    摘要: According to one embodiment, a method of operating a wireless terminal may include configuring a first group of component carriers, and while configured with the first group of component carriers, communicating a first MAC CE including a first bit map having a first bit map size with bits of the first bit map corresponding to respective component carriers of the first group of component carriers. The method may also include configuring a second group of component carriers wherein the first and second groups of component carriers are different. While configured with the second group of component carriers, a second MAC CE may be communicated, wherein the second MAC CE includes a second bit map having a second bit map size with bits of the second bit map corresponding to respective component carriers of the second group of component carriers. Moreover, the first and second bit map sizes may be different.

    摘要: A method of managing an access attempt for accessing a cellular network (82) is described. The method is performed by a communication device (40) and comprises sending (84), to a radio network node (60) of the cellular network (82), an access request message for requesting access to the cellular network (82), and receiving (88), from the radio network node (60), an access response message for the access request message. The access response message comprises a wait indication indicating to wait for a resumption indication before resuming the access attempt. The resumption indication indicates to resume the access attempt, and the method also comprises, in response to the received wait indication, waiting (90) to resume the access attempt. The communication device (40) is in an idle mode and the access response message is received after a random access response message. Alternatively, the communication device (40) is in a connected mode and the resumption indication is received via a physical downlink control channel. Therefore load control of load associated with the access attempt of the communication device (40) may be accomplished in a fast, easy and flexible way.
