Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method and a device for transmitting a random access preamble (hereinafter, message 1); receiving a random access response (hereinafter, message 2) including a first uplink grant and a second uplink grant, as a response to the message 1; performing an initial transmission of a message 3 using the first uplink grant; starting a timer at a time when the initial transmission of a message 3 is performed; and performing a retransmission of the message 3 using the second uplink grant when the timer expires.

Claims (26)

1. A method for a user equipment to perform a random access procedure in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting a random access preamble (hereinafter, message 1);

receiving a random access response (hereinafter, message 2) including a first uplink grant and a second uplink grant, as a response to the message 1;

performing an initial transmission of a message 3 using the first uplink grant;

starting a timer at a time when the initial transmission of a message 3 is performed; and

performing a retransmission of the message 3 using the second uplink grant when the timer expires.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the timer stops when a response (hereinafter, message 4) to the message 3 is successfully received.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the timer is a contention resolution timer.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first uplink grant is different from the second uplink grant.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second message includes information indicating a maximum retransmission number.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the timer is re-started at a time when the first retransmission of the message 3 is performed.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the message 3 is no longer retransmitted when a number of retransmissions of the message 3 reaches the maximum retransmission number, even though the time expires.

8. A User Equipment (UE) for 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:

transmit a random access preamble (hereinafter, message 1),

receive a random access response (hereinafter, message 2) including a first uplink grant and a second uplink grant, as a response to the message 1,

perform an initial transmission of a message 3 using the first uplink grant,

start a timer at a time when the initial transmission of a message 3 is performed, and

perform a retransmission of the message 3 using the second uplink grant when the timer expires.

9. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the timer stops when a response (hereinafter, message 4) to the message 3 is successfully received.

10. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the timer is a contention resolution timer.

11. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the first uplink grant is different from the second uplink grant.

12. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the second message includes information indicating a maximum retransmission number.

13. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the timer is re-started at a time when the first retransmission of the message 3 is performed.

14. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the message 3 is no longer retransmitted when a number of retransmissions of the message 3 reaches the maximum retransmission number, even though the time expires.
