TERMINAL, BASE STATION AND COMMUNICATION METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18272967 titled 'TERMINAL, BASE STATION AND COMMUNICATION METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of the patent application describes a terminal that receives system information from a base station, selects resources for random access based on the received information and the device type of the terminal, and transmits a random access preamble to the base station using the selected resource. The device type of the reference terminal is either a reduced-function terminal type or an enhanced-coverage terminal type.

  • The terminal receives system information from the base station.
  • The controller selects resources for random access based on the received information and the device type of the terminal.
  • The transmitter transmits a random access preamble to the base station using the selected resource.
  • The device type of the reference terminal is a reduced-function terminal type or an enhanced-coverage terminal type.
