Facilitating enhanced beam management in a wireless communication system

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:

• determining first beam information for a selected first beam of beams associated with a base station device, wherein the selected first beam is for downlink transmission;
• determining second beam information for a selected second beam of the beams associated with the base station device, wherein the selected second beam is an alternative to the selected first beam for transmission of downlink data to a device, and wherein the determining and reporting of the second beam information are performed during a random-access channel procedure;
• and
• transmitting, the first beam information and the second beam information;
• wherein the random-access channel procedure comprises a procedure to re-establish a connection for the device after failure of a communication channel to which the device was connected, and wherein the connection is for handover of the device from the communication channel.

An apparatus, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
• determining first beam information for a selected first beam of beams associated with a base station device, wherein the selected first beam is for downlink transmission;
• determining second beam information for a selected second beam of the beams associated with the base station device, wherein the selected second beam is an alternative to the selected first beam for transmission of downlink data to the device, and wherein the determining the second beam information is performed during a random-access channel procedure;
• and
• transmitting, by the apparatus, the first beam information and the second beam information;
• wherein the random-access channel procedure comprises a procedure to re-establish a connection for the device after failure of a communication channel to which the device was connected, and wherein the connection is for handover of the device from the communication channel.
