Claim 0:
1. An apparatus, comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one memory including computer program code,
wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
transmit a configuration for uplink physical random access channel transmissions, wherein the configuration comprises an indication of one or more conditions for applying short control signaling exemption to the uplink physical random access channel transmissions; and
receive the uplink physical random access channel transmissions, wherein
the one or more conditions comprise at least one of:
whether the short control signaling exemption can be applied to one or more random access channel occasions,
a decision threshold comprising a value between 0 and 1, the value represents a statistical share of random access channel occasions for which the short control signaling exemption can be applied,
a failure of a listen before talk procedure or a failure of a physical random access channel transmission during a time period,
whether an uplink physical random access channel transmission is an initial transmission or a retransmission, or
whether a bitmap indicates that the short control signaling exemption can be applied to the uplink physical random access channel transmissions.
