Random access process of an unlicensed cell in a wireless device

1. A method comprising:

initiating, by a wireless device, a random access procedure on an unlicensed cell;

performing a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure for transmission of a preamble of the random access procedure;

in response to the LBT procedure indicating an LBT success, monitoring a downlink control channel for a random access response (RAR); and

in response to the LBT procedure indicating an LBT failure:

not monitoring the downlink control channel for the RAR; and

performing a random access resource selection procedure.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving at least one radio resource control message comprising a first maximum counter value of a preamble transmission counter and a second maximum counter value of a second counter.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising, in response to the LBT procedure indicating the LBT success, incrementing the preamble transmission counter.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising setting a preamble power parameter using a value of the preamble transmission counter.

5. The method of claim 2 , further comprising, in response to the LBT procedure indicating the LBT failure, keeping the preamble transmission counter the same.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, in response to the LBT procedure indicating the LBT success, transmitting the preamble.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, in response to the LBT procedure indicating the LBT failure, dropping the transmission of the preamble.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, in response to the LBT procedure indicating the LBT success:

starting a random access response window, and wherein the monitoring the downlink control channel for the RAR to the preamble is during the random access response window.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, in response to the LBT procedure indicating the LBT failure, not receiving the RAR to the preamble in response to not monitoring the downlink control channel for the RAR.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining that the random access procedure successfully completes based on receiving the RAR to the preamble.

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:

initiate a random access procedure on an unlicensed cell;

perform a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure for transmission of a preamble of the random access procedure;

in response to the LBT procedure indicating an LBT success, monitor a downlink control channel for a random access response (RAR); and

in response to the LBT procedure indicating an LBT failure:

not monitor the downlink control channel for the RAR; and

perform a random access resource selection procedure.

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 at least one radio resource control message comprising a first maximum counter value of a preamble transmission counter and a second maximum counter value of a second counter.

13. The wireless device of claim 12 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to, in response to the LBT procedure indicating the LBT success, increment the preamble transmission counter.

14. The wireless device of claim 13 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to set a preamble power parameter using a value of the preamble transmission counter.

15. The wireless device of claim 12 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to, in response to the LBT procedure indicating the LBT failure, keep the preamble transmission counter the same.

16. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to, in response to the LBT procedure indicating the LBT success, transmit the preamble.

17. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to, in response to the LBT procedure indicating the LBT failure, drop the transmission of the preamble.

18. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to, in response to the LBT procedure indicating the LBT success:

start a random access response window, wherein the monitoring of the downlink control channel for the RAR to the preamble is during the random access response window.

19. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to, in response to the LBT procedure indicating the LBT failure, not receive the RAR to the preamble in response to not monitoring the downlink control channel for the RAR.

20. A system comprising:

a base station comprising:

one or more first processors; and

first memory storing first instructions that, when executed by the one or more first processors, cause the base station to transmit configuration parameters of a random access procedure on an unlicensed cell; and

a wireless device comprising:

one or more second processors; and

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

receive the configuration parameters;

initiate, based on the configuration parameters, the random access procedure on the unlicensed cell;

perform a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure for transmission of a preamble of the random access procedure;

in response to the LBT procedure indicating an LBT success, monitor a downlink control channel for a random access response (RAR); and

in response to the LBT procedure indicating an LBT failure:

not monitor the downlink control channel for the RAR; and

perform a random access resource selection procedure.
