Abstract

Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for wireless communications. A base station may transmit indications of target received powers for a random access procedure and a beam failure recovery procedure. A wireless device may transmit a random access preamble and a beam failure recovery preamble using different transmission powers based on the indications of target received powers.
