Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for performing a random access, more specially, to a method for a terminal performing a random access in a wireless communication system, and comprises a step of transmitting to a base station a random access preamble selected from either a first random access preamble group or a second random access preamble group, wherein the first and second random access preamble groups are discriminated depending one packet type to be transmitted by the terminal.

Claims (40)

1. A method of performing a random access by a user equipment in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting a random access preamble selected from either a first random access preamble group or a second random access preamble group to a base station,

wherein each of the first random access preamble group and the second random access preamble group is discriminated depending on a packet type to be transmitted by the user equipment,

wherein the first random access preamble group is associated with a first radio bearer for transmitting an instant message packet, and

wherein the second random access preamble group is associated with a second radio bearer for transmitting a packet other than the instant message packet.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving information on associated relationship among the first random access preamble group, the second random access preamble group, a radio bearer and the packet type from the base station.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

selecting a random access preamble group for selecting the random access preamble depending on the packet type to be transmitted by the user equipment.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein

if a RLC (radio link control) layer buffer and a PDCP (packet data convergence protocol) layer buffer are empty and a packet associated with the radio bearer to be transmitted by the user equipment is identified , or

if a priority of the radio bearer associated with the packet to be transmitted by the user equipment is higher than that of a radio bearer for a packet in the RLC layer buffer and the PDCP layer buffer,

the user equipment starts to perform the random access.

5. A method of performing a random access by a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving a random access preamble from a user equipment,

wherein the random access preamble corresponds to either a first random access preamble group or a second random access preamble group,

wherein each of the first random access preamble group and the second random access preamble group is discriminated depending on a packet type to be transmitted by the user equipment,

wherein the first random access preamble group is associated with a first radio bearer for transmitting an instant message packet, and

wherein the second random access preamble group is associated with a second radio bearer for transmitting a packet other than the instant message packet.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

transmitting information on associated relationship among the first random access preamble group, the second random access preamble group, a radio bearer and the packet type to the user equipment.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein a random access preamble group for selecting the random access preamble is selected depending on the packet type to be transmitted by the user equipment.

8. The method of claim 5 , wherein if a RLC (radio link control) layer buffer and a PDCP (packet data convergence protocol) layer buffer are empty and a packet associated with the radio bearer to be transmitted by the user equipment is identified, or

if a priority of the radio bearer associated with the packet to be transmitted by the user equipment is higher than that of a radio bearer for a packet in the RLC layer buffer and the PDCP layer buffer,

the random access preamble is received.

9. A user equipment in a wireless communication system, comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor coupled to the transceiver and configured to:

transmit a random access preamble selected from either a first random access preamble group or a second random access preamble group to a base station,

wherein each of the first random access preamble group and the second random access preamble group is discriminated depending on a packet type to be transmitted by the user equipment,

wherein the first random access preamble group is associated with a first radio bearer for transmitting an instant message packet, and

wherein the second random access preamble group is associated with a second radio bearer for transmitting a packet other than the instant message packet.

10. A base station in a wireless communication system, comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor operatively connected to the transceiver and configured to:

receiver a random access preamble from a user equipment,

wherein the random access preamble corresponds to either a first random access preamble group or a second random access preamble group,

wherein each of the first random access preamble group and the second random access preamble group is discriminated depending on a packet type to be transmitted by the user equipment,

wherein the first random access preamble group is associated with a first radio bearer for transmitting an instant message packet, and

wherein the second random access preamble group is associated with a second radio bearer for transmitting a packet other than the instant message packet.
