Abstract: It is an object to provide a procedure for handling failure of a subset of serving beam pair links in wireless radio communication. A client device is configured to monitor, independently, a link quality of each serving downlink (DL) beam pair link (BPL) of the client device; detect at least one failed DL BPL based on the monitoring, where the at least one failed DL BPL is a subset of the monitored serving DL BPLs; choose an uplink, UL, BPL, where the chosen UL BPL corresponds to an available serving DL BPL of the monitored serving DL BPLs; and transmit a beam report within a predetermined time period from the detection through a non-contention-based channel using the chosen UL BPL, where the beam report indicates the at least one failed DL BPL. A client device, a network device, methods and a computer program are included.
