Optimizing usage of a coordinated service

A network node for optimizing coordinated services, the network node comprising:

• a data storage system;
• and
• processing circuitry coupled to the data storage system, wherein the network node is configured to:
• obtain a timing requirement value (MRTDR) representing a maximum received timing difference requirement;
• obtain a first timing alignment error value (TAE-1) indicating a timing alignment error between a first transmission and reception point (TRP) and a second TRP;
• and
• determine, based on at least the TAE-1 and the MRTDR, whether to:
• initiate a coordinated service for a user equipment (UE) or modify a coordinated service currently being provided to the UE.
