Embodiments herein may relate to a method performed by a radio network node for handling communication over a bandwidth interval for one or more UEs, in a wireless communication network. The radio network node determines to change a currently used bandwidth interval based on a current state of usage of resources in the 5 currently used bandwidth interval related to number of UEs served and/or a current state of positions of the number of UEs served. With the proviso that it is determined to change the currently used bandwidth interval, the radio network node calculates a changed bandwidth interval to use. The radio network node then adjusts the currently used bandwidth interval to the calculated bandwidth interval; and uses the adjusted 10 bandwidth interval for communicating with the one or more UEs.
