Abstract
A method for evaluating a connection between a first network node and a User Equipment (UE) via a second cell. The first network node serves a first cell. A sending of a first message is initiated. The first message is sent from the first network node to the UE via the second cell. The first message comprises a trigger for the UE to respond by sending a second message comprising feedback relating to the connection to the second cell. A time value difference between the sending of said first message and receiving of said second message in the first network node is obtained. The second message comprises the feedback relating to the connection sent from the UE in response to the first message. Then it is evaluated how the connection shall be used based on the obtained time value difference and the received feedback.
