1. A method, performed at a network node, for beam control signaling, wherein the network node is configured to communicate with a wireless device, wherein the wireless device comprises one or more physical antenna panels, wherein each physical antenna panel is configured to communicate with the network node using one or more panels, the method comprising:
receiving, from the wireless device, control signaling indicative of an association of the one or more panels that are activated or powered together with one or more corresponding physical antenna panels; and
selecting, based on the association, one or more beams to be used by the wireless device in communication with the network node.
