1. A method performed by a wireless communication device, for reporting network dysfunction in a cell served by a radio network node of a wireless communication network, the method comprising:
obtaining information defining radio communication properties comprising radio resources allocated for use when reporting network dysfunction in said cell of the wireless communication network,
detecting network dysfunction based on detecting interference exceeding a level indicating an intentional disturbance in said cell of the wireless communication network, and
sending a report for receipt in said network node, indicating the detected network dysfunction, using the obtained radio communication properties by broadcasting the report on the allocated radio resources.
