Abstract

Methods, a wireless device (110), a radio network node (120) and a core network node (130) for reservation of bandwidth are disclosed. The wireless device (110) sends (A010), to the core network node (130), an inquiry for reservation of bandwidth. The inquiry comprises information about a route to be travelled by the wireless device (110), a start time, and an indication about the bandwidth to be reserved. The core network node (130) sends (A040), to the radio network node (120), a command for reservation of the bandwidth to be reserved for the wireless device (110). The command comprises the indication, information relating to one or more cells of the radio network node (120), in which one or more cells bandwidth is to be reserved according to the indication, a parameter indicating a period of time during which the wireless device (110) is expected to make use of at least some of the bandwidth to be reserved, and an identity of the wireless device (110). The radio network node (120) determines (A060) grant or denial of the command based on the period of time and based on available bandwidth of the radio network node (120).
