UPLINK TRANSMISSION PARAMETER SELECTION DURING RANDOM ACCESS MESSAGE TRANSMISSION AND RETRANSMISSION
First Claim
1. A method for wireless communication, comprising:
- identifying a first uplink transmission beam for a random access procedure;
transmitting, at a first uplink transmission power, a random access preamble based at least in part on the first uplink transmission beam;
receiving a random access response message transmitted from a base station in response to the random access preamble;
identifying a second uplink transmission beam;
selecting a second uplink transmission power based at least in part on a path loss associated with the random access procedure and the identified second uplink transmission beam; and
transmitting, to the base station, a connection request based at least in part on the second uplink transmission power and the second uplink transmission beam.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described for selecting different uplink transmission parameters for transmission or retransmission of a random access message. A user equipment (UE) may transmit or retransmit a random access message such as a layer 2 or layer 3 (L2/L3) message to a base station during a random access procedure. The UE may select a transmission beam, uplink resource or transmission power for the transmission of the L2/L3 message that differ from those used for transmission of a previous random access message. The selection may be based on path loss associated with synchronization signals or previous transmissions. The selection may also be based on a maximum number of retransmissions.

15. A method for wireless communication, comprising:
-
transmitting a random access preamble as part of a random access procedure; receiving a random access response message transmitted from a base station in response to the random access preamble; identifying a first uplink transmission beam and a first uplink transmission power; transmitting, to the base station, a connection request based at least in part on the random access response message, the connection request being transmitted using the first uplink transmission beam and at the first uplink transmission power; identifying a second uplink transmission beam different from the first uplink transmission beam; selecting a second uplink transmission power based at least in part on a path loss associated with the random access procedure and the identified second uplink transmission beam; and retransmitting the connection request based at least in part on the second uplink transmission power and the second uplink transmission beam. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A method for wireless communication, comprising:
-
receiving, at a first uplink transmission power and over a first random access resource, a random access preamble transmitted from a user equipment (UE) over a first uplink transmission beam; transmit a random access response message in response to the random access preamble; receiving a connection request based at least in part on the random access response message; transmitting, to the UE, a signal indicating the UE to ramp up transmit power, select a different random access resource, or both; and receiving at a second uplink transmission power, a second random access resource, or both, the retransmitted random access preamble or connection request based at least in part on an absence of a response to the random access preamble or connection request, wherein the second uplink transmission power is ramped up from the first uplink transmission power, and wherein the retransmission is in accordance with a maximum retransmission number associated with the random access preamble or connection request.

21. An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
-
a processor; memory in electronic communication with the processor; and instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to; identify a first uplink transmission beam for a random access procedure; transmit, at a first uplink transmission power, a random access preamble based at least in part on the first uplink transmission beam; receive a random access response message transmitted from a base station in response to the random access preamble; identify a second uplink transmission beam; select a second uplink transmission power based at least in part on a path loss associated with the random access procedure and the identified second uplink transmission beam; and transmit, to the base station, a connection request based at least in part on the second uplink transmission power and the second uplink transmission beam. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
