Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 21:
22. A network entity for wireless communication, comprising:
a memory; and
one or more processors, coupled to the memory, configured to:
determine a time gap value associated with a random access channel (RACH) procedure, wherein the time gap value is different than a stored time gap value associated with the RACH procedure, the time gap value being based at least in part on a multiplexing capability of the network entity, the multiplexing capability of the network entity being at least one of:
a full duplex capability of the network entity, or
a spatial diversity, at the network entity, of a transmit beam and a receive beam for a RACH resource associated with the RACH procedure;

transmit an indication of the time gap value associated with the RACH procedure based at least in part on determining the time gap value associated with the RACH procedure and replacing the stored time gap value with the determined time gap value; and
selectively receive, from a user equipment (UE), a physical RACH (PRACH) transmission in a PRACH occasion based at least in part on a determination by the UE of whether the PRACH occasion is valid, wherein the determination by the UE of whether the PRACH occasion is valid is based at least in part on the time gap value associated with the RACH procedure and a quantity of symbols between an ending symbol of a last synchronization signal block (SSB) and a starting symbol of the PRACH occasion satisfying the determined time gap value.
