Abstract

A method for beam assignment support comprises obtaining of, in a radio base station, a set of channel gain estimations representing potential transmissions in a set of beams to a user equipment. A set of bias values is obtained, representing connection quality predictions for a respective beam of the set of beams for transmission to the user equipment. The connection quality predictions are estimations calculated from measures of previous traffic load, previous radio quality of transmissions, and/or previous beam assignments of the first transmission reception point. A set of biased channel gain estimations is determined by weighting the channel gain estimations in dependence of respective bias values. A beam assignment based on the biased channel gain estimations is initiated. A method also for determining bias values in a network node as well as radio base stations.
