1. A method performed by a User Equipment, UE, for cell or beam selection or reselection for a cellular communications system, the method comprising:
receiving response times from one or more Radio Access Network, RAN, nodes via one or more broadcast messages; and
performing a cell or beam selection or reselection procedure that takes into consideration the response times received from the one or more RAN nodes;
wherein the response times take into account delays and loads on interfaces northbound, in terms of network topology, from the one or more RAN nodes.
