Claim 9:
10. A network node for beam management in a wireless communications network, the network node being comprising:
processing circuitry configured to:
receive from a User Equipment, UE, one or more first quality values measured by the UE on first reference signals transmitted by the network node in respective one or more beams comprised in a first set of candidate beams;
select for an upcoming data communication with the UE, a serving beam out of the first set of candidate beams based on the received quality values; create a rule related to signal quality;
obtain one or more second quality values related to respective subsequent messages transmitted to the UE in the selected serving beam; and
as long as the rule is fulfilled with respect to second quality value, transmit one or more further subsequent messages only in the serving beam, the rule defining a quality value based on at least one of the first quality values, and the rule fulfilled as long as the difference between the second quality value and the at least one of the first quality values is below a first threshold value and above a second threshold value.
