Abstract:
There is provided mechanisms for beam selection. A method is performed by a network node. The method comprises performing a beam management procedure for at least two terminal devices. During the beam management procedure reference signals are transmitted in a beam sweep as performed in a set of beams. During the beam management procedure, each of the at least two terminal devices reports at least two beams in the set of beams for which the reference signals have been received with highest power. The method comprises selecting which beams to serve the at least two terminal devices based jointly on the reports and a mutual interference criterion for the at least two terminal devices.
