Abstract: A method and apparatus for extended access barring (EAB) in a wireless communication system. In the proposed method, EAB application information is defined. Further, a base station is configured to send random access (RA) response within RA response window if it receives any random access preamble, so RA response window should be set as the minimum time duration UE should check the existence of RA response. In the proposed method, the UE configured with EAB should wait the duration of RA response window to receive RA response before skipping initial EAB checking. If RA response window passed and no RA response received, UE skips EAB checking in case of initial random access preamble transmission.
