A user equipment (UE) may receive, from a network entity, a synchronization signal block (SSB) message. The UE may measure the SSB message in order to determine signal metric, such as reference signal received power (RSRP). Based on the RSRP of the SSB, the UE may determine to transmit a set of repetitions of a random access request. The UE may then monitor a resource of a downlink control channel for a random access response from the network entity.
