Abstract
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for differentiating physical random access channel (PRACH) repetition numbers. An example method, performed by a network entity, includes receiving at least one physical random access channel (PRACH) repetition, of a group of PRACH repetitions, determining a number of PRACH repetitions in the group, based on at least one resource associated with the at least one PRACH repetition, and processing the group of PRACH repetitions, in accordance with the determination.
Claims24
A method for wireless communications by a network entity, comprising:
- receiving at least one physical random access channel (PRACH) repetition, of a group of PRACH repetitions;
- determining a number of PRACH repetitions in the group, based on at least one resource associated with the at least one PRACH repetition;
- and
- processing the group of PRACH repetitions, in accordance with the determination.
A method for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- selecting at least one resource for at least one physical random access channel (PRACH) repetition of a group of PRACH repetitions, wherein the selection is based on a number of PRACH repetitions in the group;
- and
- transmitting the PRACH repetitions, in accordance with the selection.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a memory comprising executable instructions;
- and a processor configured to execute the executable instructions and cause the apparatus to:
- receive at least one physical random access channel (PRACH) repetition, of a group of PRACH repetitions;
- determine a number of PRACH repetitions in the group, based on at least one resource associated with the at least one PRACH repetition;
- and
- process the group of PRACH repetitions, in accordance with the determination.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a memory comprising executable instructions;
- and a processor configured to execute the executable instructions and cause the apparatus to:
- select at least one resource for at least one physical random access channel (PRACH) repetition of a group of PRACH repetitions, wherein the selection is based on a number of PRACH repetitions in the group;
- and
- transmit the PRACH repetitions, in accordance with the selection.
