Claim 13:
14. A method of performing wireless communications, the method comprising:
receiving, by a user equipment (UE) from a base station, a Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) configuration that utilizes an interlace structure the PRACH configuration corresponding to a PRACH channel that is allocated to multiple spaced resource blocks of the interlace structure in a frequency domain;
receiving, by the UE from the base station, a configuration of one or more uplink channels to rate match one or more resource elements of the one or more uplink channels that are adjacent to the PRACH channel on a first symbol of the PRACH channel, a last symbol of the PRACH channel, or a combination thereof; and
transmitting the one or more uplink channels using rate matching and the interlace structure to interlace the one or more uplink channels with the PRACH channel in the frequency domain, the rate matching comprising transmitting an extended cyclic prefix or an extended cyclic postfix of a neighboring symbol in place of the one or more uplink channels on the first symbol, the last symbol, or a combination thereof.
