Method for transmitting and receiving random access request and transmitting and receiving random access response
View Patent ↗A base station transmits a random access response in response to a random access request (random access preamble) of a user equipment. The random access response includes information about a time when the random access request is transmitted and sequence number information of the random access request (random access preamble). The user equipment checks whether the received random access response is the response of the random access request transmitted by the user equipment, using the information about the time when the random access request is transmitted and the sequence number information included in the received random access response.
1. A method for performing a random access by a user equipment, the method comprising: receiving the random access response from a base station within a time period; and extracting information associated with a subframe number of a subframe in which a random access preamble was transmitted by the user equipment, wherein the time period starts at a time point after an end time of transmitting the random access preamble, the time period being calculated based on a subframe number corresponding to the end time, and wherein a start subframe number of the time period corresponding to the time point is obtained by adding an offset to the subframe number corresponding to the end time, and the offset equals three.
2. A user equipment (UE) to perform a random access, the UE comprising: a receiver to receive the random access response from a base station within a time period; and a processor configured to extract information associated with a subframe number of a subframe in which a random access preamble was transmitted by the UE, wherein the time period starts at a time point after an end time of transmitting the random access preamble, the time period being calculated based on a subframe number corresponding to the end time, and wherein a start subframe number of the time period corresponding to the time point is obtained by the processor being configured to add an offset to the subframe number corresponding to the end time, and the offset equals three.
