1. A device, comprising:

  • a wireless interface configured to transmit data on a radio interface of a cellular network,at least one processor configured to receive, via the wireless interface, at least one control message, said at least one control message indicating a first reoccurring resource associated with a first set of communication devices and a second reoccurring resource associated with a second set of communication devices and further indicating set classification information for the first set and the second set,wherein the set classification information parameterizes assignment of communication devices to the first set and the second set,wherein the at least one processor is further configured to select between the first reoccurring resources and the second reoccurring resources based on the set classification information,wherein the set classification information parameterizes a coverage level of communication devices assigned to the first set and/or the second set,wherein the received at least one control message is a series of control messages, each indicating a first reoccurring resource associated with the first set of communication devices, a second reoccurring resource associated with the second set of communication devices, and set classification information for the first set and the second set;

    wherein the at least one processor further configured to determine that the set classification information is revised between two successive control messages to dynamically change association of communication devices with the first and second sets of communication devices according to the parameterized coverage level; and

    wherein the selection between the first reoccurring resources and the second reoccurring resources is based on the revised set classification information and a current value of the device for the coverage level.
