Question: What is the primary objective of the Random Access procedure in establishing Layer 1 communication between UE (User Equipment) and UTRAN (Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network)?
Option 1: To prioritize and maintain ongoing connections over new access attempts.
Option 2: To provide a fast access mechanism without disrupting existing communications.
Option 3: To manage handover processes between different UTRAN cells.
Option 4: To optimize power consumption for UE devices during idle modes.
Explanation: The Random Access procedure aims to strike a balance between quickly establishing new connections (fast access) and not interfering with ongoing communications, ensuring efficient network operation without service degradation for already connected users.
