1. A method performed by a base station for relaying control messages between a core network entity of a communications network and radio devices served by the base station of the communications network, the method comprising or initiating:
relaying each of the control messages from one of the radio devices to the core network entity or from the core network entity to one of the radio devices, wherein each of the relayed control messages comprises an identifier that is indicative of at least one of the respective one of the radio devices and a user thereof; and
storing the control messages at the base station, wherein the identifier is replaced in each of the stored control messages by a placeholder value that is independent of at least one of the respective one of the radio devices and the user thereof.
