Abstract:
A method performed by a first Radio Control Node (RCN) for handling a radio connection to be established in a second beam controlled by a second RCN for the UE served in a first beam controlled by the first RCN. When the radio connection of the UE, served in a first beam controlled by the first RCN, has been established in the second beam controlled by a second RCN, the first RCN obtains feedback from the second RCN. The feedback relates to information about the characteristics of the radio connection in the second beam resulting from measurements performed when the radio connection has been established between the UE and a second radio node providing the second beam. The first RCN then provides for the radio connection to be established in the second beam controlled by the second RCN for any UEs served in the first beam.
