Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure leverage the association of the multiple user equipments (UEs) in order to minimize the need for separate random access channel (RACH) procedures and beam management procedure for each UE within the group, and in turn minimize network congestion and probability of traffic collisions.
Claims30
A method for wireless communication, comprising:
- receiving, at a first user equipment (UE), a configuration message from a network entity that assigns a unique random access channel (RACH) sequence for the first UE to access a channel for communication with the network entity, wherein the first UE is grouped with at least one second UE;
- and
- transmitting, from the first UE to the at least one second UE, scheduling information that indicates one or more time slots for the at least one second UE to access the channel for communication with the network entity utilizing the unique RACH sequence that the network entity assigned to the first UE, wherein the unique RACH sequence is shared between the first UE and the at least one second UE for non-contention based access to the channel.
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- a memory storing computer-executable instructions;
- and
- at least one processor coupled with the memory and configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to:
- receive, at a first user equipment (UE), a configuration message from a network entity that assigns a unique random access channel (RACH) sequence for the first UE to access a channel for communication with the network entity, wherein the first UE is grouped with at least one second UE;
- and
- transmit, from the first UE to the at least one second UE, scheduling information that indicates one or more time slots for the at least one second UE to access the channel for communication with the network entity utilizing the unique RACH sequence that the network entity assigned to the first UE, wherein the unique RACH sequence is shared between the first UE and the at least one second UE for non-contention based access to the channel.

A method for wireless communications, comprising:
- receiving, at a first user equipment (UE), at least a portion of results from a beam search operation conducted between a second UE and a network entity, wherein the first UE is associated with the second UE;
- and
- initiating a random access channel (RACH) procedure between the first UE and the network entity based on said at least a portion of results from the beam search operation received from the second UE.
