Triggered physical random access channel for new radio unlicensed

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may obtain a signal received over a wireless channel, the signal configuring one or more random access parameters for the wireless channel. The UE may obtain a downlink control signal over the wireless channel, wherein the downlink control signal comprises an indication of a trigger and a location of one or more random access occasions for the UE. The UE may output, based at least in part on the downlink control signal, a random access signal for transmission on the wireless channel during at least one of the one or more random access occasions and according to the one or more random access parameters and the location. The UE may establish a connection with a base station based at least in part on the random access signal.
