HANDLING TIMING CONFLICTS INVOLVING RANDOM ACCESS PROCEDURE MESSAGES

摘要

A method for handling timing conflicts associated with a random channel access procedure is implemented in a user device, wherein a first time period during which the user device transmits at least the data portion of the random access procedure message to the base station is such that the user device sends another signal to the base station. and determining (314) whether it overlaps a second time period. The method also includes determining 320 a transmission priority indicating whether to modify the transmission timing for the random access procedure message or to modify the transmission timing for the other signal instead, based at least on the type of the other signal, and the determined transmission priority based on , sending (340) at least the data portion of the random access procedure message to the base station during the first time period or sending (340) another signal to the base station during the second time period.
