Abstract: A transmission node in a wireless communication network includes a receiving unit for receiving a set of data packets transmitted from a set of nodes in the network scheduled in one TTI, a memory unit having a number of memory blocks, each for storing a set of data packets transmitted in a separate TTI of a HARQ process. Each memory block includes sub-memory blocks, each of which is for storing a data packet transmitted from a separate UE. The transmission node further includes a processor for allocating the set of data packets to the sub-memory blocks and releasing the sub-memory blocks after one HARQ process upon receipt of the set of data packets.

Abstract: A base station and method of synchronizing with a user equipment (UE) in a cell of the base station. The base station signals to the UE an indication relating to a subset of preambles chosen for synchronization with the cell from a set of preambles derivable from one or more given root sequences. The subset of preambles is chosen to provide an increased cell radius compared to the cell radius achievable if the specified full set of preambles for random access procedures was generated from the given root sequences using a given cyclic shift value.
