1. A method performed by a network node configured to handle communication in a wireless communication network comprising a first radio network node (RNN) and a second RNN providing dual connectivity to a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
calculating an average delay of packets transmitted or received via the first and second RNNs during a measurement period, based on the following:
first and second delays for the respective first and second RNNs during the measurement period; and
a third delay associated with both the first and second RNNs during the measurement period;
respective weights for the first, second, and third delays, wherein the respective weights are based on one or more of the following:
respective numbers of packets transmitted or received when packet duplication was enabled and not enabled during the measurement period; and
respective durations of periods when packet duplication was enabled and not enabled during the measurement period.
