second beamforming are different. A further method aspect (in the UE) comprises detecting, in the received discovery-related signalling, at least one discovery-related signal in at least the first beam and/or the second beam from the transmission point based on a received distinction between discovery-related signals on the first beam or the second beam, wherein the first beam is different from the second beam.
