Radio network node, wireless device, and methods performed in a wireless communication network

A wireless device operating in a wireless communication network, the wireless device comprising:

• processing circuitry;
• and
• memory coupled to the processing circuitry and having instructions stored therein that are executable by the processing circuitry to cause the wireless device to perform operations, the operations comprising:
• transmitting, to a radio network node in the wireless communication network, a first preamble associated with a selected downlink beam;
• monitoring the wireless communication network for a random access response, RAR, during a first RAR reception window;
• responsive to the RAR not being received during the first RAR reception window, transmitting, to the radio network node, a second preamble associated with a second beam;
• and
• monitoring the wireless communication network for the RAR during a second RAR reception window of a different beam wherein the first preamble is associated with a channel state information reference signal and the second preamble is associated with a synchronization signal block.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored therein that are executable by processing circuitry of a wireless device in a wireless communication network to cause the wireless device to perform operations, the operations comprising:

• transmitting, to a radio network node in the wireless communication network, a first preamble associated with a selected downlink beam;
• monitoring the wireless communication network for a random access response, RAR, during a first RAR reception window;
• responsive to the RAR not being received during the first RAR reception window, transmitting, to the radio network node, a second preamble associated with a second beam;
• and
• monitoring the wireless communication network for the RAR during a second RAR reception window of a different beam wherein the first preamble is associated with a channel state information reference signal and the second preamble is associated with a synchronization signal block.
