Abstract
The invention relates to devices in a wireless network transmitting uplink beacons such as a network node comprising a transceiver for communication with at least one User Equipment, UE. The network node is configured to receive an at least one uplink beacon corresponding to the at least one UE, and to determine a group comprising at least a first UE and a second UE, based on received uplink beacons from the first UE and the second UE. The network node is also configured to determine uplink beacon reconfiguration for each UE in the group, comprising information specifying a group uplink beacon, and information specifying a UE configuration for the UEs of the group, indicating each UE of the group either as being a UE for sending said group uplink beacon, or as a UE for receiving said group uplink beacon.
