Abstract
A user equipment (UE), a base station, and methods of identifying the UE are provided. The method of identifying the UE performed by the UE includes determining, by the UE from the base station, a configuration associated with the UE and performing, by the UE, a random access (RA) procedure using the configuration associated with the UE, wherein a UE type of the UE is identified in the RA procedure by the base station. This can solve issues in the prior art, reach early identification of the UE, realize coverage compensation, provide different schedules for different UE types, provide a good communication performance, and/or provide high reliability.
