Abstract
A method in a communication network for predicting whether a second service will be used by a user in a future time slot. The method comprises obtaining information about which services, of a plurality of services, have historically been used in which time slots in the communication network. The method comprises analysing the obtained information to determine that, whether a first service of the plurality of services is used in any of the historic time slots, correlates with whether the second service of the plurality of services is used in said historic time slot. The method comprises predicting whether the first service will be used by the user in the future time slot. The method comprises predicting, based on whether the first service has been predicted to be used in the future time slot, whether the second service will be used by the user in said future time slot.
