Abstract

User equipment, systems, apparatuses, methods and/or computer program products are provided to facilitate random access procedures in a wireless communication network. The selection and utilization of uplink and downlink component carriers for conducting contention-free and contention-based random access procedures is facilitated in a multiple component carrier system, where a user equipment is configured with multiple uplink and downlink component carriers.
