METHOD FOR SIGNALING BACK-OFF INFORMATION IN RANDOM ACCESS
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for performing a random access procedure in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- transmitting a preamble for random access from a mobile station to a network; and
receiving by the mobile station a random access response message from the network as a response to the preamble, the random access response message having a MAC (Medium Access Control) header and zero or more MAC random access responses (RARs),wherein the MAC header includes a first MAC sub-header followed by a second MAC sub-header,wherein the first MAC sub-header includes a corresponding first 1-bit field directly followed by a corresponding second 1-bit field,wherein the second MAC sub-header includes a corresponding first 1-bit field directly followed by a corresponding second 1-bit field,wherein the first 1-bit field of the first MAC sub-header and/or the first 1-bit field of the second MAC sub-header indicates whether or not more fields are included in the MAC header,wherein, when the second 1-bit field of the first MAC sub-header indicates the first MAC sub-header includes a backoff parameter, there is no MAC RAR corresponding to the first MAC sub-header in the random access response message, andwherein, when the second 1-bit field of the second MAC sub-header indicates the second MAC sub-header includes a first random access preamble identifier, the random access response message includes a MAC RAR corresponding to the first random access preamble identifier.

Abstract
A method for performing random access in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes transmitting a preamble for random access in uplink, receiving a random access response message including back-off information as a response to the preamble, and performing back-off using the back-off information when the random access has failed.
