Abstract

A method performed in a network node of a communication system for muting antenna elements of an active antenna system. The method comprises determining, based on a priori information relating to performance of the communication system, an antenna element separation between one or more pairs of active antenna elements of at least a subset of all active antenna elements of the active antenna system; and muting at least one antenna element such that the determined antenna element separation is obtained between each of the one or more pairs of active antenna elements of at least the subset of all active antenna elements.
