A first terminal receives, on a radio link of a cellular network, at least one uplink pilot signal transmitted by at least one second terminal. The first terminal transmits, on the radio link and to an access node of the cellular network, an uplink report message indicative of at least one property of the received at least one uplink pilot signal.

Pilot signals

The media production element () combines media content from a plurality of streaming electronic devices when they are registered to be within the same streaming event. The media production element () can produce a combined live video stream or a combined media production using selections and combinations of the streamed content provided by the multiple electronic devices. A network assistance device () can determine event-coordinated uplink network assistance data with the goal of prioritizing resource allocation to clients/electronic devices that currently are used for the combined media production, and assign less resources to those that are not currently used. Rather than optimizing individual links, the event-coordinated uplink network assistance data is determined by taking the aggregated capacity and the production needs of the media production element () into account.

The invention is directed to systems, methods and computer program products for discontinuous signaling in a mobile communication network. User equipment (UE)/mobile terminal requests slotted transmissions and, in response to the network authorizing slotted transmissions, communication of subsequent UE transmissions are slotted, such that a minimum time period is required to elapse between each UE transmission. In specific embodiments of the invention the minimum time period is a predetermined time period known in advance to the user equipment and network. In other embodiments of the invention the user equipment slotted transmission requests includes a requested minimum time period, which may be approved or revised by the network. In still further embodiments the network, upon receiving the request for slotted transmissions, determines the minimum time period.

The present invention relates to a method for allocating resources for a transmission of pilot signals of a plurality of terminals (--) of a cellular multiple-input and multiple-output, MIMO, system. The cellular MIMO system () comprises at least a first base station () and a second base station (), wherein each of the first and second base stations () has a plurality of antennas () and a logic () which analyzes pilot signals received from a terminal (--) at the plurality of antennas () to obtain information about radio channel properties between the terminal (--) and the plurality of antennas ().
