Abstract
There is provided a method at a network node equipped with an advance antenna system, AAS. The AAS comprises a plurality of antenna elements and one or more radio frequency integrated circuits, RFICs. Each of the one or more RFICs is associated with one or more of the plurality of antenna elements. The method comprising: capturing a plurality of signal samples of one or more signal chains of each of the one or more RFICs. Each of the one or more signal chains correspond to one or more of the plurality of antenna elements and a signal sample is associated with an envelope power level at an output of the respective signal chain; and summing at least a subset of the plurality of signal samples to obtain a short term average power value at the AAS.
