1. A method for handling beamforming beams, the method being performed by a node operating in a wireless communications network, and the method comprising:
establishing that at least two beams in a first set of beams transmitted by one or more first radio network nodes operating in the wireless communications network are overlapping, the establishing being based on at least information including a first indication of a first result of one or more measurements performed by one or more wireless devices on the first set of beams, the node being one of the one or more wireless devices, and the establishing being further based on a first level of similarity in coverage areas of each of the at least two beams, the coverage areas being derived according to the first result of the one or more measurements obtained from the at least two beams within a first time period, and a respective geographical position of the one or more first radio network nodes; and
providing a second indication to at least one of: the node, one or more second radio network nodes, or the one or more wireless devices, the second indication being based on the established overlap of the at least two beams in the first set of beams.
