A method, performed by a Policy and Charging Rules Function, PCRF, node, for monitoring an ability of a wireless device to receive downlink data, the PCRF node being in a wireless communications network, the method comprising: receiving, from an application server, a request message to monitor the ability of the wireless device to receive downlink data; determining a congestion threshold and a valid location of the wireless device based on a subscription or policy data; transmitting, to at least one network node a first application server initiated status request to check a congestion status of the wireless device with respect to the congestion threshold, wherein the first application server initiated status request comprises the congestion threshold, and to at least one second network node (110, 111, 113a, 115, 117, 119a), a second application server initiated status request to check a reachability status of the wireless device, wherein the second application server initiated status request comprises an indication that the PCRF node is to be informed with the wireless device enters a connected mode or an indication that the PCRF node is to be informed of the wireless device's current location and/or if the wireless device changes location; receiving, from the at least one network node, the congestion status and, from the at least one second network node, the reachability status of the wireless device; determining if the wireless device is able to receive downlink data based on the congestion status and the reachability status, wherein the determining further comprises determining the wireless device is able to receive downlink data if the reachability status indicates that the wireless device is in a connected mode and/or the wireless device is in a valid location in which the wireless device is reachable, and the congestion status comprises a current congestion level that is lower than the congestion threshold; and if the wireless device is able to receive downlink data, transmitting, to the application server, a notification that the wireless device is able to receive the downlink data; receiving, from an application server, a request message to monitor the ability of the wireless device to receive downlink data; determining a congestion threshold and a valid location of the wireless device based on a subscription or policy data; transmitting, to at least one network node a first application server initiated status request to check a congestion status of the wireless device with respect to the congestion threshold, wherein the first application server initiated status request comprises the congestion threshold, and to at least one second network node (110, 111, 113a, 115, 117, 119a), a second application server initiated status request to check a reachability status of the wireless device, wherein the second application server initiated status request comprises an indication that the PCRF node is to be informed with the wireless device enters a connected mode or an indication that the PCRF node is to be informed of the wireless device's current location and/or if the wireless device changes location; receiving, from the at least one network node, the congestion status and, from the at least one second network node, the reachability status of the wireless device; determining if the wireless device is able to receive downlink data based on the congestion status and the reachability status, wherein the determining further comprises determining the wireless device is able to receive downlink data if the reachability status indicates that the wireless device is in a connected mode and/or the wireless device is in a valid location in which the wireless device is reachable, and the congestion status comprises a current congestion level that is lower than the congestion threshold; and if the wireless device is able to receive downlink data, transmitting, to the application server, a notification that the wireless device is able to receive the downlink data;
