Random access channel collision handling through multiple transmit power control commands

A network node for wireless communication, comprising:

• one or more memories;
• and
• one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, configured to cause the network node to:
• receive a first physical random access channel (PRACH) message associated with a PRACH resource and a second PRACH message associated with the PRACH resource;
• transmit, in response to the first PRACH message and the second PRACH message, a random access response (RAR) indicating a set of transmit power control (TPC) values;
• and
• receive a first physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) message and a second PUSCH message, wherein the first PUSCH message and the second PUSCH message are associated with different TPC values from the set of TPC values.

A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• transmitting, to a network node, a physical random access channel (PRACH) message;
• receiving, from the network node, a random access response (RAR) indicating a set of transmit power control (TPC) values;
• and
• transmitting, to the network node, a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) message using a TPC value selected from the set of TPC values.
