RANDOM ACCESS CONFIGURATIONS USING REFERENCE SIGNALS

Abstract:

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station and while in a low-power mode, a reference signal, where the reference signal is not a cell-specific reference signal. Additionally, or alternatively, the UE may receive a signal including at least one parameter associated with the reference signal. Accordingly, the UE may initiate, with the base station, a random access procedure based at least in part on measurements of the reference signal. In some aspects, the UE may initiate the random access procedure by transmitting, to the base station, a random access preamble based at least in part on the at least one parameter. Numerous other aspects are provided.
