US 2018/0027595 A1 · METHODS AND DEVICES FOR RANDOM ACCESS

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method used in a user terminal for performing random access to a network, and to the associated user terminal. The method includes: transmitting a random access request to the network, the random access request containing a preamble; receiving two or more random access responses from the network, the two or more random access responses corresponding to the preamble; selecting one random access response from the received two or more random access responses; and using resource indicated by the selected random access response for accessing to the network. The present disclosure also relates to a method used in a network node for controlling random access of one or more user terminals to the network node, and to the associated network node.
