Abstract

A method in a first network node for handling a GBR bearer is provided. The first network node is comprised in a communications system. The first network node allocates (202) to a user equipment, a GBR bearer for a data transmission. A first timer in the first network node is started (203), when scheduling data for the data transmission on the GBR bearer is interrupted. The first network node releases (204) the GBR bearer, when the first timer has expired, when there is a request for a bearer from a second network node, and when there are no further bearer resources available within the first radio network node.
