Original Abstract Submitted
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to devices, methods, apparatuses and computer readable storage media of enhanced blind retransmission scheme. The method comprises: receiving, at a first device and from a second device, a configuration for determining a target offset associated with a contention resolution timer for a random access procedure; determining the target offset based on the configuration; transmitting, to the second device, a message associated with the random access procedure, the message comprising an identity of the first device for random access; and controlling a starting and termination of the contention resolution timer based on the target offset and the transmission of the message. In this way, the blind retransmission of MSG3 can be supported in the random access procedure through controlling a starting and termination of the contention resolution timer based on the transmission of the message and an offset, which is beneficial to the NTN.
