Abstract
Embodiments herein relate to a methods performed by a wireless device (121) for handling discovery signals from one or more transmission points (111, 112) or cells (115, 116) in a radio communications network (100). Embodiments herein further relates to methods performed by a network node (110) for handling discovery signals from one or more transmission points (111, 112) or cells (115, 116) in a radio communications network (100). The method performed by the UE (121) comprises: determining (1101) an identity of a cell associated with received synchronization signals and/or Channel State Information Reference Symbol, CSI-RS, configuration information; and applying (1102) CSI-RS configurations when receiving discovery signals on radio resources associated with CSI-RS based on the determined identity of the cell and/or CSI-RS configuration information. Embodiments of the wireless device (121) and the network node (110) are also described.
