Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a message that indicates a first initial uplink bandwidth part for use by the UE in communications with a network entity, the message also indicating a plurality of random access occasions, at least one of the plurality of random access occasions being in frequency resources that are outside of the first initial uplink bandwidth part. The UE may select a random access occasion of the plurality of random access occasions for transmission of a random access preamble from the UE to the network entity. The UE may transmit, as part of a random access procedure, the random access preamble within the random access occasion.
