Arrangement for low latency network access

A wireless terminal, comprising:

• a wireless transceiver coupled to an antenna arrangement for communication of radio signals with a wireless network, which wireless network is configured to transmit a plurality of synchronization signals in a period of a beam sweep;
• and
• logic configured to control the wireless transceiver to:
• obtain information of dedicated resources of an access node of the wireless network, which dedicated resources are allocated for omni-directional low latency access and are continuously allocated in said period;
• and
• transmit, to the access node, a first message in said dedicated resources.

An access node of a wireless network, comprising:

• a wireless transceiver coupled to an antenna arrangement for communication of radio signals in a plurality of beams;
• logic configured to control the wireless transceiver to:
• transmit a plurality of synchronization signals in a period of a beam sweep, in which each of said synchronization signals identifies a beam-specific resource to be used when responding to the beam sweep;
• monitor dedicated resources allocated for omni-directional reception of a low latency message from a wireless terminal;
• control the wireless transceiver to receive a first message from the wireless terminal in said dedicated resources;
• and
• commence a new beam sweep responsive to receiving the first message.
