Abstract
A method performed by a network node for managing a radio resource between the network node and a first User Equipment, in a wireless communications network is provided. The network node serves a number of UEs, comprising the first UE and one or more second UEs. The first UE has a radio resource allocated for communication between the first UE and the network node. The network node estimates (203) a prediction of a forthcoming empty data flow related to the allocated radio resource, based on a measured data flow between the network node and the first UE. The network node further determines (205) a threshold related to the prediction, based on a measured data flow between the network node and the number of UEs. The network node then decides (206) whether or not to initiate a removal of the radio resource allocated to the first UE based on whether or not the prediction exceeds the threshold.
