The invention relates to a method of allocating radio resources and a telecommunication system including a base station and user equipment. The base station includes a beam forming device configured to form at least two primary beams for signal reception. The antenna array and the beam forming device of the base station are configured to receive a signal transmitted by the user equipment using at least two primary beams, thus providing primary beam-specific signals as output. The base station includes a processing device for determining at least two secondary beam-specific variables associated with two secondary beams using the primary beam-specific signals as input and a transformation between the primary antenna beams and the secondary antenna beams. The telecommunication system further includes an allocation device for allocating radio resources to the user equipment based on the secondary beam-specific variables.
