Enhancements random access procedure for heterogeneous networks

A method (1100; 1600) for wireless communications comprising: receiving, by a user equipment, UE, from a base station, configuration parameters for different random access procedures, RA; notify the base station of an attribute of the UE by transmitting one or more messages RA according to one of the RA procedures, in which the attribute is indicated by the used RA procedure, wherein the attribute comprises detecting (1602) of a condition of interference by the UE, in which a first RA (1604) method is used if an interference condition is detected; and a second RA procedure (1606) is used if an interference condition is detected; further comprising determining (1102) the partition information resource, RPI, indicating the subframes subject to cooperative partitioning of resources between a base station and one or more base stations out of service, and use the RPI when performed the second RA procedure.
