A method performed in a cellular communication network for establishing that a first cell of said network is unable to receive uplink radio signals. The method comprises determining that no indicative radio message has been received from any radio device during a predetermined time period.

The method may also comprise obtaining information about how to receive the radio signal. The method may also comprise determining that the radio signal was not successfully received by the first cell in accordance with the obtained information.
