Abstract
A method for a network node of a cellular communication network is disclosed. The network node is adapted to communicate with a wireless communication device. The method comprises acquiring location-related parameters of the wireless communication device, dynamically determining—based on the acquired location-related parameters—a transmission pattern of reference signals (wherein the reference signals are for mobility measurements by the wireless communication device), indicating the determined transmission pattern to the wireless communication device and transmitting the reference signals in accordance with the determined transmission pattern. Dynamically determining the transmission pattern may be further based on handover statistics associated with the location-related parameters. The location-related parameters may comprise at least one of a geographical position of the wireless communication device and a travelling speed of the wireless communication device. The location-related parameters may further comprise a travelling direction of the wireless communication device. Corresponding arrangement, network node and computer program product are also disclosed.
