  • Publication number: 20180176906
    Abstract: A mobile station device transmits a random access preamble to a base station device. The base station device receives the random access preamble from the mobile station device and transmits, to the mobile station device, a Random Access-Radio Network Temporary Identity (RA-RNTI) which notifies a resource assignment of a random access response. The mobile station device further monitors downlink control channels while detecting both a Cell-Radio Network Temporary Identity (C-RNTI) and the RA-RNTI, in which a downlink control channel includes the RA-RNTI and a downlink control channel includes the C-RNTI which notifies a resource assignment of downlink data. Upon detection of the C-RNTI and the RA-RNTI in a same sub-frame, the mobile station receives both the random access response and the downlink data, or receives either the random access response or the downlink data.
