14. A device for selectively transmitting a skip signal indicative of skipping a downlink control channel from an access node to a radio device, the device comprising:
processing circuitry;
memory containing instructions executable by the processing circuitry whereby the device is operative to:
determine, for the radio device, whether a criterion for at least one of skipping the downlink control channel and transmitting the skip signal indicative of skipping the downlink control channel is fulfilled; and
transmit, to the radio device, the skip signal indicative of skipping the downlink control channel if the criterion has been determined to be fulfilled for a predefined duration, wherein the skip signal is transmitted if the criterion has been determined to be fulfilled at least twice within the predefined duration.
