    Abstract: In example an embodiment, according to the method, a timer is started to monitor selection of a RA resource in response to a RA procedure for accessing a network device being initiated. The timer is configured with expiration time. The timer is stopped in response to a RA resource being selected for transmitting a RA preamble to the network device. A preamble transmission counter is incremented in response to the timer expiring. The preamble transmission counter records the number of transmitted RA preambles. A failure of the RA procedure is indicated in response to the incremented preamble transmission counter exceeding a threshold. The embodiment enables completion of the RA procedure regardless of an out of coverage situation where no beam is available to be selected for transmitting a RA preamble.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods and devices for transmission by selecting between uplink resources. According to a method implemented by a terminal device in a communication system, a configuration of a first resource is received from a network device, the first resource being a grant-free resource. An uplink grant is received from the network device, indicating a second resource for use in a transmission time interval. The terminal device determines, based on the configuration of the first resource, whether the first resource is available in the transmission time interval. In response to determining that the first resource is available and possibly in response to a predefined condition associated with a logical channel for the terminal device is met, the terminal device transmits uplink data to the network device using the first resource.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to devices, methods, apparatuses and computer readable storage media of resource configuration for transmission of DMRS. The method comprises receiving, from a second device, information associated with a set of resources for monitoring a control channel between the first device and the second device for a Small Data Transmission (SDT) procedure, between the first device and the second device; monitoring the control channel based on the information; and performing the SDT based on a result of the monitoring procedure. In this way, the terminal device may determine a set of resources for the PDCCH monitoring for the SDT and therefore the blocking probability in the common search space can be avoid and the system efficiency can be improved.
