Abstract
There is provided mechanisms for performing a beam selection process. A method is performed by a network node. The method comprises transmitting reference signals during the beam selection process. The beam selection process involves two consecutive beam sweeps to be performed using a set of direction beams. During each of the two consecutive beam sweeps the reference signals are sequentially transmitted in the set of direction beams as the directional beams are swept. During the two consecutive beam sweeps, the reference signals are in a first subset of the directional beams transmitted with a first polarization, and the reference signals are in a second subset of the directional beams transmitted with a second polarization.
