Random access message transmission using multiple symbols

A method of wireless communication comprising:

• receiving a random access message from a user equipment (UE), wherein the random access message comprises a plurality of repetitions of a random access sequence weighted using different elements of a spreading code and spread over a plurality of symbols;
• identifying the random access sequence and the spreading code based at least in part on the random access message;
• and
• identifying the UE based at least in part on the random access sequence and the spreading code.

An apparatus for wireless communication comprising:

• means for identifying a random access sequence and a spreading code;
• means for generating a random access message comprising a plurality of repetitions of the random access sequence weighted using different elements of the spreading code and spread over a plurality of symbols;
• and
• means for transmitting the random access message to a wireless node.
