Feedback reporting in a two-step random-access procedure

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:
• transmit, to a base station as part of a random-access procedure, a random-access message comprising a preamble and a payload;
• receive, from the base station, at least a control channel portion of a response to the random-access message, wherein the response comprises the control channel portion and a data channel portion;
• determine, based at least in part on at least one parameter of the control channel portion, whether the data channel portion includes at least one radio resource control message;
• and
• manage flow control feedback reporting for the response based at least in part on the determining.

• means for receiving, from the base station, at least a control channel portion of a response to the random-access message, wherein the response comprises the control channel portion and a data channel portion;
• means for determining, based at least in part on at least one parameter of the control channel portion, whether the data channel portion includes at least one radio resource control message;
• and
• means for managing flow control feedback reporting for the response based at least in part on the determining.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing code for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), the code comprising instructions executable by a processor to:

• transmit, to a base station as part of a random-access procedure, a random-access message comprising a preamble and a payload;
• receive, from the base station, at least a control channel portion of a response to the random-access message, wherein the response comprises the control channel portion and a data channel portion;
• determine, based at least in part on at least one parameter of the control channel portion, whether the data channel portion includes at least one radio resource control message;
• and
• manage flow control feedback reporting for the response based at least in part on the determining.
