The method comprises determining (while the UE is in a non-connected mode) a subset of the plurality of beams related to one or more beams previously associated with the UE, transmitting the corresponding SSB for each beam of the plurality of beams, and paging the UE only in PDCCH PMO:s associated with the corresponding SSB:s of the beams of the subset. Corresponding apparatus, network node and computer program product are also disclosed.
