Abstract

See full text

It is presented a method for determining how to combine received signals from a plurality of antennas in an antenna set. The method is performed in a network node and comprises the steps of: determining for each evaluation sector whether it is better to perform intra-sector IRC on received signals for all antennas of the evaluation sector than refraining from performing IRC; for each evaluation sector, when it is better to perform intra-sector IRC, forming a single antenna part; for each evaluation sector, when it is better to refrain from performing IRC on any of the received signals for the antennas, forming a separate antenna part for each antenna; determining for a sector group whether it is better to perform inter-sector IRC on all its antennas or to keep the previously formed antenna parts; forming a single combined antenna part for the sector group when it is better to perform IRC on the at least two evaluation sectors of the sector group.
