Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to a method and wireless device for supporting verification of a device category as well as to a method and a network node. It is desired to quickly allow finding out whether a wireless device should be allowed to access a network by verifying a device category. The method at the device comprises receiving from a network node a verification message including a random bit sequence; calculating a verification signature from the random bit sequence by using a verification function assigned to the device category; and transmitting the calculated verification signature to the network node in an uplink message of a random access procedure or in the first uplink message following a random access procedure so as to allow verification of the device category using the verification signature at a network node.
