FALLBACK PROCEDURE ON A RANDOM ACCESS CHANNEL

Abstract:

An apparatus may be configured to determine that a first random access channel (RACH) procedure with a base station is unsuccessful. The apparatus may be further configured to transmit, after determining that the first RACH procedure is unsuccessful, a preamble message for a second RACH procedure with the base station. A second configuration for the second RACH procedure may be different from a first configuration for the first RACH procedure. Another apparatus may be configured to receive a preamble message from a UE for a second RACH procedure having a second configuration different from a first configuration for a first RACH procedure. The other apparatus may be further configured to determine that the first RACH procedure with the UE is unsuccessful.
