Abstract
Methods are provided to operate a first node in a radio access network including a plurality of base stations. The method includes communicating radiation pattern information for a radio access network transmission. The radiation pattern information is communicated between the first node and a second node, and the radiation pattern information includes an indication of power and an indication of direction associated with the indication of power for the radio access network transmission. Related network nodes and base stations are also discussed.
