1. A method for measurement reporting performed by a wireless device, the method comprising:
receiving, from a network, a message indicating that the wireless device is to transition from a Radio Resource Control connected (RRC_CONNECTED) state to a Radio Resource Control Idle (RRC_IDLE) or Radio Resource Control Inactive (RRC_INACTIVE) state, the message comprising a beam measurement configuration, the beam measurement configuration comprising a list of beams;
based on the beam measurement configuration comprising the list of beams, performing at least one beam measurement while operating in the RRC_IDLE or RRC_INACTIVE state;
transitioning from the RRC_IDLE or RRC_INACTIVE state to the RRC_CONNECTED state; and
reporting a result of the at least one beam measurement to the network while in the RRC_CONNECTED state.
