It is presented methods and apparatuses for content distribution in a telecommunication system. Exemplary embodiments disclosed herein relate to a method performed in a device (6) for distributing content to a user equipment (4) and a method performed in the user equipment (4) for receiving the content from the device (6) , a method in a network node (2) for assigning resources and a network node (2). The device (6) is configured to send sub- cell broadcasts for distributing the content within a sub- cell , the sub -cell being a subset of a coverage area of the network node (2) to which the user equipment (4) is attached. The device (6) registers with the network node (2), informs the network node (2) of sub -cell broadcast capability , requests allocation of resources and distributes content to the user equipment (4). The network node (2) ,sends system information comprising information about available devices (6) within the coverage area of the network node (2) , the type of content that is associated with each device (6) and the transmission resources allocated to each device (6). The user equipment (4) receives the system information and selects the type of content to receive and at least one associated device (6), to which a direct link is established using the allocated transmission resources , and then the selected type of content is received directly from the selected at least one device (6). |
