Abstract

A radio network node () for downlink signal transmission to a user equipment () over an adaptively selected beam is presented. The radio network node () is configured to transmit, over different beams, different beam selection signals () that are respectively configured to prompt a response () from the user equipment () on different uplink radio resources (). The radio network node () is configured to receive, from the user equipment (), a response () over a responsive radio resource of the uplink radio resources (). The radio network node () is further configured to select, from the different beams, a beam over which was transmitted a beam selection signal configured to prompt a response () on the responsive uplink radio resource, and transmit a downlink signal to the user equipment () over the selected beam.
