Abstract
There is provided mechanisms for random access. A method is performed by a wireless device. The method comprises transmitting a random access preamble to a network node. The method comprises determining a valid starting subframe of a random access response window for monitoring a common search space for a random access response from the network node. Starting time of the random access response window is adapted such that it starts with the valid subframe. The method comprises monitoring the common search space for the random access response only during the random access response window.
Claims21
A method for random access, the method being performed by a wireless device, the method comprising:
- transmitting a random access preamble to a network node;
- determining a valid starting subframe of a random access response window for monitoring a common search space for a random access response from the network node, wherein starting time of the random access response window is adapted such that it starts with the valid subframe;
- and
- monitoring the common search space for the random access response only during the random access response window.
(canceled)
A wireless device for random access, the wireless device comprising:
- processing circuitry;
- and
- a computer program product storing instructions that, when executed by the processing circuitry, causes the wireless device to:
- transmit a random access preamble to a network node;
- determine a valid starting subframe of a random access response window for monitoring a common search space for a random access response from the network node, wherein starting time of the random access response window is adapted such that it starts with the valid subframe;
- and
- monitor the common search space for the random access response only during the random access response window.
(canceled)
A computer program for random access, the computer program comprising computer code which, when run on processing circuitry of a wireless device, causes the wireless device to:
- transmit a random access preamble to a network node;
- determine a valid starting subframe of a random access response window for monitoring a common search space for a random access response from the network node, wherein starting time of the random access response window is adapted such that it starts with the valid subframe;
- and
- monitor the common search space for the random access response only during the random access response window.
