Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods, terminal devices, network nodes and apparatus for random access process in a wireless network. The method at the terminal device may comprise: receiving additional information related to a terminal device together with a random access preamble. With embodiments of the present disclosure, the additional information related to a terminal device can be transmitted to the network node together with a random access preamble; in such a case, further useful information is available for the eNB, which might substantially facilitate the random access process for either initial access or non-initial access.
Claims17
A method performed by a terminal device, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a network device, a configuration information for performing a random access procedure,
- wherein the configuration information comprises an indication related with a number of symbols for transmitting an uplink information;
- and
- transmitting a random access preamble and the uplink information based on the configuration information,
- wherein the random access preamble is transmitted in a physical random access channel and the uplink information is transmitted in a physical uplink channel, and
- wherein the uplink information comprises a cell radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI) and is transmitted after the random access preamble.
A method comprising:
- transmitting, from a network device, a configuration information for performing a random access procedure,
- wherein the configuration information comprises an indication related with a number of symbols for transmitting an uplink information;
- and
- receiving a random access preamble and the uplink information based on the configuration information,
- wherein the random access preamble is received in a physical random access channel and the uplink information is received in a physical uplink channel
- wherein the uplink information comprises a cell radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI) and is received after the random access preamble.
