Method and apparatus for random access procedure based on a channel access priority class in a wireless communication system

1. A method performed by a wireless device in a wireless communication system, the method comprising,

receiving, from a network, system information including (1) mapping information between access causes and channel access priority classes (CAPCs) for a certain area where the mapping information is applicable, and (2) information on the certain area;

selecting (1) a CAPC mapped to a certain cause for uplink access based on the mapping information, and (2) a certain random access preamble identifier (RAPID) associated with the selected CAPC, while located in the certain area, wherein the certain cause is one of an Establishment Cause, a Resume Cause or a Reestablishment Cause;

performing a first Listen Before Talk (LBT) procedure based on the selected CAPC for the uplink access;

transmitting, to the network, a random access preamble including the certain RAPID for the uplink access based on the first LBT procedure;

receiving, from the network, a downlink message including (1) the certain RAPID and (2) a specific CAPC mapped to the certain RAPID;

performing a second LBT procedure based on the specific CAPC; and

transmitting, to the network, an uplink message based on the second LBT procedure.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the downlink message includes an uplink grant and the uplink message is transmitted via the uplink grant.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the downlink message is a random access response (RAR) message in response to the random access preamble.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the uplink message is a Random Access Channel (RACH) message 3 in response to the RAR message.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the RACH message 3 includes at least one of an RRC Setup Request message, an RRC Resume Request message, and an RRC Re-establishment Request message.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the RACH message 3 includes a MAC Control Element.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises, selecting another CAPC mapped to the uplink message, wherein the uplink message includes the selected other CAPC.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises, receiving, from the network, a RACH message 4 including another CAPC, wherein the other CAPC is different from the specific CAPC.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the method further comprises, performing another LBT procedure based on the other CAPC; and transmitting, to the network, an RRC message in response to the RACH message 4 after the other LBT procedure.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the RRC message includes at least one of an RRC Setup Complete message, an RRC Resume Complete message, an RRC Re-establish Complete message, or an initial UE NAS message.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the LBT procedure is performed based on a set of LBT parameters associated with the specific CAPC.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the uplink message is transmitted to the network upon success of the LBT procedure.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the wireless device is in communication with at least one of a user equipment, a network, or an autonomous vehicle other than the wireless device.

14. A wireless device in a wireless communication system comprising:

a transceiver;

a memory; and

at least one processor operatively coupled to the transceiver and the memory, and configured to:

control the transceiver to receive, from a network, system information including (1) mapping information between access causes and channel access priority classes (CAPCs) for a certain area where the mapping information is applicable, and (2) information on the certain area;

select (1) a CAPC mapped to a certain cause for uplink access based on the mapping information, and (2) a certain random access preamble identifier (RAPID) associated with the selected CAPC, while located in the certain area, wherein the certain cause is one of an Establishment Cause, a Resume Cause or a Reestablishment Cause;

perform a first Listen Before Talk (LBT) procedure based on the selected CAPC for the uplink access;

control the transceiver to transmit, to the network, a random access preamble including the certain RAPID for the uplink access based on the first LBT procedure;

control the transceiver to receive, from the network, a downlink message including (1) the certain RAPID and (2) a specific CAPC mapped to the certain RAPID;

perform a second LBT procedure based on the specific CAPC; and

control the transceiver to transmit, to the network, an uplink message based on the second LBT procedure.

15. A processor for a wireless device in a wireless communication system, wherein the processor is configured to control the wireless device to perform operations comprising:

receiving, from a network, system information including (1) mapping information between access causes and channel access priority classes (CAPCs) for a certain area where the mapping information is applicable, and (2) information on the certain area;

selecting (1) a CAPC mapped to a certain cause for uplink access based on the mapping information, and (2) a certain random access preamble identifier (RAPID) associated with the selected CAPC, while located in the certain area, wherein the certain cause is one of an Establishment Cause, a Resume Cause or a Reestablishment Cause;

performing a first Listen Before Talk (LBT) procedure based on the selected CAPC for the uplink access;

transmitting, to the network, a random access preamble including the certain RAPID for the uplink access based on the first LBT procedure;

receiving, from the network, a downlink message including (1) the certain RAPID and (2) a specific CAPC mapped to the certain RAPID;

performing a second LBT procedure based on the specific CAPC; and

transmitting, to the network, an uplink message based on the second LBT procedure.
