You've stumbled onto one of the "Great Debates". Take the easy way
out and do it however you want :) A couple of options are:

Barrier Spells do degrade as per the rules, disappating when they're
reduced to zero.

Ditto, but they refresh on the caster's next action (assuming he's
sustaining it, if it's quickened at the end of the combat turn).

Ditto, but they refresh at the end of the phase.

Barrier Spells don't degrade.

Have Fun, Buy Shadowrun Products (or is that the other way around?),
