    摘要: According to some embodiments, a method in a wireless device of performing random access comprises receiving a random access configuration. The random access configuration comprises one or more associations of a synchronization signal block (SSB), a preamble sequence, and physical random access channel (PRACH) configuration resources. The PRACH resources comprise time domain resources and frequency domain resources. The method further comprises receiving one or more SSBs; selecting one of the one or more received SSBs; and selecting a preamble sequence. The preamble sequence is associated with the selected SSB in the random access configuration. The method further comprises transmitting the selected preamble sequence on PRACH resources associated with the selected SSB in the random access configuration. In particular embodiments, more than one SSB is associated with identical PRACH resources, and the preamble sequence associated with each of the more than one SSBs identifies the SSB with respect to the PRACH resources.

    摘要: In accordance with particular embodiments, there is disclosed herein a method performed by a wireless device for handover. The method comprises receiving a first handover message from a source network node associated with a source cell. The first handover message comprises an identification of a target cell and access information associated with the target cell. The target cell is different than the source cell and comprises one or more beams. The method also includes identifying at least one beam from among the one or more beams of the target cell. The at least one beam is identified based on the identification of the target cell and the access information from the first handover message. The method further includes accessing the target cell using the identified at least one beam.

    摘要: A method and apparatus according to the present invention addresses and/or prevents lost protocol synchronization in HARQ systems caused by ACK/NACK errors. One embodiment detects lost synchronization errors for NDI-based retransmission protocols and restores synchronization by sending an explicit RESET message. In response to the RESET message, the transmitter aborts the transmission of a current PDU and transmits a new PDU and corresponding NDI. Another embodiment prevents protocol synchronization errors by sending scheduling grants on a packet by packet basis. The receiver sends a subsequent explicit scheduling grant to the transmitter based on an error evaluation of a received PDU. The transmitter will not send the next PDU unless it receives the subsequent explicit scheduling grant.
