- a mechanism may also be defined when specifications are developed for UE to determine the frame timing and QCL assumptions from the detected SS/PBCH block.
- For SS/PBCH block transmissions as part of DRS it may be beneficial to expand the maximum number of candidate SS/PBCH block positions within the DRS transmission window to Y, for example, Y ⁇ 64, where the choice of Y may depend on the numerology of the SS/PBCH blocks.

- PDCCH DL scheduling
- Certain embodiments described herein may enable UE behavior for deterministic transmission of msg3 for the NW, and every failure in decoding msg3 from the initial resources may be considered as DTX by NW. For example, it may be known whether it was a LBT failure, or RAR was not received by the UE, and/or the NW may know that the UE will immediately re-attempt transmission. As a result, the network entity may avoid sending useless re-transmission grants when the UE fails to receive the RAR, and/or may reduce latency for the RA procedure.
- Certain embodiments are, therefore, directed to improvements in computer-related technology, specifically, by preventing unnecessary retransmission, and allowing the UE to re-attempt transmission immediately without waiting for the contention resolution timer to expire, for example, in case the preferred beam indicated with the transmitted preamble is blocked. Certain embodiments may further conserve network resources and reduce power consumption of network entities and/or user equipment located within the network by reducing redundant operations.

For proper understanding of this disclosure, reference should be made to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 illustrates an example of a method performed by a user equipment according to certain embodiments.
FIG. 2 illustrates another example of a method performed by a user equipment according to certain embodiments.
FIG. 3 illustrates a system according to certain embodiments.
NR-U may support contention-free RACH (CFRA) and CBRA for both 2-step and 4-step RACH procedures. With respect to secondary cells, CFRA may be supported as a baseline, while both CBRA and CFRA are supported on SpCells. For 4-step RACH procedure, the messages in time order may be described as msg1, msg2, msg3, msg4, while for 2-step RACH, they are described as msgA and msgB.
A single RACH procedure i may be used, and thus multiple RACH procedures in parallel may not be supported for NR-U. As a baseline, the random-access response to msg 1 may be on SpCell, and msg3 is assumed to use a predetermined HARQ ID.
In legacy RACH, the counters for preamble transmission and power ramping may be increased with every attempt. In NR-U, power ramping is not applied when preamble is not transmitted due to the possibility of LBT failure. As a result, this may require an indication from the physical layer to the MAC. In addition, ra-ResponseWindow may not be started when the preamble is not transmitted due to LBT failure. In addition, it is assumed that ra-ContentionResolutionTimer may need to be extended with larger values to overcome any impact to LBT.
For 2-step RACH procedure, the msgA may be a signal to detect the UE and a payload, while the second message is for contention resolution for CBRA with a possible payload, msgA may at least include the information equivalent to the information transmitted in msg3 for 4-step RACH procedure.
As a baseline, all of the triggers for 4-step RACH procedure may be applicable to 2-step RACH procedure. However, further analysis may be needed on one or more SI requests and BFR, as well as how timing advance and grants may be obtained for msgA. The contention resolution in 2-step RACH procedure may include a UE identifier in the first message, which is then included in the second message. The type of UE identifier may include FFS.
Fall-back from 2-step RACH procedure to 4-step RACH procedure may also be supported. The fallback after msgA transmission may be feasible only if detection of the UE without the decoding of the payload is possible, and thus relies on such support at the physical layer. If 2-step RACH procedure is used for initial access, the parameters for 2-step RACH procedure including resources for msgA may be broadcasted. It is noted that 2-step RACH procedure, if applied to a licensed operation, may not take LBT into account. As a result, due to the possible LBT failures, some data transmissions may fail when the channel is busy. For this, MAC may receive an indication from L 1 about the occurrence of an LBT failure.
Under 3GPP TR 38.889, a mechanism may be used for SS/PBCH block transmission to transmit SS/PBCH blocks dropped due to LBT failure. A mechanism may also be defined when specifications are developed for UE to determine the frame timing and QCL assumptions from the detected SS/PBCH block. For SS/PBCH block transmissions as part of DRS, it may be beneficial to expand the maximum number of candidate SS/PBCH block positions within the DRS transmission window to Y, for example, Y ≤ 64, where the choice of Y may depend on the numerology of the SS/PBCH blocks. The transmitted SS/PBCH blocks may not overlap, and the maximum number of transmitted SS/PBCH blocks may be expressed as X within DRS transmission window, with X ≤ 8. The time-domain positions of the actually transmitted SS/PBCH blocks may be selected from a set of Y candidate SS/PBCH block positions.
From the viewpoint of the user equipment, when the preamble transmission (msg1) fails due to LBT failure, the preamble transmission may be reattempted without increasing power ramping counters since no transmission occurred. However, various techniques may occur with respect to the UE retransmission (msg3) when LBT failure occurs. In contrast, from the viewpoint of the network entity, when msg3 is not received, the network entity is unaware whether the failure is due to LBT failure or due to a RAR/msg3 re-transmission grant which could not be received by the UE. For example, the downlink preferred beam may change suddenly between the preamble transmission and RAR reception, for example, due to a sudden obstacle, and the DL scheduling (PDCCH) , may not be decoded by the UE.
Certain embodiments described herein may enable UE behavior for deterministic transmission of msg3 for the NW, and every failure in decoding msg3 from the initial resources may be considered as DTX by NW. For example, it may be known whether it was a LBT failure, or RAR was not received by the UE, and/or the NW may know that the UE will immediately re-attempt transmission. As a result, the network entity may avoid sending useless re-transmission grants when the UE fails to receive the RAR, and/or may reduce latency for the RA procedure. Certain embodiments are, therefore, directed to improvements in computer-related technology, specifically, by preventing unnecessary retransmission, and allowing the UE to re-attempt transmission immediately without waiting for the contention resolution timer to expire, for example, in case the preferred beam indicated with the transmitted preamble is blocked. Certain embodiments may further conserve network resources and reduce power consumption of network entities and/or user equipment located within the network by reducing redundant operations.
FIG. 1 illustrates an example of a method performed by user equipment, such as user equipment 310 in FIG. 3. In step 101, the user equipment may detect at least one listen before talk failure associated with at least one initial transmission opportunity of a random access procedure message, such as msg3 of the 4-step RA procedure and/or msgA of the 2-step RA procedure. In step 103, the user equipment may designate at least one contention resolution as unsuccessful. In step 105, the user equipment may in response to at least one contention resolution being designated as unsuccessful, initiate at least one random access resource selection procedure. For example, the user equipment may immediately reattempt transmission of at least one preamble, such as msg1.
In some embodiments, the user equipment may have multiple transmission opportunities for the initial transmission of a random access procedure message, such as msg3 of the 4-step RA procedure and/or msgA of the 2-step RA procedure. For example, the multiple transmission opportunities may be received from at least one random access response (RAR) message sent by the network entity. In some examples, a RAR message may include at least one indication that the network entity will schedule further RAR messages configured to provide further transmission opportunities for the initial transmission of a random access procedure message.
In some embodiments, a power ramping counter may remain unchanged. Alternatively, the counter may be reduced by at least one offset, for example, the counter may be reduced by a fixed value, reduced by a value in a system information broadcast, and/or linked to a time elapsed between failure and new preamble transmission. In certain embodiments, the at least one offset may instead increase the power ramping counter, and/or may be a combination of at least one increasing offset and at least one decreasing offset. In certain embodiments, a contention resolution timer may be stopped, not started, and/or immediately considered as expired, which may lead to an increase of a preamble transmission counter. Alternatively, the preamble transmission counter may not be increased.
FIG. 2 illustrates an example of a method performed by user equipment, such as user equipment 310 in FIG. 3. In step 201, the user equipment may detect at least one listen before talk failure associated with at least one re-transmission opportunity of a random access procedure message. In step 203, the user equipment may designate at least one contention resolution as unsuccessful based on at least trigger condition. In one non-limiting example the user equipment may also restart at least one contention resolution timer. In step 205, the user equipment may in response to at least on contention resolution being designated as unsuccessful, initiate at least one random selection procedure. In one non-limiting example the user equipment may also decode at least one physical downlink control channel for further analysis. Same non-limiting examples as applied with FIG. 1 can be applied also to FIG. 2 when applicable.
In some embodiments, at least one trigger condition may be configured. In a sample embodiment, a network entity may configure the user equipment with the at least one trigger condition as maximum number of re-transmission attempts due to LBT failures after which the user equipment in response may designate at least one contention resolution as unsuccessful. In response to the at least one trigger condition occurring, the user equipment may initiate a new random access resource selection procedure. In another sample embodiment, the at least one trigger condition may be according to an indication in a re-transmission grant. For example, if a LBT fails during the re-transmission grant, the user equipment may initiate a new random access resource selection procedure. In certain embodiments, the re-transmission attempts associated with LBT failures may or may not be consecutive re-transmission attempts.
In some embodiments, at least one preamble/power ramping counter may be incremented by one for each contention resolution failure, for example, due to collision. Alternatively or additionally, the re-transmission random access channel transmission opportunity may apply to at least one msg3 re-transmission failure due to LBT, such as where the UE immediately re-attempts transmission of the preamble, with or without power ramping.
