The invention relates to a method for joint
processing of uplink data (g(n), s(n)) transmitted from at least one
user equipment (UE1, UE2) to a plurality of coordinated reception points (BSA, BSB) of a
wireless communication
system (1), the method comprising: estimating and preferably compensating for individual propagation delays of the uplink data (g(n), s(n)) transmitted from one of the user equipments (UE1, UE2) to the coordinated reception points (BSA, BSB), and compensating a timing difference between a
propagation delay of a coordinated reception point (BSA, BSB) which serves the
user equipment (UE1, UE2) and at least one
propagation delay of at least one coordinated reception point (BSB, BSA) which does not serve the
user equipment (UE1, UE2) for performing the joint
processing of the uplink data (g(n), s(n)), wherein the step of compensating the timing difference comprises modifying a channel matrix (H) associated with uplink channels from the at least one user equipment (UE1, UE2) to the coordinated reception points (BSA, BSB). The invention also relates to a
processing arrangement (BSA, BSB, 2) adapted for performing the method.
