Abstract
A method in a User Equipment (150), UE, for handling random access procedure to a wireless communications network via a network node (140), the UE (150) being configured to support transmissions on a Control CHannel, CCH, on an enhanced Control CHannel, eCCH, or on both. The method comprises sending (S160) a random access preamble to the network node, and receiving (S162) a random access response from the network node on at least one of the CCH or the eCCH. The random access preamble comprising a UE indication indicating that the UE is configured to monitor transmissions on the CCH, on the eCCH or on both;
A user equipment, a method in network node and a network node are also provided.

33. A method in a network node for handling random access procedures that provide User Equipments (UEs) access to a wireless communications network via the network node, wherein the network node supports both transmissions on a Control CHannel (CCH) and on an enhanced Control CHannel (eCCH), and the method comprises:
-
receiving a random access preamble from at least one UE in the wireless communications network, the random access preamble comprising a UE indication indicating whether the UE is configured to monitor transmissions on the CCH, on the eCCH, or on both; and transmitting a random access response to the UE on at least one of the CCH and the eCCH, enabling the UE to monitor the transmissions. - View Dependent Claims (34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42)
