Abstract

See full text

A technique for assigning pilot signals to user equipments is described. The UEs access an RBS that provides radio access. As to a method aspect of the technique, an access burst including initial pilot signals is received from the UEs, wherein at least two of the UEs apply simultaneously the same initial pilot signal. A multicast channel to the at least two UEs is estimated based on the received access burst. A combined signal power received at the RBS is computed for the at least two UEs based on the estimated multicast channel. A message to the at least two UEs is sent using the multicast channel. The message is indicative of the combined signal power and assigns different pilot signals to the at least two UEs, wherein the assignment depends for each of the at least two UEs on the combined signal power and a signal power received at the respective UE.
