Abstract
The proposed technology relates to the issue of supporting release of common radio resources in a radio communication network. A radio network controller () sends an indication of a value of a timer for implicit release of common radio resources to a base station (). The base station () receives the indication of a value of a timer for implicit release of common radio resources and determines whether to release common radio resources based on the indication of a value of the timer for implicit release of common radio resources. In this way, by using the indication of a value of the timer for implicit release the base station () will be able to correctly determine whether to release the common resources upon reception of a report of empty buffer status from a UE. This will eliminate misinterpretations of the empty buffer status report, and avoid unnecessary radio link failures.
