COMMUNICATION STATIONS AND METHODS FOR TRANSMITTING ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON AN ENHANCED RANDOM ACCESS CHANNEL
First Claim
1. A method performed by a device comprising:
- generating an initial access burst for transmission on an enhanced random access channel (RACH);
transmitting the initial access burst using a timing advance, the timing advance to cause the initial access burst to be received at the network within a single time slot of the enhanced RACH,wherein the initial access burst includes at least one of information about capabilities of the device or information identifying the device; and
receiving a temporary block flow (TBF) assignment from the network in response to sending the at least one of the information about the capabilities of the device or the information identifying the device.

Abstract
Example communication stations and methods for transmitting additional information on an enhanced random access channel (RACH) are disclosed herein. An example method performed by a device involves generating an initial access burst for transmission on an enhanced RACH and transmitting the initial access burst using a timing advance. The timing advance is to cause the initial access burst to be received at the network within a single time slot of the enhanced RACH. The initial access burst includes at least one of information about capabilities of the device or information identifying the device. The example method also involves receiving a temporary block flow (TBF) assignment from the network in response to sending the at least one of the information about the capabilities of the device or the information identifying the device.
