Abstract

The present solution relates to a method in a source serving gateway (207a) for triggering relocation of at least one user equipment bearer resource from the source serving gateway (207a) to at least one target serving gateway (207b) in a communication network (200). The source serving gateway (207a) serves the user equipment (203) by providing bearer resources to the user equipment (203). The source serving gateway (207a) detects (501) an event indicating relocation of the at least one user equipment bearer resource from the source serving gateway (207a) to the at least one target serving gateway (207b). Furthermore, the source serving gateway (207a) sends (502) a message to a mobility management node (205, 209). The message comprises a trigger to relocate the at least one user equipment bearer resource from the source serving gateway (207a) to the at least one target serving gateway (207b).
