Method and devices for allocating bearers

摘要

The embodiments herein relates to a method in a target Mobility Management Entity, MME, for allocating bearers in a target network, which target MME is comprised in the target network and which target network comprises a first number of existing bearers. When a second number of required bearers is larger than the first number of existing bearers in the target network, the target MME transmits an allocation request message to a target base station. The allocation request message comprises a request for allocation of the first number of existing bearers and a request for allocation of a third number of extra bearers in the target network.
