Terminal apparatus, base station apparatus, communication method, and integrated circuit
A terminal apparatus transmits one random access preamble in multiple time sections, and changes a transmit beam to be used to transmit the one random access preamble in one of the multiple time sections or each of the multiple time sections, and monitors a random access response to the one random access preamble. The random access response includes first information for identifying any one of the multiple time sections.
