A method for allocating resources between a mobile communication device and a network access node is described. The method includes sending a random access preamble message to the network access node. Receiving a random access response message which includes a response to the random access preamble message is also included in the method. The response includes UL resource allocation information for scheduling an UL transmission. The UL resource allocation information includes information identifying one or more individual time subframes allocated for the UL transmission. The method also includes sending the UL transmission in the identified one or more individual time subframes. Apparatus and computer readable memory are also described.
