METHOD FOR USE OF RANDOM ACCESS RESOURCES

摘要

The invention discloses methods and arrangements for use of random access resources in a wireless communication system. At a service request from the UE, the base station will assign a random access resource (a SYNC_UL code) to the UE. The UE will send a signal using the assigned resource, upon which the base station will measure signal strength, time of arrival or location of the user equipment. The invention thus solves the problem of inefficient use of spreading factor codes as resources for sending signals intended for measuring.
