Abstract

A method in a network node downloads an upcoming web page to a user equipment. The network node obtains a first value, relating to the upcoming web page, of a set of features. The features represent any one out of: the upcoming web page, the user equipment, and a web browser in the user equipment. The network node predicts whether it is beneficial regarding download time to activate an uplink grant pre-allocation for the user equipment for downloading the upcoming web page. The prediction is based on a relationship between the first value and of a second value of the set of features, which second value is related to a previously downloaded web page, and an evaluation whether it is beneficial regarding download time to activate the uplink grant pre-allocation for the previously downloaded web page. The network node provides the prediction to a base station.
