1. A method of handling network degradation in a wireless communications network, performed by a base station, the method comprising:
receiving from a first user equipment (UE) experiencing a network degradation, a determined type of the network degradation together with an estimated first Timing Advance (TA) value;
calculating, based on the first TA value, a location X associated with the network degradation;
deciding, when a location L1 of a second UE is at a distance from the location X that is below a second threshold, a first decision to perform an action to restrain degrading influence from the location X, which first decision is based on the determined type of the network degradation; and
sending to the second UE, the first decision to perform the action to restrain degrading influence from the location X.
