Abstract
The present disclosure concerns radio communication. More particularly, the disclosure presents a contention based access channel signaling between a radio access network node, such as an evolved NodeB (eNB), and a User Equipment (UE). In one example embodiment, the UE receives 110 a data frame comprising multiple zones from an eNB. A zone of the multiple zones comprises an UE group identity as well as an indicator addressing a reserved contention-based access channel for use in another zone by those UEs having said UE group identity. Also, the UE group identity is retrieved 120, or otherwise read, from the zone. If, or when, the UE group identity matches that of the UE, the UE may utilize 130 the addressed reserved contention-based access channel.
