Abstract (en)
A cellular communication system comprises a first base station (205) serving at least a first user equipment (201) The base station (205) comprises
functionality (701, 703, 704) for transmitting a base station duplex capability message to user equipments (201, 203) using a transmission format
which is common to a plurality of duplex modes. The first user equipment (201) comprises a transceiver (801) which receives the base station
duplex capability message. A RACH characteristics processor (805) determines at least one transmit characteristic for an access message in
response to the base station duplex capability message and a RACH transmit controller (807) controls the transmission of an access message to the
first base station (205) in response to the at least one transmit characteristic.
