In an embodiment of the invention, there is proposed a method of and apparatus for accessing in a user equipment, the method including the steps of: i) performing a random access on a predetermined resource according to a channel condition of the user equipment, wherein the predetermined resource is associated with the channel condition of the user equipment; and ii) receiving, on a PDCCH, a response to the random access from an eNB. With this solution, during a random access of a user equipment, particularly a MTC device, an eNB can perform a Random Access Response (RAR) adaptively using a different number of Control Channel Elements (CCEs) according to an indication, capable of reflecting a channel condition, e.g., a signal to noise ratio, of the user equipment, thereby saving the channel resource.
A method of accessing, in a user equipment, the method comprising:
A method, in an eNB, of responding to an access of a user equipment, the method comprising:
An apparatus for accessing, in a user equipment, the apparatus comprising:
An apparatus, in an eNB, for responding to an access of a user equipment, the apparatus comprising:
