Embodiments include methods for managing a bidirectional measurement for an uplink/downlink pair of links between one or more first nodes and one or more second nodes in a wireless network. Methods include obtaining a transmit timing of a first signal on a first link of the pair during a first time resource, obtaining a receive timing of a second signal on a second link of the pair during a second time resource, and determining the bidirectional measurement based on the obtained transmit timing and obtained receive timing. In this arrangement, at least one of the following applies: the first and second links are between one first node and two respective second nodes; at least one of the first link and the second link are associated with a non-serving carrier frequency; and at least one of the first link and the second link are managed via one or more beams.
