METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR TIME-DOMAIN PRACH RESOURCE DETERMINATION IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17598038 titled 'METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR TIME-DOMAIN PRACH RESOURCE DETERMINATION IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION

Simplified Explanation

- The patent application describes methods and apparatus for determining time-domain PRACH resources in wireless communication. - It introduces a New Radio (NR) Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) configuration that includes information about when a User Equipment (UE) is allowed to transmit a PRACH preamble and the type of preamble format. - The application proposes determining a PRACH resource based on the received PRACH configuration, which includes RACH resource occasions (ROs) with gaps in between. - The PRACH procedure is initiated by transmitting the PRACH preamble on a RO based on the determined PRACH resource to a base station (BS). - The innovation aims to improve the efficiency and reliability of PRACH transmissions in wireless communication systems.


Original Abstract Submitted

Disclosed are methods and apparatus for determining time-domain PRACH resources in wireless communication. A New Radio (NR) Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) configuration comprising an indication of a time-domain PRACH resource type to determine when the UE is allowed to transmit a PRACH preamble and a type of preamble format may be received. Additionally, a PRACH resource based on the received PRACH configuration to transmit the PRACH preamble, wherein the PRACH resource includes RACH resource occasions (ROs) with gaps in between may be determined. Thereafter, a PRACH procedure may be initiated by transmitting the PRACH preamble on a RO based on the determined PRACH resource to a base station (BS).
