Unanswered Questions

How does the two-step RA procedure improve the efficiency of random access in 5G networks?

The two-step RA procedure is designed to optimize the random access process by taking into account the DL RSRP of the serving cell. By determining whether the DL RSRP is greater than a threshold, the terminal can perform the RA procedure more efficiently, leading to faster and more reliable connections.

What are the specific technical challenges in integrating 5G communication systems with IoT technologies?

Integrating 5G communication systems with IoT technologies presents challenges such as ensuring compatibility, managing large amounts of data generated by IoT devices, and maintaining security and privacy in interconnected networks. Addressing these challenges is crucial for the successful deployment of advanced IoT services in the 5G era.


Original Abstract Submitted

A communication method and system for converging a fifth generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a fourth generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of things (IoT) are provided. The communication method and system may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. A method by a terminal configured with at least one serving cell for performing a random access (RA) procedure is provided. The method includes measuring downlink reference signal received power (DL RSRP) of a serving cell on which the RA procedure is initiated, determining whether the DL RSRP of the serving cell is greater than a threshold, and performing a two-step RA procedure based on the DL RSRP of the serving cell being greater than the threshold.
