Patent ID: 10674544

Abstract:
A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may transmit a preamble using a physical random access channel (PRACH) and determine a location of a random access response (RAR) based on a parameter of the PRACH. The location may include a subframe and/or a frequency resource on which the RAR is transmitted. The RAR may be received at the location. A device may receive a preamble using a PRACH associated with a coverage enhancement (CE) level and/or a CE mode of a WTRU. The device may determine a location of an RAR based on a parameter of the PRACH. The location may include a subframe and/or a frequency resource on which the RAR is to be transmitted. The device may determine a number of repetitions of the RAR to transmit based on the CE level or CE mode. The RAR may be transmitted at the location with the determined number of repetitions.
