    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: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for user equipment are provided. A method may include determining to transmit, upon data arrival on a logical channel, the data on a configured grant for the logical channel. The method may also include transmitting, based on the determination, the data on the configured grant to activate a cell. In an example embodiment, the transmission on the configured grant may be performed regardless of a current activation status of the cell for which the configured grant is configured, or a suspend status of the configured grant.

    Abstract: Various communication systems may benefit from the appropriate handling of scheduling requests. For example, certain wireless communication systems may benefit from a scheduling request procedure involving multiple scheduling request configurations. A method can include transmitting, by a device, a first scheduling request at a first time. The method can also include setting, by the device, a timer from the first time prohibiting subsequent scheduling requests for a predetermined duration based on the transmission of the first scheduling request. The method can further include Identifying, by the device, a trigger for a new scheduling request subsequent to the first scheduling request. The method can additionally include modifying the timer based on the new scheduling request.

    Abstract: Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a solution for determining a contention resolution timer. In an aspect, a first device receives, from a second device, an indication to perform Msg3 transmission. The first device transmits, to the second device, information of the first device for contention resolution. In case a configuration of a 4-step random access channel is unavailable in an active bandwidth part for the first device, the first device determines a duration for monitoring a contention resolution message based on one of: a first configuration of a 2-step random access channel in the active bandwidth part, or a second configuration of a 4-step random access channel in a bandwidth part different from the active bandwidth part. Example embodiments of the present disclosure can improve the performance of a random access procedure.

    Abstract: A method is provided including determining a mapping of a scheduling request to one or more logical channels configured for a user equipment; in response to a received scheduling request, allocating an uplink radio resource such that a transmission time interval of the allocated uplink radio resource has a length corresponding to length of a transmission time interval configured for the mapped one or more logical channels; and receiving data on the allocated uplink radio resource. A further method includes transmitting a scheduling request mapped to one or more logical channels configured for a user equipment; receiving an allocation of an uplink radio resource wherein a transmission time interval of the allocated uplink radio resource has a length corresponding to length of a transmission time interval configured for the mapped one or more logical channels; and sending data on the allocated uplink radio resource.
