Abstract

The invention relates to a method in a reporting communications node (12, 14) for detecting usage of a resource within a radio access network. The reporting communication node (12, 14) is comprised within a radio communications network (1), in which radio communications network (1) a user equipment (12) is served. The reporting communications node monitors a performance measurement per user equipment of the user equipment (12), which performance measurement indicates usage of resources within a radio access network. The reporting communication node detects when the performance measurement per user equipment of the user equipment (12) goes beyond a threshold value over a preset period of time. In addition, the reporting communication node reports to a different communication node (14, 15) or within the communication node (12, 14), the performance measurement per user equipment when the performance measurement per user equipment goes beyond the threshold value.
