Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a participant of a communication system, wherein the communication system communicates wirelessly in a frequency used by a plurality of communication systems, wherein the participant is configured to transmit data uncoordinatedly with respect to other participants and/or a base station of the communication system, wherein the participant is configured to receive, temporally synchronized to a transmitted uplink data transfer to the base station of the communication system, a downlink data transfer from the base station, wherein the downlink data transfer includes signaling information, wherein the participant is configured to receive a point-to-multipoint data transfer from the base station on the basis of the signaling information.
