Abstract
A network node (200), a wireless device (202) and methods therein, for indicating and handling assignment of measurement resources in a predefined region of a resource block transmitted by the network node (200). The network node (200) identifies (2:1) a wireless device (202) that is required to perform measurements on signals transmitted by the network node (200) and/or measurements of interference. The network node (200) then assigns (2:2) to the wireless device (202) usage of the measurement resources in the predefined region, and signals (2:3) an indication of the assigned usage of the measurement resources to the wireless device (202). The wireless device (202) is then able to determine and use (2:4) the measurement resources based on the received indication. Thereby, the usage of the measurement resources can be assigned in a dynamic and flexible manner, e.g. depending on the current need for measurement resources.
