Claim 6:
7. A method performed by a network node, comprising:
determining an interlace configuration for uplink shared channel transmission of a terminal device in a two-step contention-free random access procedure; and
receiving the uplink shared channel transmission from the terminal device in the two-step contention-free random access procedure, according to the determined interlace configuration; transmitting dedicated signaling to the terminal device to indicate the determined interlace configuration; wherein the dedicated signaling includes one or more of:
a start interlace index for an interlace or a set of interlaces allocated for the uplink shared channel transmission;
a number of consecutive interlaces allocated for the uplink shared channel transmission; and
a dedicated flag indicating whether to enable interlaced resource allocation for the uplink shared channel transmission in the two-step contention-free random access procedure.
