    Abstract: A terminal device selects are source indicator to be used for non-scheduled access and transmits it to an access device of the network in the non-scheduled access. If it determines based on a response to the non-scheduled access, that it has selected the same resource indicator as another terminal device, it keeps the resource indicator but selects different physical random access channel occasions by setting a time offset for a retransmission with the selected resource indicator. An initial waiting time may be determined by the access device (e.g. based on a traffic amount on the access channel) and transmitted to the terminal device for setting the time offset. Also, a layer (2) error caused by a random access channel resource collision of terminal devices may be determined at the access device and a feedback indicating a non-acknowledgement for layer (2) may be transmitted to colliding terminal devices.

    Abstract: Example embodiments of the invention provide at least apparatus for performing novel methods including receiving, by user device of a communication network, from a network node of the communication network at least one message including an access control indication, wherein the user device is in a radio resource control inactive state; and based on the user device meeting at least one requirement for use of the access control indication, performing operations comprising starting a random access procedure to enable at least one of an uplink or downlink data transmission between the user device and the communication network. In addition, at least apparatus for performing determining, by a network node of a communication network, at least one message comprising an access control indication for at least one user device, wherein the at least one user device is in a radio resource control inactive state; and communicating the at least one message with the at least one user equipment, wherein the at least one message is for causing operations comprising a random access procedure to enable communication with the communication network for use of the access control indication in response to the at least one user device meeting at least one requirement.
