Abstract

A network node is connected to a plurality of antenna nodes that are located along a constrained path where a plurality of wireless communication devices are located. The antenna nodes are controlled to maintain reception radio lobes substantially along the path such that the wireless communication devices can perform uplink radio communication with the network node via the reception radio lobes. At least one radio frequency, RF, signal is detected and a determination is made that the detected at least one RF signal originates from a respective wireless communication device of a specific subset among said plurality of wireless communication devices. The specific subset comprises wireless communication devices that are associated with a common radio frequency offset. An allocation of a common uplink radio communication resource is then made for all wireless communication devices in the specific subset of wireless communication devices.
