Original Abstract Submitted
Methods and apparatuses for beam determination in random access in a wireless communication system a method performed by a user equipment (UE) includes receiving a system information block (SIB) indicating a first number of spatial settings, a set of random access channel occasions (ROs), and a set of numbers of repetitions for transmission of a physical random access channel (PRACH). The method further includes determining a number of repetitions, from the set of numbers of repetitions, for the PRACH transmission, a subset of ROs, from the set of ROs, corresponding to the number of repetitions, and a set of spatial settings having a one-to-one association with the subset of ROs based on a mapping between the first number of spatial settings and a number of ROs in the subset of ROs. The method further includes transmitting the PRACH over the subset of ROs using the set of spatial settings.
