20150043455 | RADIO COMMUNICATION SYSTEM FOR ASSIGNING A SHORT-LIVED C-RNTI - A radio communication system and a method for assigning a short-lived Cell Radio Network Temporary Identifier (C-RNTI) to a first user equipment performing random access to a radio network node are provided. The radio communication system registers the first user equipment as connected to the radio network node. A message for synchronizing the radio network node and the first user equipment with respect to the first time period is transferred. After the first time period has elapsed, the radio communication system maintains the first user equipment connected to the radio network node, and allows the short-lived C-RNTI to be assigned to a second user equipment. Furthermore, a first user equipment and method for enabling assignment of a short-lived C-RNTI to the first user equipment performing random access and a radio network node and method for assigning a short-lived C-RNTI to a first user equipment performing random access are provided. | 02-12-2015 |
