Fast access to a dedicated uplink (E-DCH) resource by using a previously used configuration

摘要

A user equipment (UE), a base station and methods for enabling providing fast access to a dedicated uplink (UL) resource between the base station and the UE for data transmissions, by using a UE identifier. The UE may receive configuration parameters of a set of common UL resources from the base station, transmit a random access request for a common UL resources of said set of common UL resources to said base station, obtain allocation of said common resource of said set from said base station, and transmit a UE identifier to said base station on said common resource wherein the UE identifier indicates a previously used set of configuration parameters for a dedicated resource.
