Abstract

There is provided mechanisms for beam width adjustment. A method is performed by a radio transceiver device. The method comprises communicating, using a current beam, with another radio transceiver device. The method comprises obtaining a signal strength indicator and a transmission rank of the current beam. The method comprises determining an adjustment indicator for adjusting beam width of the current beam for continued communications with said another radio transceiver device. The adjustment indicator is based on the signal strength indicator and the 0 transmission rank. The method comprises initiating adjustment of the beam width according to the adjustment indicator.
