Abstract

A method performed by a network node for beam management. The network node receives one or more quality values from a User Equipment (UE). The one or more quality values are measured by the UE on first reference signals transmitted by the network node in respective one or more beams in a first set of candidate beams. The A serving beam is selected out of the first set of candidate beams based on the received quality values for data communication with the UE. The network node creates a rule related to signal quality. The network node obtains one or more second quality values related to respective subsequent messages transmitted to the UE in the selected serving beam. As long as the rule is fulfilled with respect to the second quality value, the network node transmits one or more further subsequent messages only in the serving beam.
