Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for facilitating the use of random access channel occasions for full-duplex communication. An example method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a first group of UEs may include receiving, from a base station (BS) of a wireless network, a first indication indicating, from a first plurality of random access channel occasions (ROs) not available for use by a second group of UEs within the wireless network, a set of ROs that are available for use by the first group of UEs within the wireless network, receiving a first signal of a plurality of signals transmitted by the BS, and transmitting, in response to receiving the first signal, a random access preamble in a first RO of the set of ROs based on a mapping between the first signal and the first RO.

A method of transmitting a Random Access Channel (RACH) Occasion configuration to a terminal device and receiving a RACH preamble according to the RACH Occasion configuration. The RACH Occasion configuration comprises a first time resource indication identifying a first set of time resources in which the terminal device is allowed to transmit a RACH preamble according to a first random access procedure, a first frequency resource indication identifying at least a first set of frequency resources in which the terminal device is allowed to transmit the RACH preamble, a second time resource indication identifying a second set of time resources in which the terminal device is allowed to transmit a RACH preamble according to a second random access procedure, and a second frequency resource indication identifying at least a second set of frequency resources in which the terminal device is allowed to transmit the RACH preamble.

A random access method, a random access processing method, a terminal, and a network device. The method includes: receiving first configuration information, where the first configuration information is used for indicating a related configuration for performing a random access process based on a target transmission node; and initiating the random access process to the target transmission node based on the first configuration information. The terminal is configured with a target object corresponding to N transmission nodes, the target object is a serving cell or a bandwidth part, and N is an integer greater than 1. The target transmission node is any one of the N transmission nodes.

A method and apparatus are provided, in which a configuration including a number of symbols for delaying monitoring a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in a search space set associated with each of at least one type of physical random access channel (PRACH) occasions is determined (202). A PRACH preamble is transmitted (204) in a PRACH occasion for an identified type of PRACH occasion. In response to the transmission of the PRACH preamble in the PRACH, the PDCCH is monitored (206) for a random access response in the search space set associated with a control resource set (CORESET) during a window, wherein the window starts at a first symbol of the earliest CORESET that the user equipment is configured to receive the PDCCH that is at least the configured number of symbols for the identified type of PRACH occasion after the last symbol of the PRACH occasion.

Provided are a channel coordination method and apparatus. The method may be used by a first access point (AP) that is currently serving a terminal. In response to determining that a channel needs to be configured for a real-time service initiated by the terminal, the first AP detects a second AP that requires channel coordination. The first AP sends channel coordination request signalling to the second AP, wherein the channel coordination request signalling comprises a designated channel that the first AP requests to coordinate. In response to receiving first channel coordination feedback signalling, which is used for indicating to agree to coordinate the designated channel, sent from the second AP, the first AP determines, according to the first channel coordination feedback signalling, that the second AP agrees to coordinate the designated channel.

Spectrum and radio resources associated with a 5G radio unit (RU) of a host network are dynamically allocated amongst one or more guest networks. A provisioning plane receives inputs from a guest network operator that identifies desired times, locations and/or frequency bands for desired network coverage. The provisioning plane responsively identifies bandwidth allocations that meet the requested parameters for exclusive use by the guest network. User equipment (UE) associated with each guest network maintains time and frequency synchronization with the host network, but otherwise limits its communications to the frequency bands allocated to the guest network. By dynamically obtaining physical radio and spectrum resources from a host provider and by scaling backend network capabilities using cloud resources, guest networks for any number of different purposes can be quickly deployed or modified as desired.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may identify a bandwidth part (BWP) to switch to after identifying consistent uplink listen-before-talk (LBT) failures on a first BWP based on parameters indicated by a base station. For example, the base station may transmit a switching parameter to the UE that the UE then uses to switch to a second BWP based on identifying the consistent uplink LBT failures on the first BWP. Subsequently, after selecting the second BWP, the UE may attempt to use the second BWP for uplink transmissions (e.g., after performing a random access procedure). Additionally, the UE may indicate the consistent uplink LBT failures to a base station associated with the failed BWP based on a type of cell that is using that failed BWP.

The disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for the Internet of things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on 5G communication technology and IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. The present disclosure provides a method and apparatus for handling message A retransmission during 2 step random access procedures.

Generating, by a user equipment (UE) of a wireless access network, for a set of contention-based random access occasions of a base station of the network, a random number over an interval. For the generated random number meeting a threshold value within the interval, transmitting, by the UE and to the base station, a random access preamble within one of the random access occasions of the set. For the generated random number not meeting the threshold value, attempting, by the UE, contention-based access to the network within a subsequent set of random access occasions of the base station, the subsequent set of random access occasions occurring after the set of contention-based random access occasions of the base station.

In one aspect, a method of wireless communication includes receiving, by a user equipment (UE), a preconfigured uplink resource (PUR) configuration message indicating a PUR configuration for small data transmissions. The method also includes determining, by the UE, a PUR configuration release trigger for the PUR configuration. The method further includes receiving, by the UE, a PUR configuration release message configured to release the PUR configuration. In another aspect, a method of wireless communication includes transmitting, by a network entity, a preconfigured uplink resource (PUR) configuration message indicating a PUR configuration for small data transmissions. The method also includes determining, by the network entity, a PUR configuration release trigger for the PUR configuration. The method further includes transmitting, by the network entity, a PUR configuration release message configured to release the PUR configuration. Other aspects are described and claimed.
