Abstract

A method for uplink allocation of radio resources in a cellular network including a network node and, associated therewith, at least one user equipment supporting data reception from a global navigation satellite system. The method includes, for each of the at least one user equipment: if uplink data transmission from the user equipment to the network node is based on aggregation of carriers and if data reception from the global navigation satellite system is enabled, determining a reception time interval, with respect to a framing system of the cellular network, during which data reception from the global navigation satellite system takes place, the determining based on timing information concerning data reception by the user equipment from the global navigation satellite system; if uplink data transmission potentially takes place at least partially within the reception time interval, limiting allocation of radio resources for the uplink data transmission from the user equipment.
