Abstract

According to some embodiments, a method in a network node of a wireless network for aligning discovery reference signal (DRS) occurrences comprises determining a first DRS occurrence configuration that comprises a schedule for transmission of a first series of DRS occurrences. The method further comprises determining a first discovery measurement timing configuration (DMTC) that comprises a schedule for receiving DRS occurrences that is aligned with a first subset of DRS occurrences of the first series of DRS occurrences. The method further comprises determining a second DMTC that comprises a schedule for receiving DRS occurrences that is aligned with a second subset of DRS occurrences of the first series of DRS occurrences, wherein the second subset of DRS occurrences is different than the first subset of DRS occurrences. The method further comprises communicating the first DMTC to a first wireless device and the second DMTC to a second wireless device.
