Abstract
Un équipement utilisateur (UE) configuré pour fonctionner dans un système (5 GS) New Radio de cinquième génération (5G NR) doit effectuer une procédure d'accès aléatoire avec un nœud B de nouvelle génération (gNB). L'UE peut être configuré pour coder un préambule de canal physique d'accès aléatoire (PRACH) pour une transmission en liaison montante et décoder une réponse d'accès aléatoire (RAR) provenant du gNB. Pour une occasion de PRACH partagé (RO), l'UE peut effectuer la procédure d'accès aléatoire en utilisant différents préambules PRACH pour différencier une transmission de petites données (SDT) d'une opération non SDT.
