Method and apparatus for performing random access procedure in wireless communication system
A method and apparatus for performing a random access procedure in a wireless communication system is provided. A user equipment (UE) determines one random access configuration from a first random access configuration for a normal type of UE and a second random access configuration for a specific type of UE, and transmits a random access preamble based on the second random access configuration to an eNodeB (eNB) if the UE is a specific type of UE. Also, a method and apparatus for establishing, by a UE, a connection in a wireless communication system is provided. The UE transmits a connection request message including bandwidth related information to the eNB.
1. A method for transmitting, by a user equipment (UE), information in a wireless communication system,
transmitting, by the UE, a random access preamble to an evolved NodeB (eNB);
receiving, by the UE, a random access response which is a response to the random access preamble from the eNB;
transmitting, by the UE, a message 3 indicating that the UE is a low-end UE to the eNB; and
transmitting, by the UE, a UE capability information indicating that the UE is the low-end UE to the eNB,
wherein the UE capability information indicating that the UE is the low-end UE is transferred to a mobility management entity (MME) by the eNB, and
wherein the MME uses the UE capability information to indicate to another eNB that the UE is the low-end UE.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the low-end UE is one of a low-cost UE, a machine type communication (MTC) device, or a low-cost MTC device.
3. A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:
a memory;
a radio frequency (RF) unit; and
a processor coupled to the memory and the RF unit, and configured to:
control the RF unit to transmit a random access preamble to an evolved NodeB (eNB);
control the RF unit to receive a random access response which is a response to the random access preamble from the eNB;
control the RF unit to transmit a message 3 indicating that the UE is a low-end UE to the eNB; and
control the RF unit to transmit a UE capability information indicating that the UE is the low-end UE to the eNB,
wherein the UE capability information indicating that the UE is the low-end UE is transferred to a mobility management entity (MME) by the eNB, and
wherein the MME uses the UE capability information to indicate to another eNB that the UE is the low-end UE.
4. The UE of claim 3 , wherein the low-end UE is one of a low-cost UE, a machine type communication (MTC) device, or a low-cost MTC device.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the low-end UE is a UE category 0.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the low-end UE supports a limited bandwidth only.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the message 3 is transmitted on an uplink shared channel (UL-SCH).
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the UL-SCH is mapped to a common control channel (CCCH).
9. The UE of claim 3 , wherein the low-end UE is a UE category 0.
10. The UE of claim 3 , wherein the low-end UE supports a limited bandwidth only.
11. The UE of claim 3 , wherein the message 3 is transmitted on an uplink shared channel (UL-SCH).
12. The UE of claim 11 , wherein the UL-SCH is mapped to a common control channel (CCCH).
