1. A method performed by a wireless device for handling communication of the wireless device in a wireless communication network, the method comprising:
receiving from the radio network node, when the wireless device is in a first state, a beam configuration indicating which beam or beams of the cell the wireless device is preferred to select during a state transition with respect to the cell, wherein the beam configuration is received as configuration information in system information;
performing a state transition from the first state to an active state with respect to the cell, taking the beam configuration into account; and
receiving, from the radio network node, a rejection indication rejecting the state transition, with additional information on how to access the cell again using another beam and/or another random access channel (RACH) resource.
