Apparatus, method and computer program

A method comprising:

• communicating, by a child node, with a parent node in a wireless communication system;
• performing one or more measurements with one or more candidate parent nodes to obtain preconfigured beam information;
• storing the preconfigured beam information for communication between the child node and the one or more candidate parent nodes, the preconfigured beam information being based on the one or more measurements carried out by the child node;
• and
• when the child node initiates a connection with a candidate parent node of the one or more candidate parent nodes for recovery purposes, using the preconfigured beam information for at least initial communication with the candidate parent node.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium bearing computer program code embodied therein for use with a computer, the computer program code comprising code for performing at least the following:

• communicating with a parent node in a wireless communication system;
• performing one or more measurements with one or more candidate parent nodes to obtain preconfigured beam information;
• storing the preconfigured beam information for communication between a child node and the one or more candidate parent nodes, the preconfigured beam information being based on the one or more measurements carried out by the child node;
• and
• when the child node initiates a connection with a candidate parent node of the one or more candidate parent nodes for recovery purposes, using the preconfigured beam information for at least initial communication with the candidate parent node.
