METHOD, APPARATUS AND COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR PRIORITIZING INFORMATION IN UPLINK MESSAGE

摘要

In a specific example, a network/base station broadcasts (302) an indication to direct a user equipment how to prioritize information for inclusion in an uplink message to be sent on a random access channel RACH. By example (304), one value of the indication directs a user equipment UE to prioritize inter- frequency over intra- frequency neighbour cell measurements for inclusion in the uplink message; and another value (or absence) of the indication directs a UE to prioritize intra- frequency over inter-frequency neighbour cell measurements for inclusion in the uplink message. A UE receiving (310) the broadcast indication constructs (312) the uplink message which includes information that is prioritized in accordance with the indication so as not to exceed a maximum message size.
