Abstract
A method for operating a user device adapted to transmit data in a communications system in which available resources are divided into contention resources and non-contention resources includes selecting a first non-contention resource from the non-contention resources in accordance with selection information, the user device configured to transmit data on the first non-contention resource, determining a contention resource from a first plurality of contention resources associated with the first non-contention resource, in accordance with an association between the first plurality of contention resources and the first non-contention resource is known by the user device and a network node in the communications system, and transmitting a message on the contention resource, wherein the message initiates a random access procedure to obtain access to the selected first non-contention resource.
