Abstract: disclosed is a method and a network node for handling random access in a wireless communication network. the method includes receiving a random access preamble when a first number of receivers are active and a second number of the receivers are inactive, and sending a random access response to the received random access preamble. the method further includes determining whether a reception requirement for a subsequent random access procedure message is fulfilled, the subsequent random access procedure message being sent subsequent to the network node sending the random access response, the reception requirement being either whether the random access procedure message is received at the network node or whether the random access procedure message that is received has a sufficient quality, and when the reception requirement is determined not fulfilled, activating at least some of the inactive second number of receivers.

Abstract: new radio (nr) rrc includes an rrc_inactive state, which introduces ambiguities in the network's knowledge of ue behavior. a mechanism is introduced for handling parameters received when a ue enters rrc_inactive or rrc_idle upon the ue attempting to resume an rrc connection and, as a response, receiving a release or suspend message. the timer associated to the mobilitycontrolinfo (equivalent to t320) is stopped and associated parameters discarded upon receiving rrc release or suspend. information received in a release or suspend message is discarded upon receiving rrc release or rrc suspend.
