Abstract: The exemplary embodiments of the invention provide apparatuses, methods and computer program products for reducing uplink interference in a wireless communication system. The method includes: apportioning a plurality of resources in a resource space such that at least one resource of the plurality of resources not used for an uplink transmission from a terminal to an access node is located between a beginning of the resource space and at least one resource of the plurality of resources used for an uplink transmission with the terminal; and informing the terminal of the resources apportioned for the uplink transmission from the terminal to the access node.

Abstract: A method for identification of transceiver devices in a radio communication network, includes the steps of pre-identifying transceiver devices, judging that there is an ambiguous result obtained in the pre-identification, and verifying the ambiguous result by identifying the transceiver devices based on real time difference (RTD) values between the transceiver devices. Also the method may include checking measurement values of an observed time difference (OTD) obtained at a mobile transceiver device operated within a radio communication network constituted by transceiver devices, wherein the checking is based on real time difference values between the transceiver devices. Thus, an improved method is obtained for mobile station location determination and/or for taking handover decisions as well as a way of verifying the reliability of obtained measurement results.
