Abstract
There are provided mechanisms for configuring resolution of uplink data. An exemplary radio equipment controller (REC) of an access node includes an interface (RCE-RE interface) to a radio equipment (RE) and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to cause the REC to provide instructions to the RE regarding a resolution in time and/or frequency domain with which beam direction reports are to be transmitted to the REC on the REC-RE interface. The beam direction reports are based on uplink appointed reference symbols for sounding received by the RE on a radio interface and is to be transmitted from the RE to the REC. The REC may thus configure the resolution of the beam direction reports that are received by the REC.
