Abstract
The present disclosure relates to radio communication and, more particularly, to beam-forming in a combined radio cell deployment. In one example embodiment, the disclosure presents a method performed by a network node operating in a combined radio cell, wherein the method comprises creating a probing pilot (e.g., a F-CPICH) which is multiplied with a beam-forming vector weight; and transmitting a first radio signal to a UE, the first radio signal comprising the created probing pilot multiplied with the beam-forming vector weight.
