Abstract
A method performed by a method performed by a network node for performing admission control in a wireless communications network is provided. The network node serves a first and one or more second UEs. The network node receives (201) from the first UE, an access request for a radio resource for communication between the first UE and the network node. The network node further estimates (203) a first prediction of a requirement of the radio resource related to the access request, based on a measured initial data traffic between the network node and the first UE. The network node determines (205) a first threshold related to the first prediction, as a function of a measured data traffic load between the network node and the one or more second UEs. The network node then performs (206) admission control by deciding whether or not to admit the radio resource to the first UE, based on whether or not the first prediction exceeds the first threshold.
