Abstract

Embodiments herein relate to a method performed by a network node in a communication network for handling data of objects in the communication network. The network node determines a position of an object based on a signal strength or a signal quality of a beamforming transmission, wherein the beamforming transmission comprises transmitted radio beams that swipe a surrounding. The network node determines position by analysing the signal strength or signal quality of the transmitted radio beams and comparing signal strength or signal quality from a previous beamforming transmission that swipe the surrounding. The network node further provides an output indicating the determined position of the object.
