Abstract:
1. A communication device comprising: a processing module configured to: receive a random access request from a remote communication device; determine whether a bundled transmission opportunity is to be allocated to the remote communication device, the bundled transmission opportunity comprising a transmission time interval (TTI) bundle, including multiple hybrid automatic repeat requests (HARQ) for random access message when the bundled transmission opportunity is to be allocated, determine subframes to allocate; generate a response message to the remote communication device including the bundled transmission opportunity and the determined subframes to allocate; and for collisions between a non-TTI bundled Msg 3 transmission and the TTI bundles, including multiple hybrid automatic repeat requests (HARQ) for random access message 3 (Msg 3 ), the processing module is further configured to update a redundancy version of dropped packets to a next redundancy version anticipated by the communications node.
