Abstract

A wireless device transmit a first message comprising a first preamble and a first transport block. The first transport block comprises a contention resolution identifier of the wireless device. The wireless device receive a first random access response to the first message. The first random access response comprises the contention resolution identifier. The wireless device starts a first time window in response to receiving the first random access response. The wireless device monitor, during the first time window, a downlink channel for a second random access response to the first message. The wireless device determines a failure to receive the second random access response during the first time window. The wireless device transmits a second message comprising a second preamble in response to the failure.

Claims (69)

1. A method comprising:

transmitting, by a wireless device, a first message comprising a first preamble and a first transport block comprising a contention resolution identifier of the wireless device;

receiving a first random access response to the first message, wherein the first random access response comprises the contention resolution identifier;

starting a first time window in response to receiving the first random access response;

monitoring, during the first time window, a downlink channel for a second random access response to the first message; and

transmitting a second message comprising a second preamble in response to determining a failure to receive the second random access response during the first time window.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving configuration parameters indicating a duration of a first time window.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first transport block comprises one of:

a radio resource connection setup request;

a radio resource connection resume request;

a radio resource connection establishment request; or

a radio resource connection re-establishment request.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second random access response comprises one of:

a radio resource connection setup;

a radio resource connection resume;

a radio resource connection establishment; or

a radio resource connection re-establishment.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

starting a second time window in response to transmitting the first message; and

monitoring, during the second time window, the downlink channel for the first random access response; and

receiving, based on a random access radio network identifier, first downlink control information indicating a first downlink assignment of the first random access response.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first random access response further comprises a cell radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI) of the wireless device.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, during the first time window and based on the C-RNTI, second downlink control information indicating a second downlink assignment of the second random access response.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second message is transmitted as a retransmission of the first message.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second message further comprises a second transport block.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving one or more downlink packets during the first time window; and

determining decoding failure of the second random access response using the one or more downlink packets.

11. A wireless device comprising:

one or more processors; and

memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to:

transmit a first message comprising a first preamble and a first transport block comprising a contention resolution identifier of the wireless device;

receive a first random access response to the first message, wherein the first random access response comprises the contention resolution identifier;

start a first time window in response to receiving the first random access response;

monitor, during the first time window, a downlink channel for a second random access response to the first message; and

transmit a second message comprising a second preamble in response to determining a failure to receive the second random access response during the first time window.

12. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to receive configuration parameters indicating a duration of a first time window.

13. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the first transport block comprises one of:

a radio resource connection setup request;

a radio resource connection resume request;

a radio resource connection establishment request; or

a radio resource connection re-establishment request.

14. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the second random access response comprises one of:

a radio resource connection setup;

a radio resource connection resume;

a radio resource connection establishment; or

a radio resource connection re-establishment.

15. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to:

start a second time window in response to transmitting the first message; and

monitor, during the second time window, the downlink channel for the first random access response; and

receive, based on a random access radio network identifier, first downlink control information indicating a first downlink assignment of the first random access response.

16. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the first random access response further comprises a cell radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI) of the wireless device.

17. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to receive, during the first time window and based on the C-RNTI, second downlink control information indicating a second downlink assignment of the second random access response.

18. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the second message:

is transmitted as a retransmission of the first message; and

further comprises a second transport block.

19. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to:

receive one or more downlink packets during the first time window; and

determine decoding failure of the second random access response using the one or more downlink packets.

20. A system comprising:

a base station; and

a wireless device comprising:

one or more processors; and

memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to:

transmit, to the base station, a first message comprising a first preamble and a first transport block comprising a contention resolution identifier of the wireless device;

receive a first random access response to the first message, wherein the first random access response comprises the contention resolution identifier;

start a first time window in response to receiving the first random access response;

monitor, during the first time window, a downlink channel for a second random access response to the first message; and

transmit a second message comprising a second preamble in response to determining a failure to receive the second random access response during the first time window.
