Abstract
Disclosed are apparatuses and methods for a signaling procedure. An example method may include transmitting a first portion of a signaling message in a first sub-band and transmitting a second portion of the signaling message in a second sub-band, the second portion including an indication to the first portion transmitted in the first sub-band. Related apparatuses and computer readable medium are also disclosed.
Claims6
A method comprising:
- performing a first interference check on a first sub-band and a second sub-band, wherein the first sub-band is different from the second sub-band;
- based on the first interference check, selecting the first sub-band for transmitting a first portion of a signaling message and in response to the selecting, transmitting the first portion of the signaling message in the first sub-band;
- performing a second interference check on the second sub-band;
- selecting the second sub-band for transmitting a second portion of the signaling message based on passing the second interference check on the second sub-band, the second portion including an indication to the first portion transmitted in the first sub-band,
- wherein the first portion includes a preamble part of a random access procedure and the second portion further includes a data part of the random access procedure,
- wherein the indication includes a mapping between the preamble part in the first portion in the first sub-band and a demodulation reference signal port for transmitting the second portion;
- and
- monitoring for a response to the signaling message from an access network on multiple sub-bands including at least the first and second sub-bands.
5 more elements
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code being configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to:
- perform a first interference check on a first sub-band and a second sub-band,
- wherein the first sub-band is different from the second sub-band;
- based on the first interference check, selecting the first sub-band for transmitting a first portion of a signaling message and in response to the selecting, transmitting the first portion of the signaling message in the first sub-band;
- perform a second interference check on the second sub-band;
- select the second sub-band to transmit a second portion of the signaling message, based on passing the second interference check on the second sub-band, the second portion including an indication to the first portion transmitted in the first sub-band,
- wherein the first portion includes a preamble part of a random access procedure and the second portion further includes a data part of the random access procedure,
- wherein the indication includes a mapping between a preamble part in the first portion in the first sub-band and a demodulation reference signal port for transmitting the second portion;
- and
- monitor for a response to the signaling message from an access network on multiple sub-bands including at least the first and second sub-bands.
9 more elements
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon for causing an apparatus to perform:
- performing a first interference check on a first sub-band and a second sub-band, wherein the first sub-band is different from the second sub-band;
- based on the first interference check, selecting the first sub-band for transmitting a first portion of a signaling message and in response to the selecting, transmitting the first portion of the signaling message in the first sub-band;
- performing a second interference check on the second sub-band;
- selecting the second sub-band for transmitting a second portion of the signaling message based on passing the second interference check on the second sub-band and in response to the selecting of the second sub-band, transmitting the second portion of the signaling message in the second band, the second portion including an indication to the first portion transmitted in the first sub-band, wherein the first portion includes a preamble part of a random access procedure and the second portion includes a data part of the random access procedure, wherein the indication includes a mapping between a preamble part in the first portion in the first sub-band and a demodulation reference signal port for transmitting the second portion;
- and
- monitoring for a response to the signaling message from an access network on multiple sub-bands including at least the first and second sub-bands.
