    摘要: A method, apparatus, and a computer-readable storage medium for beam refinement of a two-step random access channel (RACH) procedure are provided. In some implementations, the method may include receiving a plurality of synchronization signal blocks (SSBs), a plurality of channel state information-reference signals (CSI-RSs) associated with each of the plurality of synchronization signal blocks (SSBs), and random access channel (RACH) configuration data from a gNB. The method may further include transmitting a first message of the two-step random access channel (RACH) procedure to the gNB, the first message including a first portion and a second portion. The first portion includes a preamble associated with a selected channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) of the plurality of channel state information-reference signals (CSI-RSs) and the second portion includes data associated with the preamble, and the data transmitted using pre-configured or pre-allocated resources.

    摘要: Various communication systems may benefit from improved cell selection. For example, it may be helpful to improve cell selection in new radio systems based on individual synchronization signal blocks meeting specific thresholds. A method may include measuring at a user equipment a cell quality of one or more cells. The method may also include detecting at the user equipment synchronization signal blocks in the one or more cells. In addition, the method may include determining at the user equipment that the synchronization signal blocks do not meet a random access channel resource selection threshold. Further, the method may include selecting at the user equipment only random access channel resources that correspond to the synchronization signal blocks meeting a cell selection threshold.

    摘要: Certain embodiments may relate to communication systems, and, for example, some embodiments may relate to beamforming techniques. According to an embodiment, a method may include, for each PDCCH search space candidate, one or more UE beams may be configured and/or assigned that correspond to one or more of the configured beam pairs. For each PDCCH search space candidate, one or more beam pairs, based on one or more corresponding downlink RS for beam management, may correspond to a configured UE beam. The UE may detect a PDCCH. Upon detecting a PDCCH, the UE can identify one or more configured beam pairs or a default beam pair within the PDCCH search space candidates.
