Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, via a first cell, downlink control information for physical downlink control channel ordered contention-free random access, wherein the downlink control information indicates a timing advance group of a second cell and one or more parameters associated with a random access message to be transmitted by the UE via the second cell, wherein the first cell and the second cell belong to different timing advance groups. The UE may transmit the random access message via the second cell according to the one or more parameters and a timing advance value determined based at least in part on the timing advance group of the second cell. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The described techniques provide for a user equipment (UE) to adjust a random access message that is transmitted to a base station in an asynchronous uplink transmission. The UE may use a constrained mapping of time and frequency resources for the random access message or transmit all portions of the message in a continuous transmission. The UE may also adjust the timing of the portions of the message. The base station may use a portion of the message, such as a preamble, to perform channel estimation for another portion of the message, such as a payload, to improve decoding of the transmitted message. Additionally, the UE may configure a waveform of the message to improve the continuous transmission of the message, for example by reducing interference between portions of the message.

Systems and methods are described, and one method includes allocate a continuous duration within a TDMA scheme, for asynchronous NOMA transmissions, and extending from an allocation start time to an allocation termination time, formed of contiguous time slots of the TDMA scheme, and included providing to asynchronous NOMA user terminals an indication of the allocation start time and termination time, indicating allowance to perform asynchronous NOMA transmissions within a start time constraint that starts of the asynchronous NOMA transmissions do not precede the allocation start time, and terminations of the asynchronous NOMA transmissions do not succeed the allocation termination time.

The present disclosure provides an SP-ID indication method, an SP-ID indication device, a UE and an access device. The SP-ID indication method includes: transmitting, by a UE, an access request message to an access device through a PRACH, the access request message being at least used to indicate the quantity of PSP-IDs to be transmitted by the UE; and receiving, by the UE, resource information about uplink resources from the access device, the uplink resources being selected by the access device in accordance with the quantity of the PSP-IDs to be transmitted by the UE and used to transmit the PSP-IDs to be transmitted by the UE.

A master station capable of controlling a slave station, includes a transmission unit, a reception unit, and a device control unit. The transmission unit and the reception unit communicate via a network with another communication apparatus capable of controlling a slave station. The device control unit acquires slave station information indicating slave stations to be controlled by the other communication apparatus, obtains, as a controlled slave station of the master station, a slave station which does not overlap with a slave station indicated by the slave station information based on the acquired slave station information, and generates control information for controlling the controlled slave station of the master station. The transmission unit transmits the control information to the controlled slave station of the master station.
