Abstract
A method () for scheduling uplink transmission resources such as transmission duration and frequency to users () in a cell () of a cellular system (). Grants for the use of uplink transmission resources are sent () on a downlink control channel to users in the cell and the users' uplink transmissions are sent () in subframes which have a certain extension in time and frequency. For each of at least a number of subframes, a decision () is made on the number of users that will be scheduled resources for uplink transmission in the subframe, so that said number of users is maximized () with respect to the control channel's capacity to transmit uplink grants for that subframe.
