Abstract
Method for a base station communicating with a plurality of User Entities, UE, according to a Time Division Duplex, TDD, access scheme via antennas, the base station being adapted for receiving Scheduling Requests, SRs, from the UEs, a SR indicating a request for scheduling an uplink transmission from a UE. The base station is communicating over a plurality of antennas associated with respective wide beams and narrow beams, a plurality of wide beams covering respective areas, whereby for each wide beam at least one narrow beam form a joint area with a wide beam. The TDD scheme involving at least a Physical Uplink Scheduling Control Channel, PUSCH, and including periodically appearing SR occasions, the base station being adapted for receiving and decoding a transmission from a UE and establishing whether a SR from at least one UE is received in a periodic occasion.
