Abstract

A method of performing a random access in a mobile communication system and an apparatus for the same are disclosed. The method of performing a random access includes transmitting a random access preamble to a network node and receiving a random access response from the network node, wherein the random access response is received through a first subframe if the random access preamble is a dedicated preamble, and the random access response is received through a second subframe which is different from the first subframe if the random access preamble is a non-dedicated preamble.

Claims (38)

1. A method of performing a random access at a relay node in a mobile communication system, the method comprising:

a) transmitting a random access preamble in a specific subframe to a base station;

b) if the random access preamble is a dedicated preamble, monitoring a Relay-Physical Downlink Control Channel (R-PDCCH) in a data region of a Multicast Broadcast over a Single Frequency Network (MBSFN) subframe, and receiving a random access response included in a Relay-Physical Downlink Shared Channel (R-PDSCH) in the data region of the MBSFN subframe based on the R-PDCCH from the base station; and

c) if the random access preamble is a non-dedicated preamble, monitoring a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) in a control region of a non-Multicast Broadcast over a Single Frequency Network (non-MBSFN) subframe, and receiving the random access response included in a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) in the data region of the non-MBSFN subframe based on the PDCCH from the base station,

wherein the MBSFN subframe and the non-MBSFN subframe are located within a predetermined window after the specific subframe, and

wherein the starting subframe of the predetermined window for the MBSFN subframe is different from the starting subframe of the predetermined window for the non-MBSFN subframe.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the dedicated preamble is allocated by a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) order.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein, if the random access preamble is the dedicated preamble, the monitoring includes monitoring a Random Access-Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RA-RNTI) through the R-PDCCH.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the MBSFN subframe is a backhaul subframe.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting an uplink message to the base station after receiving the random access response; and

receiving a contention resolution message from the base station,

wherein the uplink message includes a relay node identifier.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

stopping transmission to a user equipment (UE) during receiving the random access response if the random access preamble is the dedicated preamble.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the relay node identifier being received through the Relay-Physical Downlink Control Channel (R-PDCCH) is used for a contention resolution if the random access preamble is the dedicated preamble.

8. A method of performing random access at a base station in a mobile communication system, the method comprising:

a) receiving a random access preamble in a specific subframe from a relay node;

b) if the random access preamble is a dedicated preamble, transmitting a Relay-Physical Downlink Control Channel (R-PDCCH) through a data region of a Multicast Broadcast over a Single Frequency Network (MBSFN) subframe to the relay node, and transmitting a Relay-Physical Downlink Shared Channel (R-PDSCH) including a random access response through the data region of the MBSFN subframe to the relay node, wherein the R-PDCCH indicates the R-PDSCH; and

c) if the random access preamble is a non-dedicated preamble, transmitting a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) through a control region of a non-Multicast Broadcast over a Single Frequency Network (non-MBSFN) subframe to the relay node, and transmitting a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) including the random access response in the data region of the non-MBSFN subframe to the relay node, wherein the PDCCH indicates the PDSCH,

wherein the MBSFN subframe and the non-MBSFN subframe are located within a predetermined window after the specific subframe, and

wherein the starting subframe of the predetermined window for the MBSFN subframe is different from the starting subframe of the predetermined window for the non-MBSFN subframe.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the dedicated preamble is allocated by a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) order.

10. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

transmitting a Random Access-Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RA-RNTI) through the Relay-Physical Downlink Control Channel (R-PDCCH) if the random access preamble is the dedicated preamble.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the MBSFN subframe is a backhaul subframe.

12. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

receiving an uplink message from the relay node after transmitting the random access response; and

transmitting a contention resolution message to the relay node,

wherein the uplink message includes a relay node identifier.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the relay node identifier being transmitted through the Relay-Physical Downlink Control Channel (R-PDCCH) is used for a contention resolution if the random access preamble is the dedicated preamble.

14. A device configured to perform a random access at a relay node in a mobile communication system, the device comprising:

a transmitter configured to transmit a random access preamble in a specific subframe to a base station; and

a receiver configured to:

a) monitor a Relay-Physical Downlink Control Channel (R-PDCCH) in a data region of a Single Frequency Network (MBSFN) subframe and receive a random access response included in a Relay-Physical Downlink Shared Channel (R-PDSCH) in the data region of the MBSFN subframe based on the R-PDCCH from the base station if the random access preamble is a dedicated preamble, and

b) monitor a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) in a control region of a non-Multicast Broadcast over a Single Frequency Network (non-MBSFN) subframe and receive the random access response included in a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDCCH) in the data region of the non-MBSFN subframe based on the PDCCH from the base station,

wherein the MBSFN subframe and the non-MBSFN subframe are located within a predetermined window after the specific subframe, and

wherein the starting subframe of the predetermined window for the MBSFN subframe is different from the starting subframe of the predetermined window for the non-MBSFN subframe.
