Abstract

Embodiments herein relate to a method performed by a wireless device (10) for managing communication in a wireless communication network. The wireless device receives reference signals from one or more radio network nodes. The wireless device (10) estimates to what extent the received reference signals are received spatially diversified based on a radio network node indication indicating from which radio network node the reference signal was sent, and/or on a beam indication indicating in what direction the reference signal was sent toward the wireless device. The wireless device (10) then generates a measurement report by adding selected reference signals into the measurement report, which reference signals are selected for simultaneous multiple transmissions of data to the wireless device (10) taking into account the estimated extent that the received reference signals are received spatially diversified. The wireless device (10) then transmits the measurement report to a radio network node (12) in the wireless communication network (1).
