Abstract

A method and radio access node for controlling beam transmission from a radio access node. The method identifies a number of user equipment (UEs) associated with a same beam set and groups the identified UEs into one or more corresponding groups. The method assigns a same discontinuous reception (DRX) phase to the UEs in each corresponding group, and coordinates transmission from the beam set to UEs in the one or more corresponding groups based on the assigned DRX phase.
