Abstract
A method performed by a network node is provided. The network node calculates a first Information Carrying Capacity (ICC) associated with a first layer. The first ICC is calculated based on beam weights calculated for the first layer, and an established channel estimate of the first layer. The first layer is selected to a set of layers. The network node performs actions iteratively at least one time for layer selection, adds a subsequent layer, adapts the calculated beam weights to be used as subsequent beam weights for a subsequent layer, calculates a subsequent ICC for the subsequent layer, decides whether to select the added subsequent layer to the set of layers and rejecting the subsequent layer when the sum of the ICCs of the layers in the set of layers and the subsequent ICC is lower than the sum of ICCs of the layers in the set of layers.
