METHOD FOR ESTABLISHING A COMMUNICATION BETWEEN A USER EQUIPMENT AND A RADIO NETWORK

摘要

The present invention proposes a method for improving the performance of random access when establishing a communication link between a user equipment (UE) and a radio network (UTRAN), said method comprising the step of: transmitting a random access message (RAM) from said user equipment (UE) to said radio network (UTRAN), wherein said random access message (RAM) contains information describing a functional capability (UE_CAPABILITY) of said user equipment (UE). Thereby, the network knows the capabilities of the terminal as early as possible and can thus optimize all functions performed by the network to be in conformity with the terminal capabilities.
