Patent ID: RE43323

Claim:
Device ( 1 ) for transmitting and receiving data in a digital telecommunication system, in which a random access channel having a number of random access slots for transmitting random access bursts is provided, with generating means ( 3 ) for generating a random access burst comprising a preamble part for acquiring a part of said ransom access channel and at least one message part for transmitting data in said acquired part of said random access channel, the number of message parts depending on an amount of data to be transmitted in the message parts, whereby in case that two or more message parts are generated, the generating means generates said random access burst with at least one continuation indicator indicating said two or more message parts, and transmitting means ( 4 ) for transmitting said random access burst generated by said generating means, whereby a preamble part of a random access burst having more than one message part is transmitted from random access slots that are different from random access slots used to transmit a preamble part of a random access burst having only one message part, thereby notifying the device to reserve the acquired part of the random access channel if needed.
