Abstract
A radio terminal (1) performs a first random access using a random access resource associated with a feature combination. If the first random access fails, the radio terminal (1) falls back to a second random access using a random access resource associated with a feature subset included in the feature combination. This helps, for example, to provide a fallback in the event of a failed random access procedure using a random access resource associated with a feature combination.

1-15. (canceled)
A radio terminal comprising:
- at least one memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the at least one memory and configured to:
- perform a random access using a random access resource selected from a set of random access resources associated with a feature or a feature combination;
- include information about the feature or the feature combination in a random access report regarding the random access;
- store the random access report;
- and
- transmit the random access report to a network, wherein
- the feature is Reduced Capability (RedCap), Small Data Transmission (SDT), Coverage Enhancement (CovEnh), or Slicing, and
- the feature combination includes at least two of RedCap, SDT, CovEnh, or Slicing.
A method performed by a radio terminal, the method comprising:
- performing a random access using a random access resource selected from a set of random access resources associated with a feature or a feature combination;
- including information about the feature or the feature combination in a random access report regarding the random access;
- storing the random access report;
- and
- transmitting the random access report to a network, wherein
- the feature is Reduced Capability (RedCap), Small Data Transmission (SDT), Coverage Enhancement (CovEnh), or Slicing, and
- the feature combination includes at least two of RedCap, SDT, CovEnh, or Slicing.
(canceled)
A method performed by a radio access network node, the method comprising:
- receiving a random access report from a radio terminal, wherein
- the random access report relates to a random access using a random access resource selected from a set of random access resources associated with a feature or a feature combination,
- the random access report contains information about the feature or the feature combination,
- the feature is Reduced Capability (RedCap), Small Data Transmission (SDT), Coverage Enhancement (CovEnh), or Slicing, and
- the feature combination includes at least two of RedCap, SDT, CovEnh, or Slicing.
