Radio resource allocation

摘要

A method of and apparatus for allocating radio resources to a UE according to the capability of the UE, wherein the radio resources to be allocated include a set of radio resources which are incompatible with a first type of UE and are compatible with at least a second type of UE, the method comprising: receiving a random access preamble from a UE; transmitting a first random access response assigning a first set of radio resources compatible with the first type of UE, and a second random access response assigning a second set of radio resources incompatible with the first type of UE; wherein the first random access response is scheduled differently in time and/or frequency to the second access response; receiving a connection request message from the UE; wherein, if the connection request message is received on the first set of radio resources it is determined that the UE is a UE of the first type; and wherein if the connection request message is received on the second set of radio resources, it is determined that the UE is not of the first type.

1. A method of allocating radio resources to a terminal according to a capability of the terminal, wherein the radio resources to be allocated include a set of radio resources which are incompatible with a first type of terminal and are compatible with at least a second type of terminal, the method performed by a base station comprising:
receiving, at a base station, a random access preamble from the terminal; transmitting a first random access response assigning a first set of radio resources compatible with the first type of terminal, and a second random access response assigning a second set of radio resources incompatible with the first type of terminal, wherein the first random access response is scheduled differently at least in time or frequency to the second random access response; receiving a connection request message from the terminal, wherein, if the connection request message is received on the first set of radio resources, the terminal is the first type of terminal; wherein if the connection request message is received on the second set of radio resources, the terminal is the second type of terminal, wherein the first set of radio resources are located on a same component carrier as the second set of radio resources, and wherein the radio resources to be allocated extend over a bandwidth B having a portion of bandwidth B0, where B0
