Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for random access in a wireless communication system are disclosed herein. In one method, a user equipment (UE) performs a first attempt of a random access procedure to communicate with a cell via at least a first UE beam. The UE performs a second attempt of the random access procedure to communicate with the cell via at least a second UE beam when the first attempt fails, in which the direction of the first UE beam and the direction of the second UE beam are different.
Claims20
A method of user equipment (UE) for improving random access, the method comprising:
- performing a first attempt of a random access procedure to communicate with a cell via at least a first UE beam;
- and
- performing a second attempt of the random access procedure to communicate with the cell via at least a second UE beam when the first attempt fails, wherein the direction of the first UE beam and the direction of the second UE beam are different.
A User Equipment (UE) for improving uplink transmission comprising:
- a control circuit;
- a processor installed in the control circuit;
- a memory installed in the control circuit and coupled to the processor;
- wherein the processor is configured to execute a program code stored in the memory to:
- perform a first attempt of a random access procedure to communicate with a cell via at least a first UE beam;
- and
- perform a second attempt of the random access procedure to communicate with the cell via at least a second UE beam when the first attempt fails, wherein the direction of the first UE beam and the direction of the second UE beam are different.
