Apparatus and method for dynamically selecting a random access response window value for use with random access procedures in a network

摘要

A method is provided in a user equipment node for dynamically selecting a random access response window value for use with random access procedures in a network. The method comprises the step of determining if a random access response window value is being signalled from the network for a first serving cell currently associated with the user equipment node. If so, the random access response window value being signalled for the first serving cell is used when performing a random access procedure in the first serving cell. If not, an alternative random access response window value for the first serving cell is used when performing a random access procedure in the first serving cell.
