Wireless device and wireless network processes for access control
A wireless device receives, from a base station, one or more broadcast messages comprising system information. The system information may indicate that a first type of wireless device is barred from accessing or camping on a first cell. The wireless device may determine, based on the system information and based on the wireless device not being of the first type, that the wireless device is not barred from accessing or camping on the first cell. The wireless device may transmit, to the base station, a random access preamble for accessing or camping on the first cell.
1. A method comprising:
receiving, by a wireless device from a base station, one or more broadcast messages comprising system information indicating that a wireless device of a reduced capability type is barred from accessing or camping on a first cell;
wherein the reduced capability type is associated with reduced capabilities compared to a non-reduced capability type;
determining, based on the system information and based on the wireless device not being of the reduced capability type, that the wireless device is not barred from accessing or camping on the first cell; and
initiating a random access process on the first cell for accessing or camping on the first cell wherein the random access process comprises transmitting a message that indicates whether the wireless device is of the reduced capability type.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the reduced capabilities comprise one or more of:
a reduced bandwidth;
a reduced number of antennas;
a half-duplex operation;
a relaxed processing time; and
a relaxed processing capability.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more broadcast messages comprise at least one of a master information block and a system information block.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the message is for transmission of a random access preamble.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining random access resources based on the system information, wherein the initiating the random access process preamble is based on via a first random access resource of the random access resources.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the system information comprises random access configuration parameters indicating the random access resources.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the system information comprises a parameter with a first value, the first value of the parameter indicating that a wireless device of the reduced capability type is barred from accessing or camping on a first cell.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein a second value of the parameter indicates that a wireless device of the reduced capability type is not barred from accessing or camping on the first cell.
9. The method of claim 7 , wherein a third value of the parameter indicates that a wireless device is barred from accessing or camping on the first cell irrespective of a wireless device type.
10. A method comprising:
receiving, by a wireless device, one or more broadcast messages comprising system information indicating that a wireless device of a reduced capability type:
is barred from accessing or camping on a first cell; and
is not barred from accessing or camping on a second cell;
wherein the reduced capability type is associated with reduced capabilities compared to a non-reduced capability type;
determining, based on the system information and based on the wireless device being of the reduced capability type:
not to access or camp on the first cell; and
to access or camp on the second cell; and
initiating a random access process on the second cell for accessing or camping on the second cell, wherein the random access process comprises transmitting a message indicating that the wireless device is of the reduced capability type.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the reduced capabilities comprise one or more of:
a reduced bandwidth;
a reduced number of antennas;
a half-duplex operation;
a relaxed processing time; and
a relaxed processing capability.
12. The method of claim 10 , wherein the one or more broadcast messages comprise at least one of a master information block and a system information block.
13. The method of claim 10 , wherein the message is for transmission of a random access preamble.
14. The method of claim 10 , further comprising determining random access resources based on the system information, wherein the initiating the random access process is based on a first random access resource of the random access resources.
15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the system information comprises random access configuration parameters indicating the random access resources.
16. The method of claim 10 , wherein the system information comprises a parameter with a first value, the first value of the parameter indicating that a wireless device of the reduced capability type is barred from accessing or camping on a first cell.
17. The method of claim 16 , wherein a second value of the parameter indicates that a wireless device of the reduced capability type is not barred from accessing or camping on the first cell.
18. The method of claim 16 , wherein a third value of the parameter indicates that a wireless device is barred from accessing or camping on the first cell irrespective of a wireless device type.
19. The method of claim 10 , wherein the first cell and the second cell are provided by a first base station.
20. The method of claim 10 , wherein:
the first cell is provided by a first base station; and
the second cell is provided by a second base station.
