NETWORK NODE, USER EQUIPMENT AND METHODS THEREIN FOR RANDOM ACCESS HANDLING

摘要

A method in a User Equipment (150), UE, for handling random access procedure to a wireless communications network via a network node (140), the UE (150) being configured to support transmissions on a Control CHannel, CCH, on an enhanced Control CHannel, eCCH, or on both. The method comprises sending (S160) a random access preamble to the network node, and receiving (S162) a random access response from the network node on at least one of the CCH or the eCCH. The random access preamble comprising a UE indication indicating that the UE is configured to monitor transmissions on the CCH, on the eCCH or on both; A user equipment, a method in network node and a network node are also provided.
