Abstract
An apparatus comprising circuitry configured to perform a Random Access procedure that is based on one or more access control parameters that are specific for a predefined coverage level.
Claims21
An apparatus, comprising:
- circuitry configured to
- perform a Random Access procedure that is based on one or more access control parameters that are specific for a predefined coverage level,
- perform a coverage level reselection process,
- perform an access barring check for a specific coverage level within the coverage level reselection process, and
- in response to the access barring check for the specific coverage level being unsuccessful, wait for the barring timer for this coverage level to expire.

An apparatus, comprising:
- circuitry configured to broadcast access control parameters to a user equipment that are specific for a predefined coverage level, wherein a Random Access procedure is performed at the user equipment based on the broadcast access control parameters, and in response to no Random Access response being transmitted to the user equipment within a Random Access Response window, the user equipment performs an access barring check for a specific coverage level within a coverage level reselection process, wherein in response to the access barring check for the specific coverage level being unsuccessful, the user equipment waits for the barring timer for this coverage level to expire.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer-readable instructions thereon which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a method, the method comprising:
- performing a Random Access procedure that is based on one or more access control parameters that are specific for a predefined coverage level;
- performing a coverage level reselection process;
- performing an access barring check for a specific coverage level within the coverage level reselection process;
- and
- in response to the access barring check for the specific coverage level being unsuccessful, waiting for the barring timer for this coverage level to expire.
