Abstract: The present document relates to setting up and managing two-dimensional or three-dimensional scenes for audio conferences. A conference controller (111, 175) configured to place an upstream audio signal (123, 173) associated with a conference participant within a 2D or 3D conference scene to be rendered to a listener (211) is described. An X-point conference scene with X different spatial talker locations (212) is set up within the conference scene, wherein the X talker locations (212) are positioned within a cone around a midline (215) in front of a head of the listener (211). A generatrix (216) of the cone and the midline (215) form an angle which is smaller than or equal to a pre-determined maximum cone angle. The upstream audio signal (123, 173) is assigned to one of the talker locations (212) and metadata identifying the assigned talker location (212) are generated, thus enabling a spatialized audio signal.

Abstract: In a method for adapting uplink signaling during multicasting, the user devices of a multicast group receive a multicast message from a network control unit via a radio channel (PMcCH) in a downlink connection. The radio channel is adapted with respect to its power by transmitting information in an uplink connection via a corresponding radio channel (UL-DPCCH). The radio channel (UL-DPCCH) is power-controlled via at least one associated common radio channel (DL-PMcCH) that is associated with one or more of the user devices by transmitting corresponding information in the downlink direction from the network control unit to the user devices. The information is then processed by the receiving user devices to adapt the power of the respective associated radio channels (UL-DPCCH) in the uplink direction.
