Abstract

A wireless device (120) and a method for initiating a procedure for re-establishing a capability of communication in a wireless communications network (100). The wireless device (120) and a radio network node (110) operate in the wireless communications network (100). The wireless device (120) receives, from the radio network node (110), a first signal that is specific for the wireless device (120). In response to that a certain time has elapsed since a latest receipt of the first signal, the wireless device (120) initiates a procedure for re-establishing a capability of communication between the wireless device (120) and the radio network node (110) using a beam pair.
