Claim 16:
17. A method for participating in a beam management procedure, the method being performed by a terminal device, the method comprising:
during a first part of the beam management procedure,
receiving one occurrence of a first reference signal, transmitted by the network node in a first set of beams, and
transmitting, to the network node, a first report identifying at least a first beam, in the first set of beams, in which the first reference signal has been received with highest received power at the terminal device;

during a second part of the beam management procedure, distinct from the first part, receiving a number of occurrences of a second reference signal, transmitted by the network node in the at least first beam, wherein one respective occurrence is received, by the terminal device, in one respective beam in a second set of beams, where the second reference signal is received with highest received power in at least a second beam comprised in the second set of beams; and
during a third part of the beam management procedure, following the second part,
receiving, one occurrence of a third reference signal, transmitted by the network node in a third set of beams covered by the at least first beam; wherein the third reference signal is received in the second beam, and
transmitting, to the network node, a second report identifying at least a third beam in the third set of beams, in which the third reference signal is received with highest received power at the terminal device.
