US Patent 8682318 Method of performing random access after applying back-off

A random access procedure in a radio communication system is provided. The method of performing random access in a radio communication system includes transmitting a random access preamble using a predetermined parameter value, delaying retransmission of the random access preamble if the random access fails, initializing the predetermined parameter value if a delay time is more than a specific threshold value, and retransmitting the random access preamble using the initialized parameter value.
