1. A method for reporting network performance degradation in a communications system, the method being performed by a wireless device, the method comprising:
selecting a first configuration for reporting the network performance degradation currently experienced when current speed of travel is above a speed threshold, and else selecting a second configuration, according to the second configuration the reporting being controlled by a network-specific timer, a new reporting of the network performance degradation only being allowed upon expiration of the network-specific timer;
according to the second configuration, the reporting of the network performance degradation is controlled by a device-specific timer and, when the wireless device is configured with both the network-specific timer and the device-specific timer, a new reporting of the network performance degradation for a location is only allowed upon expiration of the network-specific timer, even when the device-specific timer expires first; and
reporting, to a network node in the communications system, network performance degradation as experienced by the wireless device using the selected configuration.
