Abstract:
A radio terminal (1) determines (201) (a) a pathloss level between the radio terminal (1) and a base station (2), (b) a coverage enhancement level based on the pathloss level, or (c) a coverage enhancement mode configured in the radio terminal (1). The radio terminal chooses (202) between non-truncated first information and truncated first information, having a smaller bit length than the non-truncated first information, to be included in an initial uplink Radio Resource Control (RRC) message transmitted within a random access procedure, based on the determined pathloss level, the determined coverage enhancement level, or the determined coverage enhancement mode. This contributes to, for example, enabling a base station to easily know the Msg3 size desired by a radio terminal.
