Abstract
A node () of a cellular network node sends data units to a group of base stations (). Each data unit is configured for conveying multicast data to be sent by the base stations () in a synchronized manner at a starting time indicated in the data unit. For each of the data units, the node () determines the starting time as the sum of the time of sending the data unit from the node and an offset value. Further, the node () obtains feedback information from the base stations () of the group. The feedback information indicates a deviation of the starting time indicated in one of the data units () from an earliest possible time of sending the multicast data from the data unit () by the base stations () of the group. Depending on the feedback information, the node () adapts the offset value.
