Beamformed reception of downlink reference signals

Abstract:

There is provided mechanisms for beamformed reception of downlink reference signals. A method is performed by a terminal device. The method comprises obtaining direction-wise measurements of interference experienced by the terminal device. The method comprises generating, based on the direction-wise measurements of interference, a beam having a beam gain that is lower in those directions where a first interference level is experienced than in those directions where a second interference level is experienced, where the first interference level is higher than the second interference level. The method comprises receiving, using the generated beam, downlink reference signals from a network node.
