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.
