the receiving of the one or more multi-RACH preambles from the user equipment is performed by one of the number of slots, subframes or symbols, corresponding to the number of the multi-RACH preambles.
4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more multi-RACH preambles use one or more multi-RACH sequences.
5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the random access procedure is a contention-free random access procedure.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more multi-RACH preambles is received from the user equipment based on frequency division multiplexing (FDM).
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the one or more beam subsets are orthogonal and non-overlapping to one another.
9. A method of a user equipment for performing a multi-beam-based random access procedure in wireless communications, the method comprising:
receiving information on one or more random access channel (RACH) resources from a base station;
transmitting one or more multi-RACH preambles to the base station through multiple beams, each of the multiple beams including one or more beam subsets; and
receiving a random access response from the base station, wherein the reception of the random access response from the base station is performed through one or more beams determined using subsets of the one or more multiple beams corresponding to the one or more RACH resources.
10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the transmitting of the one or more multi-RACH preambles to the base station is performed by sequentially transmitting the one or more multi-RACH preambles.
