Association period determination for additional physical random-access channel occasions

A method for wireless communications at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• receiving a signal that identifies a configuration for a set of physical random-access channel (PRACH) occasions (ROs), wherein one or more first parameters associated with a first subset of ROs in the set of ROs are in accordance with one or more second parameters associated with a second subset of ROs in the set of ROs, wherein the first subset of ROs comprise additional ROs and the one or more first parameters comprise at least an association period associated with the first subset of ROs;
• and
• selectively performing one or more PRACH transmissions during the first subset of ROs according to the one or more first parameters.
