The method being performed in a packet loss determiner and comprising the steps of: obtaining a set of user equipments, UEs, that are all scheduled to communicate over a radio interface in a scheduling interval; creating a subset of UEs, comprising a number of UEs, from the set of UEs, that are the UEs in the set being most vulnerable to fronthaul packet loss; determining, for each UE in the subset of UEs, whether the communication in the scheduling interval was unsuccessful; and determining a packet loss in the fronthaul link depending on to what extent each one of the UEs in the subset of UEs is determined to have had unsuccessful use of the radio interface.
