Claim Text:
1. A method, implemented by a network transceiver device, comprising: defining a set of N dedicated preambles among a total number X of preambles, where N and X are each integers greater than one; allocating a dedicated preamble to a terminal responsive to a connection request received from said terminal; receiving a random access request message from the terminal as a first message in a random access channel (RACH) procedure, and identifying said terminal when requesting random access, based on the allocated dedicated preamble contained in the received random access request received; and granting random access to said terminal upon being identified based on the dedicated preamble and transmitting a random access response message as a second message in the RACH procedure to complete the RACH procedure without requiring further messaging between the terminal and the network transceiver device as part of the RACH procedure.
