Patent AT-E400098-T1: [Translated] METHOD FOR CONTROLLING RADIO MEANS

A method and apparatus is provided for transmitting a single counting end message to reject RRC connection requests of a plurality of terminals and for providing a quick response to terminals that transmitted a connection request. RRC connection request messages are sent by a plurality of terminals to a network in response to an RRC connection-required message received on a first channel. Each terminal monitors a second channel for an RRC connection setup message. The network establishes connections with a predetermined number of terminals by transmitting an RRC connection setup message on the second channel and transmits a single RRC connection-not-required message to the plurality of terminals on the first channel. Each terminal not receiving an RRC connection setup message after a predetermined period of time then terminates the network connection procedure and does not re-transmit an RRC connection request message after receiving the RRC connection-not-required message.
