Abstract

A method performed by a radio node for increasing a throughput of a MIMO channel. The radio node operates in a wireless communication network. The beams are beamformed at a transmitter of the radio node. The beams comprise: A first beam comprising a first beam gain in a first direction, and at least one second beam wherein each at least one second beam comprises a respective second beam gain in a respective second direction. When decided that the signal strength on the first beam is a first threshold stronger than the signal strength on each respective at least one second beam, and the signal strength on the at least one second beam is above a second threshold, the radio node increasing the throughput of the MIMO channel by suppressing () the first beam with respect to its beam gain.
