RANDOM ACCESS PROCEDURE BASED ON TWO-STEP RANDOM ACCESS CHANNEL PROCEDURE AND FOUR-STEP RANDOM ACCESS CHANNEL PROCEDURE

摘要

Apparatus, methods, and computer-readable media for performing random access procedures based on two-step random access channel procedures and four-step random access channel procedures are disclosed herein. An example method for wireless communication at a User Equipment (UE) includes determining that a fallback timer associated with a two-step random access procedure is configured for the UE. The example method also includes generating a random access message based at least on the determining. The random access message may be one of a first-type random access message associated with a four-step random access procedure and including a preamble or a second-type random access message associated with the two-step random access procedure and including the preamble and a payload. Further, the example method includes performing a random access attempt by transmitting, to a base station, the random access message.
