Abstract

A method performed by a first radio node for handling a beam pair with a second radio node is provided. The first radio node receives a first information from one or more other radio nodes. The first information comprises a number of quality values related to a number of beam pairs. The first radio node predicts a time to failure for a first beam pair. The first radio node then decides whether or not there is enough time until the predicted time to failure, for performing a beam pair switch from the first beam pair to a second beam pair. When there is enough time, the first radio node switches to the second beam pair before the predicted time to failure. When there is not enough time, the first radio node prepares an upcoming beam pair failure.
