Initial access random access occasion-caused interference

An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• a processor;
• memory coupled with the processor;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
• receive an indication of a plurality of random access occasions for uplink message transmission to a base station;
• determine that a first portion of the plurality of random access occasions is unavailable for use by the UE as a result of the base station operating in a full duplex mode;
• select one or more random access occasions from a second portion of the plurality of random access occasions instead of from the first portion based at least in part on the determining;
• and
• transmit a random access message to the base station during the one or more random access occasions from the second portion.
