Abstract

A method for transmitting data to a base station (BS) at a user equipment (UE) is discussed. The method includes receiving information regarding a contention-based Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) zone including a plurality of contention-based PUSCH resource blocks, allocating at least one contention-based PUSCH resource block for transmission of the data based on the contention-based PUSCH zone information, and transmitting the data to the BS, wherein, when the UE determines to transmit the data using the contention-based PUSCH zone, the information regarding the contention-based PUSCH zone is received through a unicast message.

Claims (24)

1. A method for transmitting data to a base station (BS) at a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

configuring a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) configuration related to a physical random access channel (PRACH),

wherein the PUSCH configuration includes parameters for a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) of the PUSCH, a number of physical resource blocks (PRBs) per PUSCH zone, a time interval for allocating PUSCH zones, and a number of contiguous PUSCH zones in time domain; and

transmitting a random access preamble on the PRACH and uplink (UL) data on the PUSCH.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the PUSCH configuration further includes an initial transmission power reference for the PUSCH.

3. The method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the PUSCH zone for transmission of the UL data is allocated to a subframe in which the random access preamble is transmitted.

4. The method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the PUSCH zone for transmission of the UL data is allocated to a subframe contiguous to a subframe in which the random access preamble is transmitted.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the UL data includes a Radio Resource Control (RRC) message.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the UL data is transmitted to the BS without reception of an uplink (UL) grant needed for transmission of the UL data.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the PRACH is allocated in every subframe.

8. A user equipment (UE) operating in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a Radio Frequency (RF) module; and

a processor operably coupled with the RF module and configured to:

configure a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) configuration related to a physical random access channel (PRACH),

wherein the PUSCH configuration includes parameters for a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) of the PUSCH, a number of physical resource blocks (PRBs) per PUSCH zone, a time interval for allocating PUSCH zones, and a number of contiguous PUSCH zones in time domain; and

control the RF module to transmit a random access preamble on the PRACH and uplink (UL) data on the PUSCH.

9. The UE according to claim 8 , wherein the PUSCH configuration further includes an initial transmission power reference for the PUSCH.

10. The UE according to claim 8 , wherein the PUSCH zone for transmission of the UL data is allocated to a subframe in which the random access preamble is transmitted.

11. The UE according to claim 8 , wherein the PUSCH zone for transmission of the UL data is allocated to a subframe contiguous to a subframe in which the random access preamble is transmitted.

12. The UE according to claim 8 , wherein the UL data includes a Radio Resource Control (RRC) message.

13. The UE according to claim 8 , wherein the UL data is transmitted to a base station (BS) without reception of an uplink (UL) grant needed for transmission of the UL data.

14. The UE according to claim 8 , wherein the PRACH is allocated in every subframe.
