Abstract

User equipment, UE, includes: a receiver configured to receive a parameter indicating whether the UE is restricted or authorized for transmission of user data in a message transmitted on Uplink Synchronization Channel, UL-SCH, from an access network node; and a hardware processor configured to process instructions to determine whether the transmission of the user data in the message is restricted or authorized based on the parameter.

Claims (45)

1. User equipment, UE, comprising:

one or more memories storing instructions; and

one or more processors configured to process the instructions to control the UE to:

receive, from an access network node, first information indicating whether the UE is allowed for transmission of user data in a message 3 and second information of a granted packet size for transmission of the user data in the message 3, and

transmit the user data in the message 3 to the access network node in a case where the first information indicates that the transmission of the user data in the message 3 is allowed and a packet size of the user data is smaller than the granted packet size.

2. The UE according to claim 1 , wherein:

the first information is broadcast from the access network node.

3. The UE according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to process the instructions to control the UE to:

cancel the transmission of the user data in the message 3 in a case where the packet size of the user data is larger than the granted packet size, and

transmit the user data using a message 5 or using a data transmission via User plane.

4. The UE according to claim 1 , wherein

the first information further indicates whether the UE is allowed Control plane related transmission.

5. The UE according to claim 1 , wherein

the first information further indicates whether the UE is allowed User plane related transmission.

6. The UE according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to process the instructions to control the UE to cancel the transmission of the user data in the message 3 in a case where the packet size of the user data is larger than the granted packet size.

7. The UE according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to process the instructions to control the UE to compare the packet size of the user data with the granted packet size.

8. An access network node comprising:

one or more memories storing instructions; and

one or more processors configured to process the instructions to control the access network node to:

transmit, to user equipment, UE, first information indicating whether the UE is allowed for transmission of user data in a message 3, and second information of a granted packet size for transmission of the user data in the message 3, and

receive the user data in the message 3 from the UE in a case where the first information indicates that the transmission of the user data in the message 3 is allowed and a packet size of the user data is smaller than the granted packet size.

9. The access network node according to claim 8 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to process the instructions to control the access network node to broadcast the first information.

10. The access network node according to claim 8 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to process the instructions to control the access network node to:

cancel transmission of the user data in the message 3 in a case where the packet size of the user data is larger than the granted packet size, and

receive the user data using a message 5 or using a data transmission via User plane.

11. The access network node according to claim 8 , wherein

the first information further indicates whether the UE is allowed Control plane related transmission.

12. The access network node according to claim 8 , wherein

the first information further indicates whether the UE is allowed User plane related transmission.

13. The access network node according to claim 8 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to process the instructions to control the access network node to cancel transmission of the user data in the message 3 from the UE to the access network node in a case where the packet size of the user data is larger than the granted packet size.

14. A method for user equipment, UE, comprising:

receiving, from an access network node, first information indicating whether the UE is allowed for transmission of user data in a message 3 and second information of a granted packet size for transmission of the user data in the message 3; and

transmitting the user data in the message 3 to the access network node in a case where the first information indicates that the transmission of the user data in the message 3 is allowed and a packet size of the user data is smaller than the granted packet size.

15. The method according to claim 14 , further comprising cancelling the transmission of the user data in the message 3 in a case where the packet size of the user data is larger than the granted packet size.

16. The method according to claim 14 , further comprising comparing the packet size of the user data with the granted packet size.

17. A method for an access network node, comprising

transmitting, to user equipment, UE, first information indicating whether the UE is allowed for transmission of user data in a message 3 and second information of a granted packet size for the transmission of the user data in the message 3; and

receiving the user data in the message 3 from the UE in a case where the first information indicates that the transmission of the user data in the message 3 is allowed and a packet size of the user data is smaller than the granted packet size.

18. The method according to claim 17 , further comprising cancelling transmission of the user data in the message 3 from the UE to the access network node in a case where the packet size of the user data is larger than the granted packet size.

19. A communication system comprising:

user equipment, UE; and

an access network node, wherein

the access network node is configured to transmit, to the UE, first information indicating whether the UE is allowed for transmission of user data in a message 3 and second information of a granted packet size for transmission of the user data in the message 3, and

the UE is configured to transmit the user data in the message 3 to the access network node in a case where the first information indicates that the transmission of the user data in the message 3 is allowed and a packet size of the user data is smaller than the granted packet size.

20. The communication system according to claim 19 , wherein the UE is configured to compare the packet size of the user data with the granted packet size.
