NETWORK NODE, WIRELESS DEVICE AND METHOD FOR USE IN A RANDOM ACCESS PROCEDURE THEREBETWEEN IN A CELL OF THE NETWORK NODE

摘要

A network node, a wireless device and methods performed thereby for use in a Random Access, RA, procedure with wireless devices in a cell of the network node are provided. The method includes receiving, from at least two wireless devices, a RA message comprising an RA preamble; transmitting an RA Response, RAR, to the at least two wireless devices, the RAR comprising a TC-RNTI and an RA preamble identifier identifying the received RA preamble; and receiving, from each of said at least two wireless devices, a connection request message comprising a respective S-TMSI. The method includes for a wireless device previously connected to the network node in the same cell, transmitting a connection setup message addressed to a C-RNTI previously assigned to the wireless device; and for a wireless device not previously connected to the network node in the same cell, transmitting, a connection setup message addressed to the TC-RNTI.
