Abstract

Provided are a method for allocating a temporary radio network temporary identifier to a terminal within a random access procedure in a wireless communication system, and an apparatus supporting the same. The method for allocating a temporary radio network temporary identifier (T-RNTI) to a user equipment (UE) within a random access procedure in a wireless communication system, includes transmitting, by the UE, a random access preamble to a base station (BS), transmitting, by the UE, a radio resource control (RRC) request message to the BS through a contention-based physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) resource block in which uplink data can be transmitted without uplink resource allocation scheduling, and receiving, by the UE, an RRC connection setup message identified by a T-RNTI allocated to the UE in response to the RRC request message, wherein the T-RNTI is allocated on the basis of the contention-based PUSCH resource block in which the RRC request message has been transmitted.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method for allocating a temporary radio network temporary identifier (T-RNTI) to a user equipment (UE) within a random access procedure in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
transmitting, by the UE, a random access preamble to a base station (BS);
transmitting, by the UE, a radio resource control (RRC) request message to the BS on a contention-based physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) resource block without receiving a random access response in response to the random access preamble, wherein uplink data on the contention-based PUSCH resource block can be transmitted without uplink resource allocation scheduling; and
receiving, by the UE, an RRC connection setup message identified by a T-RNTI allocated to the UE in response to the RRC request message,
wherein the T-RNTI is allocated based on the contention-based PUSCH resource block on which the UE transmitted the RRC request message to the BS.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the contention-based PUSCH resource block on which the UE transmitted the RRC request message to the BS is selected from among a plurality of candidate contention-based PUSCH resource blocks available to be used by the UE in order to transmit the RRC request message.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the T-RNTI is mapped to the plurality of candidate contention-based PUSCH resource blocks in a one-to-one manner.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein information regarding mapping between the T-RNTI and the plurality of candidate contention-based PUSCH resource blocks are received from the BS on a master information block (MIB) or a system information block (SIB).

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the T-RNTI is allocated based on a random value selected by the UE and the contention-based PUSCH resource block on which the UE transmitted the RRC request message to the BS.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the random value is selected from a random set value as a set of random value available to be used by the UE, and information regarding the random set value is received from the BS through a master information block (MIB) and a system information block (SIB).

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the RRC request message includes the selected random value.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the T-RNTI is allocated based on a random access-RNTI (RA-RNTI) allocated to the UE and the contention-based PUSCH resource block on which UE transmitted the RRC request message to the BS.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the RRC request message is transmitted in the same subframe in which the random access preamble has been transmitted, or in a next subframe.

10. A user equipment (UE) to which a temporary radio network temporary identifier (T-RNTI) is allocated within a random access procedure in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:
a radio frequency (RF) unit; and
a processor configured to transmit and receive a radio signal,
wherein the processor is further configured to:
control the RF unit to transmit a random access preamble to a base station (BS),
control the RF unit to transmit a radio resource control (RRC) request message to the BS on a contention-based physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) resource block without receiving a random access response in response to the random access preamble, wherein uplink data on the contention-based PUSCH resource block can be transmitted without uplink resource allocation scheduling, and
control the RF unit to receive an RRC connection setup message identified by a T-RNTI allocated to the UE in response to the RRC request message,
wherein the T-RNTI is allocated based on the contention-based PUSCH resource block on which the RF unit transmitted the RRC request message to the BS.
