Method for comparative radio resource evaluation, comprising the steps of: assessing, by a user equipment , quality metrics of dedicated random access channel, RACH, resources carried by a first beam and assessing quality metrics of common RACH resources carried by a second beam , comparatively evaluating, by the user equipment , said assessed quality metrics of said resources, and storing or transmitting, by the user equipment , the comparative evaluation result or taking further measures in accordance with said comparative evaluation result, wherein said assessing comprises: assessing (S1) a first quality metrics qA of dedicated RACH resources carried by the first beam , assessing (S2) a second quality metrics qB of common RACH resources carried by the second beam , said comparative evaluation comprises: obtaining (S3) a set quality offset metrics qO, and if the second quality metrics qB exceeds said first quality metrics qA by at least said set quality offset metrics qO, making a second determination (S6), and otherwise making a first determination (S5), wherein the first determination or the second determination overwrites a default determination to use the dedicated RACH resources, wherein assessing the first quality metrics and/or the second quality metrics is made selectively by one of a plurality of available quality metric assessment methods and for said first and/or second determination one of plural available quality metrics assessment methods is selected, and a corresponding plurality of available set quality offset metrics qO is provided for a corresponding selection of one of them. assessing, by a user equipment , quality metrics of dedicated random access channel, RACH, resources carried by a first beam and assessing quality metrics of common RACH resources carried by a second beam , comparatively evaluating, by the user equipment , said assessed quality metrics of said resources, and storing or transmitting, by the user equipment , the comparative evaluation result or taking further measures in accordance with said comparative evaluation result, wherein said assessing comprises: assessing (S1) a first quality metrics qA of dedicated RACH resources carried by the first beam , assessing (S2) a second quality metrics qB of common RACH resources carried by the second beam , assessing (S1) a first quality metrics qA of dedicated RACH resources carried by the first beam , assessing (S2) a second quality metrics qB of common RACH resources carried by the second beam , said comparative evaluation comprises: obtaining (S3) a set quality offset metrics qO, and if the second quality metrics qB exceeds said first quality metrics qA by at least said set quality offset metrics qO, making a second determination (S6), and otherwise making a first determination (S5), obtaining (S3) a set quality offset metrics qO, and if the second quality metrics qB exceeds said first quality metrics qA by at least said set quality offset metrics qO, making a second determination (S6), and otherwise making a first determination (S5), wherein the first determination or the second determination overwrites a default determination to use the dedicated RACH resources, wherein assessing the first quality metrics and/or the second quality metrics is made selectively by one of a plurality of available quality metric assessment methods and for said first and/or second determination one of plural available quality metrics assessment methods is selected, and a corresponding plurality of available set quality offset metrics qO is provided for a corresponding selection of one of them. <EOS>
