Assignee: QUALCOMM INCORPORATED
Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 16:
17. An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
means for determining whether to transmit a first type of random access transmission for a four-step random access procedure or to transmit a second type of random access transmission for a two-step random access procedure based at least in part on whether a channel condition satisfies a threshold,
wherein the first type of random access transmission for the four-step random access procedure includes a first preamble, and
wherein the second type of random access transmission for the two-step random access procedure includes a second preamble and a random access message, and

means for transmitting the first type of random access transmission for the four-step random access procedure or the second preamble of the second type of random access transmission for the two-step random access procedure within a random access channel portion of a slot,
wherein a first resource allocation of the random access channel portion of the slot includes resource allocations for the first type of random access transmission for the four-step random access procedure, and
wherein a second resource allocation of the random access channel portion of the slot includes a shared resource allocation of units for the first preamble and the second preamble,
wherein the first preamble is different from the second preamble, and
wherein the second resource allocation is different from the first resource allocation.
