Random access procedure timing designs

Abstract:

A configurable new radio (NR) RACH procedure that may be executed by a UE and a base station is disclosed. A first message can be transmitted, in an inactive or idle state, a on a physical random access channel, where the first message includes a random access preamble. A second message can be received on a downlink channel in response to the first message, where the second message includes a temporary cell radio network temporary identifier and an uplink grant for the user equipment. A request can be transmitted on an uplink channel based on the uplink grant. A common search space of a downlink control channel can be monitored, such as for an acknowledgement message or a negative acknowledgement message corresponding to the request and identifiable based on the temporary cell radio network temporary identifier.
