Abstract: The invention relates to a method in a first communication node in a wireless communications network comprising a plurality of second communication nodes for enabling a central processing of local data from second communication nodes in the network. The first communication node establishes (82) an intemode connection in a radio access network of the wireless communications network to a second communication node wherein information is sent of a virtual cell of the first communication node. The first communication node then requests (84) and receives (86) local information from the second communication node. The received local information is then processed (88) into processed data to be used to centrally process the local information of the second communication node. For centrally processing the local information, the processed data is transmitted (90) to a third communication node.

Abstract: A cellular radio communications network includes a core network with a core network node coupled to a radio access network (RAN) associated with a first radio access technology for communicating with mobile radio terminals. The RAN includes multiple RAN nodes. Each mobile radio terminal has an associated access class for accessing service from the cellular radio communications network. The core network node detects an overload condition and sends an overload message to the RAN nodes that includes information for reducing the overload condition. Each of the RAN nodes receives the overload message and determines whether an access class restriction should be implemented to reduce the number of mobile radio terminals permitted to access the cellular radio communications network. If so, the RAN node determines one or more access classes of mobile radio terminals to be restricted based on the information in the overload message.
