Abstract

There is provided a method for utilizing antenna beam information. The method is performed by a network node. The method comprises acquiring antenna beam information indicative of a direction of a wireless device (WD) specific beam of the network node. The method comprises classifying the acquired antenna beam information into a cell specific beam category based on an angular difference between the direction and a direction of main lobe of a cell specific beam of the network node. The method comprises performing at least one of a load balancing action of the wireless device and a radiation beam pattern change related to the cell specific beam category.
