Zusammenfassung:According to an aspect, a method in the radio head comprises receiving a reference signal from a terminal device, and computing a channel estimate on the basis of the reference signal and transferring the channel estimate with a first precision level to the network node over a link between the radio head and the network node. The first precision level defines a first number of bits carrying the channel estimate, then the method determines to change the precision level and, in response to the determining, transfers the channel estimate or a further channel estimate with a second precision level to the network node. The second precision level defines a second number of bits carrying the channel estimate or the further channel estimate, the second number being different from the first number.
