Method for transmitting response information in mobile communications system
A method for a user equipment (UE) to perform a random access to a network includes transmitting a random access preamble to the network; receiving control information via a downlink control channel from the network, wherein the control information includes downlink resource location information for a downlink shared channel and information for decoding the downlink shared channel; receiving a response to the random access preamble via the downlink shared channel from the network corresponding the control information, wherein the response has a variable size; and decoding the response based on the information for decoding the downlink shared channel.
1. A method for a user equipment (UE) to perform a random access to a network, the method comprising:
transmitting a random access preamble to the network;
receiving control information via a downlink control channel from the network, wherein the control information comprises downlink resource location information for a downlink shared channel and information for decoding the downlink shared channel;
receiving a response to the random access preamble via the downlink shared channel from the network corresponding the control information; and
decoding the response based on the information for decoding the downlink shared channel.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the response comprises one or more random access responses.
3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:
processing a specific random access response, when the specific random access response among the random access responses corresponds to the transmitted random access preamble.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the specific random access response comprises an identifier of the UE, a variable for synchronization and uplink resource allocation information.
5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:
transmitting uplink data to the network based on the uplink resource allocation information when the response is decoded.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UE comprises a physical layer and a MAC (Medium Access Control) layer, and
wherein the physical layer of the UE transmits the random access preamble to the network upon receiving an instruction from the MAC layer.
7. A user equipment (UE) performing a random access to a network, the UE comprising:
a transmitter configured to transmit a random access preamble to the network;
a receiver configured to receive control information via a downlink control channel from the network, wherein the control information comprises downlink resource location information for a downlink shared channel and information for decoding the downlink shared channel, and to receive a response to the random access preamble via the downlink shared channel from the network corresponding to the control information; and
a decoder configured to decode the response based on the information for decoding the downlink shared channel.
8. The UE of claim 7 , wherein the response comprises one or more random access responses.
9. The UE of claim 8 , further comprising:
a processor configured to process a specific random access response, when the specific random access response among the random access responses corresponds to the transmitted random access preamble.
10. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the specific random access response comprises an identifier of the UE, a variable for synchronization and uplink resource allocation information.
11. The UE of claim 10 , wherein the transmitter is further configured to transmit uplink data to the network based on the uplink resource allocation information when the response is decoded.
12. The UE of claim 7 , wherein the UE comprises a physical layer and a MAC (Medium Access Control) layer, and
wherein the physical layer of the UE transmits the random access preamble to the network upon receiving an instruction from the MAC layer.
13. A method for a network to control a random access of a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
receiving a random access preamble from the UE;
transmitting control information via a downlink control channel to the UE, wherein the control information comprises downlink resource location information for a downlink shared channel and information for decoding the downlink shared channel; and
transmitting a response to the random access preamble via the downlink shared channel to the UE,
wherein the response corresponds to the information for decoding the downlink shared channel.
14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the response comprises one or more random access responses.
15. The method of claim 14 , wherein each of the random access responses comprises an identifier of the UE, a variable for synchronization and uplink resource allocation information.
16. A network for controlling a random access of a user equipment (UE), the network comprising:
a receiver configured to receive a random access preamble from the UE; and
a transmitter configured to transmit control information via a downlink control channel to the UE, wherein the control information comprises downlink resource location information for a downlink shared channel and information for decoding the downlink shared channel, and to transmit a response to the random access preamble via the downlink shared channel to the UE,
wherein the response corresponds to the information for decoding the downlink shared channel.
17. The network of claim 16 , wherein the response comprises one or more random access responses.
