A method for radio communications in a packet-based communications system, comprising: in response to radio resource requests associated with specific user equipment, UEs, dynamically scheduling radio resources to permit communications between ones of the specific UEs and the packet-based communications system, where the scheduled communications associated with each of the UEs in the packet-based communications system are designed not to use the same radio resource at the same time; establishing an unsolicited grant of radio resources for communication between multiple UEs and the packet-based communications system, the method being characterized by: the communication between multiple UEs and the packet-based communications system using at least some of the same radio resources associated with the unsolicited grant at the same time; allocating a number of the multiple UEs in a same time slot as a function of interference, wherein the unsolicited grant comprises the time slot; processing each of the multiple UEs data to be transmitted to associate each of the multiple UEs data with a user-specific radio resource pattern such that one UEs radio resource pattern is useable by a radio receiver to extract that one UEs data from the multiple UEs data transmissions received using the same unsolicited grant of radio resources at the same time; and receiving the processed data transmitted from each of the multiple UEs using the same unsolicited grant of radio resources at the same time. in response to radio resource requests associated with specific user equipment, UEs, dynamically scheduling radio resources to permit communications between ones of the specific UEs and the packet-based communications system, where the scheduled communications associated with each of the UEs in the packet-based communications system are designed not to use the same radio resource at the same time; establishing an unsolicited grant of radio resources for communication between multiple UEs and the packet-based communications system, the method being characterized by: the communication between multiple UEs and the packet-based communications system using at least some of the same radio resources associated with the unsolicited grant at the same time; allocating a number of the multiple UEs in a same time slot as a function of interference, wherein the unsolicited grant comprises the time slot; processing each of the multiple UEs data to be transmitted to associate each of the multiple UEs data with a user-specific radio resource pattern such that one UEs radio resource pattern is useable by a radio receiver to extract that one UEs data from the multiple UEs data transmissions received using the same unsolicited grant of radio resources at the same time; and receiving the processed data transmitted from each of the multiple UEs using the same unsolicited grant of radio resources at the same time. establishing an unsolicited grant of radio resources for communication between multiple UEs and the packet-based communications system, the method being characterized by: the communication between multiple UEs and the packet-based communications system using at least some of the same radio resources associated with the unsolicited grant at the same time; allocating a number of the multiple UEs in a same time slot as a function of interference, wherein the unsolicited grant comprises the time slot; processing each of the multiple UEs data to be transmitted to associate each of the multiple UEs data with a user-specific radio resource pattern such that one UEs radio resource pattern is useable by a radio receiver to extract that one UEs data from the multiple UEs data transmissions received using the same unsolicited grant of radio resources at the same time; and receiving the processed data transmitted from each of the multiple UEs using the same unsolicited grant of radio resources at the same time. the communication between multiple UEs and the packet-based communications system using at least some of the same radio resources associated with the unsolicited grant at the same time; allocating a number of the multiple UEs in a same time slot as a function of interference, wherein the unsolicited grant comprises the time slot; processing each of the multiple UEs data to be transmitted to associate each of the multiple UEs data with a user-specific radio resource pattern such that one UEs radio resource pattern is useable by a radio receiver to extract that one UEs data from the multiple UEs data transmissions received using the same unsolicited grant of radio resources at the same time; and receiving the processed data transmitted from each of the multiple UEs using the same unsolicited grant of radio resources at the same time.
