A method of operating a network node in a radio access network, the method comprising:
- transmitting by the network node a control message that is a PDCCH order indicating to a user equipment (UE) to perform a random access procedure, the PDCCH order being transmitted utilising a beam selected from a set of beams, the beam being selected by the network node based on reference signaling and system information signaling by performing a best beam prediction, the set of beams comprising beams associated with signaling configured for radio link monitoring.
A network node for a radio access network, the network node being adapted for:
- transmitting by the network node a control message that is a PDCCH order indicating to a user equipment (UE) to perform a random access procedure, the PDCCH order being transmitted utilising a beam selected from a set of beams, the beam being selected by the network node based on reference signaling and system information signaling by performing a best beam prediction, the set of beams comprising beams associated with signaling configured for radio link monitoring.
A method of operating a user equipment in a radio access network, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a network node, a control message that is a PDCCH order indicating the user equipment to perform a random access procedure, the PDCCH order being transmitted utilising a beam selected from a set of beams, the beam being selected by the network node based on reference signaling and system information signaling by performing a best beam prediction, the set of beams comprising beams associated with signaling configured for radio link monitoring.
A user equipment for a radio access network, the user equipment being adapted for:
- receiving, from a network node, a control message that is a PDCCH order indicating the user equipment to perform a random access procedure, the PDCCH order being transmitted utilising a beam selected from a set of beams, the beam being selected by the network node based on reference signaling and system information signaling by performing a best beam prediction, the set of beams comprising beams associated with signaling configured for radio link monitoring.
