UPPER LINK TRANSMISSION PARAMETER SELECTION FOR TRANSMISSION AND RETRANSMISSION OF INITIAL RANDOM ACCESS MESSAGE
CROSSED REFERENCES [0001] This Patent Application claims priority to Patent Application η ^Ω US 15 / 807,132 by Islam et al., Entitled Uplink Transmission Parameter Selection for Random Access Initial Message Transmission and Retransmission, filed on November 8, 2017 ; and Provisional Patent Application η ^Ω US 62 / 435,463 by Islam et al., entitled Uplink Transmission Parameter Selection for Random Access Initial Message Transmission and Retransmission, filed on December 16, 2016; each of which is attributed to the assignee of the same.
BACKGROUND [0002] The following refers, in general, to wireless communication and, more specifically, to the selection of an uplink transmission parameter for transmission or retransmission of an initial random access message.
[0003] Wireless communications systems are widely installed to provide various types of communication content such as voice, video, data packets, messages, broadcast, and so on. These systems may be able to support communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (for example, time, frequency and power). Examples of such multiple access systems include code division multiple access (CDMA) systems,
Petition 870190050741, of 05/30/2019, p. 8/129
2/93 time division multiple access systems (TDMA), frequency division multiple access systems (FDMA) and orthogonal frequency division multiple access systems (OFDMA), (for example, a Long Evolution system (LTE) or a New Radio (NR) system). A wireless multiple access communications system can include numerous base stations or access network nodes, each simultaneously supporting communication to multiple communication devices, which may otherwise be known as user equipment (UE) .
[0004] In some wireless systems, an UE can use a directional transmission to gain access to a medium. In some cases, the UE may retransmit the directional transmission if the UE does not receive an adequate response from a base station (for example, due to interference, the base station may not receive the transmission from the UE). However, retransmission of directional transmission in the same direction and using the same resources may not improve the probability of receiving at the base station.
SUMMARY [0005] The techniques described refer to improved methods, systems, devices, or devices that support uplink transmission parameter selection for the initial random access transmission or retransmission message. In a wireless communications system, such as a millimeter wave system (mmWP), a base station and user equipment (UE) can use directional transmissions during a random access channel (RACK) procedure. In some cases, after the transmission of an initial RACK message

3/93 directional, the UE may not receive an appropriate response from a base station and can then retransmit the initial directional RACK message, which can be referred to as a directional RACK request message. During retransmission, the UE can select different parameters (for example, transmit power, RACK resources, beam) than those used in an initial transmission or in previous transmissions (for example, if the UE is retransmitting multiple times). In a system with beam reciprocity, the UE can select parameters based on an estimated loss of path and a number of retransmissions. In some cases, the UE may have maximum numbers of retransmissions associated with a RACK resource, a beam, a transmission power, or a combination thereof. In a system without beam reciprocity, the UE can select the parameters based on the estimated path loss and a maximum difference in arrangement gain for the base station between uplink and downlink beams.

The method may include identifying a first uplink transmission beam for a random access procedure, transmitting a random access message to a base station using the first uplink transmission beam, selecting a second transmission beam uplink transmission based, at least in part, on the absence of a random access response from the base station that corresponds to the random access message transmitted using the first link transmission beam

DETAILED DESCRIPTION [0058] In a wireless communications system, such as millimeter wave (mmW) or a new radio system (NR), a base station and user equipment (UE) can use random access channel transmissions
Petition 870190050741, of 05/30/2019, p. 12/28
22/93 directional (RACK) during a random access procedure. The base station can transmit multiple synchronization signals during a synchronization subframe. For example, the synchronization subframe can contain a number of symbols (for example, 14 symbols) and the base station can transmit a directional synchronization signal on each symbol. Each directional sync signal can be transmitted in a different direction. The UE can receive one or more directional synchronization signals, and can determine a RACK resource and an uplink transmission beam for a directional RACK request message transmission, which can be transmitted to gain initial network access. The base station can try to listen for signals (for example, a RACK request message, a random access message, a Message 1 (Msgl) transmission) in different directions and different time partitions and if the base station receives, successfully, a directional RACK request message from a UE, the base station can transmit a directional RACK response message to the UE in response to the RACK request message.
[0059] In some cases, the UE may not receive a directional RACK response message from the base station. For example, the directional RACK request message may not be received successfully at the base station, and then the base station may not transmit a response to the UE. In such cases, the UE can select different parameters for a relay of the directional RACK request message and the UE can relay the directional RACK request message to the station

23/93 base (for example, after a predetermined period of time has passed). In some cases, the UE may determine to adjust the retransmission power or avoid the previously failed symbol or beam. For example, the UE may select a transmission power, RACK resource, or beam other than that used in the previous transmission (or transmissions) or retransmission (or retransmissions). In some cases, the UE may retransmit the directional RACK request message using the same power increase value (for example, based on the same power increase counter value) as the previous transmission or retransmission with based on the selection of the different RACK resource or different uplink transmission beam.
[0060] The aspects of disclosure are initially described in the context of wireless communications systems. Additional aspects of the disclosure are described in relation to synchronization features and a process flow. Additional aspects of the disclosure are further illustrated and described with reference to the device diagrams, system diagrams, and flowcharts that refer to the uplink transmission parameter selection for the initial random access message.
[0061] Figure 1 illustrates an example of a wireless communications system 100 that supports uplink transmission parameter selection for an initial random access message in accordance with various aspects of the present disclosure. The wireless communications system 100 includes base stations 105, UEs 115 and a network of
Petition 870190050741, of 05/30/2019, p. 12/30
24/93 core 130. In some instances, wireless communications system 100 may be a Long Term Evolution (LTE) or Advanced LTE (LTE-A) network or an NR network. In some cases, the wireless communications system 100 can support enhanced broadband communications, ultra-reliable communications (i.e., mission critical), low latency communications, and communications with low cost and low complexity devices.
[0062] Base stations 105 can communicate wirelessly with UEs 115 through one or more base station antennas. Each base station 105 can provide communication coverage for a respective geographic coverage area 110. The communication links 125 shown in wireless communication system 100 can include uplink transmissions from an UE 115 to a base station 105 or downlink transmissions, from a base station 105 to a UE 115. Control information and data can be multiplexed on an uplink channel or downlink channel according to various techniques. Control information and data can be multiplexed on a downlink channel, for example, using time division multiplexing (TDM) techniques, frequency division multiplexing (FDM) techniques or TDM- Hybrid FDMs. In some examples, control information transmitted during a transmission time interval (TTI) of a downlink channel can be distributed between different control regions in a cascade manner (for example, between a common control region and a or more regions of

25/93 control specific to the EU).
[0063] UEs 115 can be dispersed throughout the wireless communication system 100, and each UE 115 can be stationary or mobile. A UE 115 can also be referred to as a mobile station, a subscriber station, a mobile unit, a subscriber unit, a wireless unit, a remote unit, a mobile device, a wireless device, a wireless communications device , a remote device, a mobile subscriber station, an access terminal, a mobile terminal, a wireless terminal, a remote terminal, a handset, a user agent, a mobile client, a customer or some other suitable terminology. An UE 115 can also be a cell phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a wireless modem, a wireless communication device, a portable device, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a cordless phone , a personal electronic device, a portable device, a personal computer, a wireless local loop station (WLL), an Internet of Things (loT) device, an Internet of Everything (loE) device, a machine (MTC), an instrument, an automobile, or the like.
[0064] In some cases, a UE 115 may also be able to communicate directly with other UEs (for example, using a peer-to-peer (P2P) or device to device (D2D) protocol). One or more of a group of UEs 115 using D2D communications may be within the coverage area 110 of a cell. Other UEs 115 in such a group may be outside coverage area 110 of a cell or otherwise unable to receive
Petition 870190050741, of 05/30/2019, p. 12/29
26/93 transmissions from a base station 105. In some cases, groups of UEs 115 communicating via D2D communications can use a one to many (1: M) system in which each UE 115 transmits to each other EU 115 in the group. In some cases, a base station 105 makes it easy to program resources for D2D communications. In other cases, D2D communications are performed independently of a base station 105.
[0065] Some UEs 115, such as MTC or loT devices, can be low-cost or low-complexity devices, and can provide automated communication between machines, that is, machine-to-machine (M2M) communication. M2M or MTC can refer to data communication technologies that allow devices to communicate with each other or with a base station without human intervention. For example, M2M or MTC can refer to the communications of devices that integrate sensors or meters to measure or capture information and rely on the information for a central server or application program that can make use of the information or present the information to humans that interact with the program or application. Some 115 UEs can be designed to collect information or enable automated machine behavior. Examples of applications for MTC devices include smart metering, inventory monitoring, water level monitoring, equipment monitoring, health service monitoring, wildlife monitoring, geological and climate event monitoring, fleet management and tracking, remote security detection, access control

27/93 physical, and transaction-based business loading.
[0066] In some cases, an MTC device may operate using half-duplex (one-way) communications at a reduced peak rate. MTC devices can also be configured to enter a power-saving deep sleep mode when it does not engage active communications. In some cases, MTC or loT devices can be designed to support mission-critical functions and the wireless communications system can be configured to provide ultra-reliable communications for those functions.
[0067] The base stations 105 can communicate with the main network 130 and with another one. For example, base stations 105 can interface with main network 130 through backhaul links 132 (e.g., SI, etc.). Base stations 105 can communicate with each other via backhaul links 134 (for example, X2, etc.) either directly or indirectly (for example, through main network 130). Base stations 105 can perform radio and programming configuration for communication with UEs 115, or they can operate under the control of a base station controller (not shown). In some examples, base stations 105 may be macrocells, small cells, access points, or the like. Base stations 105 can also be referred to as eNodeBs (eNBs) 105.
[0068] A base station 105 can be connected via an SI interface to the main network 130. The main network 130 can be an evolved packet core (EPC), which can include at least one management entity
Petition 870190050741, of 05/30/2019, p. 12/29
28/93 mobility (MME), at least one server communication port (S-GW), and at least one Packet Data Network Communication Port (PDN) (P-GW). The MME can be the control node that processes the signaling between the UE 115 and the EPC. All user internet protocol (IP) packets can be transferred via S-GW, which can itself be connected to P-GW. P-GW can provide IP address allocation as well as other functions. PGW can be connected to the IP services of network operators. Operator IP services may include the Internet, an Intranet, an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) and / or a Packet Switched Streaming Service (PSS).
[0069] The wireless communications system 100 can operate in an ultra-high frequency (UHF) frequency region using frequency bands from 700 MHz to 2,600 MHz (2.6 GHz), although in some cases , wireless local area networks (WLANs) can use frequencies as high as 4 GHz. This region can also be known as the decimetric band, since the wavelength range of approximately one decimeter to one meter in length. UHF waves can propagate mainly by line of sight, and can be blocked by construction and environmental resources. However, the waves can penetrate walls sufficiently to provide service to the 115 internally located UEs. UHF wave transmission is characterized by smaller antennas and shorter range (for example, less than 100 km) compared to transmission using the lower frequencies (and longer waves) of the high frequency (HF) portion or
Petition 870190050741, of 05/30/2019, p. 12/35
29/93 very high frequency (VHF) of the spectrum. In some cases, the wireless communications system 100 may also use extremely high frequency (EHF) portions of the spectrum (for example, from 30 GHz to 300 GHz). This region can also be known as the millimeter band, since the wavelength range of approximately one millimeter to one centimeter in length. Thus, EHF antennas can be even smaller and more closely spaced than UHF antennas. In some cases, this may facilitate the use of antenna arrays on an UE 115 (for example, for directional beam formation). However, EHF transmissions can be subjected to even greater atmospheric attenuation and shorter range than UHF transmissions.
[0070] Thus, the wireless communications system 100 can support mmW communications between UEs 115 and base stations 105. Devices operating in mmW or EHF bands can have multiple antennas to allow beam formation. That is, a base station 105 can use multiple antennas or antenna arrays to conduct beamform operations for directional communications with a UE 115. Beam formation (which can also be referred to as a filtering transmission or spatial direction) is a signal processing technique that can be used on a transmitter (for example, a 105 base station) to shape and / or direct a general antenna beam towards a target receiver (for example, a UE 115) . This can be achieved by combining elements in an antenna array in such a way that signals transmitted at specific angles experience constructive interference while others experience destructive interference.
Petition 870190050741, of 05/30/2019, p. 12/36
30/93 [0071] Wireless multiple input and multiple output (MFMO) systems use a transmission scheme between a transmitter (for example, a base station 105) and a receiver (for example, a UE 115), in which both the transmitter and receiver are equipped with multiple antennas. Some portions of the wireless communication system 100 may use beamforming. For example, base station 105 may have an array of antennas with a number of rows and columns of antenna ports that base station 105 can use for beaming in its communication with UE 115. Signals can be transmitted several times in different directions (for example, each transmission may be formed by different beams). An mmW receiver (for example, a UE 115) can attempt multiple beams (for example, antenna subarrays) while receiving the synchronization signals.
[0072] In some cases, the antennas of a 105 or UE 115 base station may be located within one or more antenna arrays, which can withstand beam formation or MIMO operation. One or more base station antennas or antenna arrays can be placed in an antenna mount, such as an antenna tower. In some cases, the antennas or antenna arrays associated with a base station 105 may be located in several geographic locations. A base station 105 can use multiple antennas or antenna arrays to conduct beamforming operations for directional communications with an UE 115.
[0073] In some cases, wireless communication system 100 may be a network based on
Petition 870190050741, of 05/30/2019, p. 37/129
31/93 package that operates according to a layered protocol stack. At the user level, communications at the carrier or Packet Convergence Protocol (PDCP) layer can be IP based. A Radio Link Control (RLC) layer can, in some cases, perform packet segmentation and reassembly to communicate through logical channels. A Medium Access Control (MAC) layer can perform priority handling and multiplexing of logical channels in transport channels. The MAC layer can also use hybrid automatic retry (HARQ) requests to provide retransmission at the MAC layer to improve link efficiency. In the control plane, the Radio Resource Control (RRC) protocol layer can provide for the establishment, configuration and maintenance of an RRC connection between a UE 115 and a network device (for example, a 105 base station) or main network 130 that supports radio bearers for user plan data. Physical layer
(PHY), the channels transport can be mapped for the channels physicists.[0074] The intervals weather in LTE or NR can be express multiples within a unit in time basic (that it may be a period sampling from T s ^-
1 / 30.720.000 seconds). Time resources can be organized according to 10 ms radio frames (T _f = 307200T _s ), which can be identified by a system frame number (SFN) ranging from 0 to 1,023. Each frame can include ten sub-frames of 1 ms numbered from 0 to 9. One sub-frame can be further divided into two 0.5 ms partitions, each of which can contain 6
Petition 870190050741, of 05/30/2019, p. 12/38
32/93 or 7 modulation symbol periods (depending on the duration of the desired cyclic prefix for each symbol). Excluding the cyclic prefix, each symbol contains 2,048 sample periods. In some cases, the subframe may be the smallest programming unit, also known as a TTI. In other cases, a TTI may be shorter than a subframe or may be dynamically selected (for example, in short TTI flashes (sTTI) or in selected component carriers using sTTIs).
[0075] A feature element can consist of a symbol period and a subcarrier (for example, a frequency range of 15 KHz). A resource block can contain 12 consecutive subcarriers in the frequency domain and, for a normal cyclic prefix in each orthogonal frequency division (OFDM) multiplexing symbol, 7 consecutive OFDM symbols in the time domain (1 partition) or 84 elements appeal. The number of bits loaded by each feature element may depend on the modulation scheme (the configuration of the symbols that can be selected during each symbol period). Thus, the more resource blocks that an UE 115 receives and the larger the modulation scheme, the higher the data rate can be.
[0076] In some cases, the wireless communications system 100 may use enhanced component carriers (eCCs). An eCC can be characterized by one or more features that include: wider bandwidth, shorter symbol duration, shorter TTIs and modified control channel configuration. In some cases, an eCC can be associated with an
Petition 870190050741, of 05/30/2019, p. 12/39
33/93 carrier aggregation configuration or a dual connectivity configuration (for example, when multiple server cells have a subideal or non-ideal backhaul link). An eCC can also be configured for use on unlicensed or shared spectrum (where more than one operator is allowed to use the spectrum). An eCC characterized by wide bandwidth may include one or more segments that can be used by UEs 115 that are unable to monitor all bandwidth or prefer to use limited bandwidth (for example, to conserve power).
[0077] In some cases, an eCC may use a different symbol duration than other component carriers (CCs), which may include use of a reduced symbol duration compared to the symbol durations of the other CCs. A shorter symbol life can be associated with increased subcarrier spacing. A TTI in an eCC can consist of one or multiple symbols. In some cases, the duration of TTI (that is, the number of symbols in a TTI) can be variable. A device, such as an UE 115 or a base station 105, that uses eCCs can transmit broadband signals (for example, 20, 40, 60, 80 MHz, etc.) in short symbol durations (for example, 16, 67 microseconds).
[0078] In some cases, the wireless system 100 can use both licensed and unlicensed frequency spectrum bands. For example, wireless system 100 may employ LTE License Assisted Access (LTE-LAA) or Unlicensed LTE radio access technology (LTE-U) or NR technology in a band
Petition 870190050741, of 05/30/2019, p. 40/129
34/93 not licensed as the 5Ghz Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) band. When operating in unlicensed radio frequency spectrum bands, wireless devices such as base stations 105 and UEs 115 can employ listening before speaking (LBT) procedures to ensure that the channel is cleared before transmitting data . In some cases, operations on unlicensed bands may be based on a carrier aggregation (CA) configuration in combination with CCs that operate on a licensed band. Unlicensed spectrum operations may include downlink transmissions, uplink transmissions or both. Duplexing in unlicensed spectrum can be based on frequency division duplexing (FDD), time division duplexing (TDD) or a combination of both.
[0079] In some examples, an UE 115 and a base station 105 can participate in a directional RACK procedure. For example, base station 105 can transmit synchronization signals in different directions using different transmission beams. The UE 115 can receive one or more of the sync signals and select RACK resources for transmitting an initial random access message based on the receipt of the sync signals. In some cases, the UE 115 may not receive an adequate response to the initial random access message from base station 105. For example, base station 105 may not successfully receive the initial random access message from UE 115 and the UE 115 may decide to retransmit the initial random access message using link parameters

35/93 different upstream (for example, RACK resource, transmission power, transmission beam, etc.) in an attempt to successfully reach base station 105.
[0080] Figure 2 illustrates an example of a wireless communications system 200 that supports uplink transmission parameter selection for an initial random access message in accordance with various aspects of the present disclosure. The wireless communications system 200 can include UE 115-a and a base station 105-a, which can be examples of the corresponding devices described with reference to Figure 1.
[0081] In some systems, such as an mmW system, the base station 105-a and UE 115-a can use directional RACK transmissions. Base station 105-a can transmit multiple sync signals (for example, a primary sync signal (PSS), a secondary sync signal (SSS), a beam reference signal (BRS), an extended sync signal (ESS), a physical broadcast channel (PBCH), etc.) during a synchronization subframe. For example, the synchronization subframe can include a number of symbols (for example, 1, 8, 14, 20 symbols, etc.). Base station 105-a can transmit a directional sync signal at each symbol. Each directional synchronization signal can be transmitted in a different direction and on a different beam 205 in order to cover a portion or the entire coverage area 110-a. For example, base station 105-a can transmit a first directional sync signal on beam 205-a on a first symbol, a second directional sync signal on beam 205-b on a second symbol, a
Petition 870190050741, of 05/30/2019, p. 42/129
36/93 third directional synchronization signal in beam 205-c in a third symbol, and a fourth directional synchronization signal in beam 205-d in a fourth symbol of a synchronization subframe. It should be understood that the base station 105-a can transmit any number of directional synchronization signals without departing from the scope of the disclosure.
[0082] The UE 115-a can receive a directional synchronization signal (for example, on beam 205-a), and can determine a RACK resource and a beam (for example, the first symbol and beam 205-a) for an initial random access message, such as a directional RACK request message transmission to gain access to the network. The initial random access message may be referred to as a RACK preamble message or a RACK Msgl transmission. In some cases, UE 115-a can receive multiple directional sync signals from base station 105-a, and can select one of the sync signals to determine the uplink resources and an uplink beam for transmission. For example, the selection can be based on a received signal strength (for example, received reference signal strength (RSRP), received signal strength indication (RSSI), channel quality indicator (CQI), signal-to-signal ratio and noise (SNR), etc.) of the directional synchronization signal. In some cases, the UE 115-a may select RACK resources or an uplink transmission beam that corresponds to the synchronization signal block or synchronization signal with the largest RSSI or RSRP, among others.
Petition 870190050741, of 05/30/2019, p. 43/129
37/93 [0083] Base station 105-a can hear signals in different directions and different time partitions and if base station 105-a receives a directional RACK request message from UE 115-a, station- base 105-a can transmit a directional RACK response message to UE 115-a in response to the directional RACK request message. The RACK response message can be transmitted over a shared downlink channel (DL-SCH) and may include a temporary identifier, an uplink grant feature, a transmit power control (TPC) command, or other information for UE 115-a.
[0084] In some cases, UE 115-a may not receive a directional RACK response message from base station 105-a and may select different parameters for relaying the directional RACK request message. For example, after a predetermined time interval, UE 115-a can relay the directional RACK request message to base station 105-a and can select or adjust uplink transmission parameters (for example, transmit power , resources, or transmission beam) to avoid the symbol or beam (for example, the first symbol and beam 205-a) that previously failed. For example, the UE 115-a can select a transmission power, RACK feature, or beam 205 different from that used in the initial transmission.
[0085] According to some aspects, the UE 115-a can select a different beam or RACK resource to relay the directional RACK request message. For example, the UE 115-a can receive multiple
Petition 870190050741, of 05/30/2019, p. 44/129
38/93 directional sync signals from base station 105-a, and can determine an estimated path loss for each of the different directional sync signals. UE 115-a can also try different downlink receiving beams while receiving directional synchronization signals and estimates the path loss for each of the downlink receiving beams. Based on the estimated loss of route, the UE 115-a
can select one bundle in streaming in link different ascendant or resources different RACH for retransmission. [0086] 0 EU 115-a can select an power
transmission for transmission of the directional RACH request message based on the estimated path loss and various retransmissions to a base station 105 with beam reciprocity. In some cases, the UE 115-a can determine a transmission power based on the estimated loss of travel. In other cases, the UE 115-a can determine the transmission power based on the estimated path loss, but it can increase the transmission power determined by an additional amount (for example, where the additional amount corresponds to a function of power increase). In some instances, the additional amount may be a function of the various retransmissions (for example, the power increase function may be a function of a power increase coefficient and several retransmissions, where the greater the number of retransmissions, the greater the additional quantity). A retransmission can be an example of an additional transmission of the directional RACH request message in
Petition 870190050741, of 05/30/2019, p. 12/45
39/93 a same uplink beam, in the same random access resources, in an uplink beam, in different random access resources, or some combination of these parameters. For example, in some cases, the number of retransmissions may increase when the same uplink transmission beam is used, the same random access feature is used, or both, but it may not increase when one or both of these parameters are changed. In such cases, the UE 115-a can use the same additional amount of power (for example, increased amount of power) when relaying using a different uplink beam or different random access resources.
[0087] In some cases, the UE 115-a can determine the transmission power based on the estimated path loss, and can determine whether the transmission power determined by an additional amount increases. For example, the UE 115-a can determine whether to increase transmission power by an additional amount based on a difference between the estimated loss of travel and an estimated loss of previous travel (for example, an estimated loss of travel
for one signal in synchronization). Per example if The difference in between The loss estimate route and The estimate of loss previous route is bigger than one
predetermined limit, the UE 115-a can increase the transmission power by the additional amount. If the difference between the estimated loss of travel and the estimated loss of previous travel is less than the predetermined limit, the UE 115-a may not increase the power of
Petition 870190050741, of 05/30/2019, p. 46/129
40/93 transmission. The previous loss of travel estimate can be an estimate of loss of travel for the original transmission or any subsequent retransmission prior to the current retransmission of the directional RACH request message. The UE 115-a can transmit the message of
solicitation in Directional RACH in one bundle different selected 205- -B or resource in RACH different selected for The base station 105-a with the use of power
determined transmission.
[0088] The UE 115-a can select a RACH resource (for example, which corresponds to a time frequency resource and a RACH preamble) based on a transmission power of a selected beam 205. In some cases, UE 115-a may select a different beam 205 to relay the directional RACH request message (e.g., beam 205-b). The UE 115-a can select a RACH resource that corresponds to the lowest transmission power for retransmission. In some cases, the selected RACH feature can change frequently between retransmissions. For example, UE 115a can select a different RACH resource if a transmission power of the different RACH resource is less than a designated transmission power of the current RACH resource by more than a predetermined threshold. The predetermined threshold value can be stored in a master information block (MIB), a system information block (SIB), a minimum SIB, or another type of SIB. In some cases, base station 105-a may transmit the predetermined threshold in the MIB, SIB, minimum SIB, or other type of SIB to the UE 115-a on a PBCH, an extended PBCH
Petition 870190050741, of 05/30/2019, p. 47/129
41/93 (ePBCH), a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), or another suitable channel.
[0089] In some cases, the UE 115-a may have minimum numbers of retransmissions associated with a RACH resource, a 205 beam, or a combination of the two. For example, UE 115-a may have a minimum number of retransmissions associated with a fixed RACH resource. For the fixed RACH feature, the UE 115-a can select different transmit powers and 205 beams for each retransmission. In another example, UE 115-a may have a minimum number of retransmissions associated with a fixed beam 205 (e.g., beam 205-a). For beam 205-a, UE 115-a can select different transmission powers and RACH resources for each transmission. Additionally, the UE 115-a may have a minimum number of retransmissions associated with a fixed RACH resource and a fixed beam 205 (e.g., beam 205-a). The UE 115-a can select different transmission powers for each retransmission with the fixed RACH feature and beam 205-a. The values of the maximum numbers of retransmissions can be stored in the MIB, SIB, minimum SIB, or other types of SIB.
[0090] In some examples, a directional sync signal may not indicate an accurate path loss estimate for a base station 105 without beam reciprocity. This can also occur if the base station 105 decides to use a different set of beams when transmitting the synchronization signals and receiving the RACH signal for flexibility. For example, a 105-a base station arrangement gain may differ between downlink transmission and
Petition 870190050741, of 05/30/2019, p. 12/ 48
42/93 uplink receipt and the directional synchronization signal received by UE 115-a may not accurately indicate a transmit power for transmission on the uplink to base station 105-a via communication link 210. In some cases, the difference between downlink transmission and uplink reception can be based on a number of beams 205 that base station 105-a uses to cover coverage area 110-a, or it can be based on chain properties transmit or receive from base station 105-a (for example, a number of bits used in a phase quantizer, a phase difference between the transmit and receive chains, etc.). In some cases, the base station 105-a can transmit characteristics of the arrangement gain or signal strength. For example, base station 105-a can transmit to UE 115-an indication of a range of maximum difference in array gain between downlink transmission and uplink receipt, an average difference in array gain, a maximum difference in signal strength between any beam from the transmission beams and a corresponding beam from the receiving beams, an average difference in signal intensity between any beam from the transmission beams and a corresponding beam from the receiving beams, or any combinations of the themselves. Base station 105-a can store the range indication in the MIB, SIB, minimum SIB, or other type of SIB.
[0091] The UE 115-a can select a loss of travel based on the estimated loss of travel and the maximum difference in arrangement gain between the transmission of
Petition 870190050741, of 05/30/2019, p. 12/49
43/93 downlink and uplink receipt to base station 105-a. Similar to the above, UE 115-a can estimate a path loss based on a directional synchronization signal received from base station 105-a. In some cases, the UE 115-a may select a lost route based on the estimated lost route. In other cases, the UE 115-a can select the lost path based on the adjustment of the lost path estimate. For example, in some cases, UE 115-a may implement a conservative approach. UE 115-a can select the loss of travel to match the estimated loss of travel minus a designated value. The assigned value can be the maximum difference in array gain between downlink transmission and uplink receipt to base station 105-a. A conservative approach can limit interference by the directional RACK request message for transmissions from other UEs 115. In other cases, the UE 115-a may implement an aggressive approach in which the UE 115-a can select the loss of route to match the estimated loss of travel plus the designated value. The aggressive approach can increase the likelihood that the other UEs 115 will detect the directional RACK request message.
[0092] Figure 3 illustrates an example of a synchronization procedure 300 for the selection of uplink transmission parameter for an initial random access message according to various aspects of the present disclosure. The synchronization procedure 300 can include synchronization subframes

44/93
305 (for example, 305-a, 305-b, and 305-c synchronization subframes) and RACH 310 subframes. Both types of subframes can consist of one or more 315 symbols. The synchronization procedure 300 can be performed by an UE 115 that receives signals from a base station 105, such as
corresponding devices described with reference at Figures 1 and 2. [0093] In some cases, the base station 105 can transmit multiple signals synchronization directional during the subframe of synchronization 305-a. Per
For example, base station 105 can transmit a directional sync signal during each sync subframe symbol 315-a 305-a. Each directional sync signal can be transmitted over a different beam in a different direction. For example, the synchronization subframe 305-a can contain fourteen 315 symbols. In one aspect, base station 105 can divide a coverage area (or a portion of a coverage area) into fourteen sections and transmit directional synchronization signals in separate bundles that point to each section.
[0094] UE 115 can receive one or more directional sync signals from base station 105, and can select one of multiple directional sync signals. For example, the UE 115 can select the directional sync signal with the highest received signal strength (for example, RSSI, RSRP, CQI, etc.). The UE 115 can identify the symbol (for example, symbol 325) and the corresponding beam through which the UE 115 received the selected directional synchronization signal. In some
Petition 870190050741, of 05/30/2019, p. 51/129
45/93 cases, UE 115 can randomly select a subcarrier region from subcarrier frequencies 320. UE 115 can transmit a directional RACK request message to base station 105 using RACK 330, during the identified symbol 325 and through the selected subcarrier region.
[0095] Base station 105 can receive the directional RACK request message during the RACK 310 subframe. In response, base station 105 can transmit a directional RACK response message to the UE 115. However, in In some cases, the UE 115 may not receive a directional RACK response message following its transmission. In one example, base station 105 may not have received the directional RACK request message. In another example, the directional RACK request message or the directional RACK response message that may have been interfered with. UE 115 can relay the directional RACK request message to base station 105. However, UE 115 can select different parameters for retransmission. For example, UE 115 may select a different symbol 315-b, a different subcarrier frequency 320, or a combination of the two in order to relay the directional RACK message. For example, the UE 115 may have received a second directional synchronization signal during a different symbol than the 325 symbol. The UE 115 may select the different symbol, and the corresponding different beam, to relay the directional RACK request message to the station. base 105.
[0096] Figure 4 illustrates an example of a
Petition 870190050741, of 05/30/2019, p. 52/129
46/93 process flow 400 for the selection of uplink transmission parameter for an initial random access message according to various aspects of the present disclosure. UE 115-b and base station 105-b can be respective examples of UE 115 and base station 105 as described with reference to Figures 1 and 2.
[0097] In step 405, the base station 105-b can transmit a synchronization beam signal. The UE 115-b can receive the synchronization beam signal. In some cases, UE 115-b can also receive a maximum retransmission number from base station 105-b.
[0098] In step 410, UE 115-b can select parameters for the transmission of a random access message. For example, UE 115-b can identify a first uplink transmission beam, a first random access resource, or both for a random access procedure. Additionally, UE 115b can identify a first uplink transmission power for the random access procedure. For example, uplink transmission power may be based on a power increase counter. In some cases, identification may be based on the received synchronization beam signal.
[0099] In step 415, UE 115-b can transmit the random access message to base station 105-b using the first uplink transmission beam, the first uplink transmission power, and the first resource random access. UE 115-b can expect to receive a random access response message from base station 105-b on

47/93 response to the random access message.
[0100] In step 420, UE 115-b can select different parameters for the retransmission of the random access message. For example, UE 115-b may select a second uplink transmission beam, which may or may not be different from the first uplink transmission beam, or may select a second random access feature, which may or may not be different of the first random access feature. Additionally, UE 115-b can determine a second uplink transmission power for retransmission. For example, the second uplink transmission power may be based on the power increase counter. The power increase counter value can be increased by one for each retransmission. In some cases, the power increase counter value may not increase retransmissions with the use of an uplink transmission beam, a different random access feature, or both. In some examples, UE 115-b may select a second random access resource or second uplink transmission beam that corresponds to a lower second uplink transmission power. In some cases, UE 115-b can determine a path loss associated with the transmission of the random access message, and can determine the second uplink transmission power and the second random access resource based on the path loss. For example, the second uplink transmission power and the second random access feature can be additionally based on a
Petition 870190050741, of 05/30/2019, p. 54/129
48/93 difference between the lost path and a lost path retransmission of the random access message. In some cases, the second uplink transmission power and the second random access feature may be based on multiple retransmissions of the random access message, or on a delta function that corresponds to the retransmission number. In some cases, the retransmission may be based on the maximum number of retransmissions received.
[0101] In step 425, UE 115-b can relay the random access message to base station 105-b using the second uplink transmission beam, the second uplink transmission power, the second random access, or a combination of the three.
[0102] In some cases, UE 115-b may not receive a random access response message from base station 105-b after retransmission. In such cases, the UE 115-b can repeat the selection and retransmission process until the UE 115-b receives a random access response message or until the UE 115-b reaches the maximum number of retransmissions defined by the base station 105-b.
[0103] In other cases, base station 105-b can receive the random access message from UE 115-b in step 425. In step 430, base station 105-b can transmit a random access response message for UE 115-b. UE 115-b can receive the random access response message, and can gain access to the medium (for example, after the completion of a full RACH procedure).

In addition, the aspects of two or more of the methods can be combined.
[0192] The techniques described in this document can be used for various wireless communications systems such as code division multiple access (CDMA), time division multiple access (TDMA), frequency division multiple access (FDMA), orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA), single carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) and other systems. The terms system and network are often used interchangeably. A CDMA system can deploy radio technology such as CDMA2000, Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (UTRA), etc. CDMA2000 covers the IS-2000, IS-95 and IS-856 standards. IS-2000 versions can be commonly referred to as CDMA2000 IX, IX, etc. IS-856 (TIA-856) is commonly referred to as CDMA2000 IxEV-DO, High Rate Data Package (HRPD), etc. UTRA includes Broadband CDMA (WCDMA) and other CDMA variants. A TDMA system can deploy radio technology like the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM).
[0193] An OFDMA system can deploy radio technology such as Ultra-Mobile Broadband (UMB), Evolved UTRA (E-UTRA), Institute of Electronic Engineers and Electricians (IEEE) 802.11 (Wi-Fi), IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX), IEEE 802.20, Flash-OFDM, etc. UTRA and E-UTRA are part of the Universal Mobile Telecommunications (UMTS) system. 3 GPP LTE and LTE-A are versions of UMTS that use E-UTRA. UTRA, EUTRA, UMTS, LTE, LTE-A, NR and GSM are described in documents from the organization called
Petition 870190050741, of 05/30/2019, p. 92/129
86/93
3 Generation Partnership (3GPP). CDMA2000 and UMB are described in documents from an organization called Partnership Project of the 3rd Generation 2 (3GPP2). The techniques described in this document can be used for the radio systems and technologies mentioned above as well as other radio systems and technologies. While aspects of an LTE or NR system can be described for purposes of example, and LTE or NR terminology can be used in much of the description, the techniques described in this document are applicable in addition to LTE or NR applications. .
[0194]
In LTE / LTE-A networks, including such networks described in this document, the term eNB can generally be used to describe base stations. The wireless communication system or systems described in this document may include a heterogeneous LTE / LTE-A or NR network in which different types of eNBs provide coverage for various geographic regions. For example, each eNB, next-generation NodeB (gNB), or base station can provide communication coverage for a macrocell, a small cell, or other cell types. The term cell can be used to describe a base station, a carrier or component carrier associated with a base station, or a coverage area (eg, sector, etc.) of a carrier or base station, depending on the context.
[0195]
Base stations may include or may be referred to by those skilled in the art as a transceiver base station, a radio base station, an access point, a radio transceiver, a NodeB, eNB,
Petition 870190050741, of 05/30/2019, p. 93/129
87/93 gNB, Domestic NodeB, a Domestic eNodeB or some other suitable terminology. The geographic coverage area for a base station can be divided into sectors that make up only a portion of the coverage area. The wireless communication system or systems described in this document may include base stations of different types (for example, macro or small cell base stations). The UEs described in this document may be able to communicate with various types of base stations and network equipment, including macro eNBs, small cell eNBs, gNBs, relay base stations and the like. There may be overlapping geographic coverage areas for different technologies.
[0196] A macrocell generally covers a relatively large geographical area (for example, several kilometers in radius) and can allow unrestricted access by UEs with service subscriptions with the network provider. A small cell is a base station with a low power compared to a macrocell, which can operate in the same or different frequency bands (for example, licensed, unlicensed, etc.) as macrocells. Small cells can include picocells, femtocells and microcells, according to several examples. A picocell, for example, can cover a small geographical area and can allow unrestricted access by UEs with service subscriptions with the network provider. A femtocell can also cover a small geographic area (for example, a residence) and can provide unrestricted access by UEs that have a femtocell association (for example, UEs in a group of
Petition 870190050741, of 05/30/2019, p. 94/129
88/93 closed subscriber (CSG), UEs for home users, and the like). An eNB for a macrocell can be referred to as an eNB macro. A small cell eNB can be referred to as a small cell eNB, an eNB peak, an eNB femto, or a domestic eNB. An eNB can support one or multiple (for example, two, three, four and the like) cells (for example, CCs).
[0197] The wireless communication system or systems described in this document can support synchronous or asynchronous operation. For synchronous operation, base stations can have a similar frame or timing, and transmissions from different base stations can be roughly aligned in time. For asynchronous operation, base stations may have a different frame or timing, and transmissions from different base stations may not be time aligned. The techniques described in this document can be used for any of the synchronous or asynchronous operations.
[0198] The downlink transmissions described in this document can also be called forward link transmissions, while the uplink transmissions can also be called reverse link transmissions. Each communication link described in this document including, for example, wireless communication system 100 and 200 of Figures 1 and 2 can include one or more carriers, where each carrier can be a signal consisting of multiple subcarriers (for example, signals waveforms of different frequencies).
