Reception of random access response

1. A method comprising:

transmitting, by a wireless device, a first preamble via a cell;

receiving a downlink grant for a random access response;

determining a failure to receive the random access response;

determining, based on the failure and a time alignment timer of the cell, an uplink signal for transmission via the cell, wherein the uplink signal is either a second preamble or a negative acknowledgement; and

transmitting the uplink signal, wherein the uplink signal is the second preamble in response to the time alignment timer, associated with the cell, not being running, and the uplink signal is the negative acknowledgement in response to the time alignment timer being running.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining a timing advance value is invalid in response to the time alignment timer not being running, and wherein the uplink signal being the second preamble is based on determining that the timing advance value is invalid.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining a timing advance value is valid in response to the time alignment timer being running, and wherein the uplink signal being the negative acknowledgement is based on determining that the timing advance value is valid.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein transmitting the first preamble comprises transmitting a first message comprising the first preamble and a first transport block.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the first transport block comprises a cell radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI) of the wireless device.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein receiving the downlink grant comprises receiving, based on the C-RNTI, a downlink control information comprising the downlink grant.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining based on the failure is based on failing to decode the random access response.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the uplink signal comprising the second preamble is based on a two-step random access procedure.

9. 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 preamble via a cell;

receive a downlink grant for a random access response;

determine a failure to receive the random access response;

determine, based on the failure and a time alignment timer of the cell, an uplink signal for transmission via the cell, wherein the uplink signal is either a second preamble or a negative acknowledgement; and

transmit the uplink signal, wherein the uplink signal is the second preamble in response to the time alignment timer, associated with the cell, not being running, and the uplink signal is the negative acknowledgement in response to the time alignment timer being running.

10. The wireless device of claim 9 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to determine a timing advance value is invalid in response to the time alignment timer not being running, and wherein the uplink signal being the second preamble is based on determining that the timing advance value is invalid.

11. The wireless device of claim 9 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to determine a timing advance value is valid in response to the time alignment timer being running, and wherein the uplink signal being the negative acknowledgement is based on determining that the timing advance value is valid.

12. The wireless device of claim 9 , wherein to transmit the first preamble, the instructions further cause the wireless device to transmit a first message comprising the first preamble and a first transport block.

13. The wireless device of claim 12 , wherein the first transport block comprises a cell radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI) of the wireless device.

14. The wireless device of claim 13 , wherein to receive the downlink grant, the instructions further cause the wireless device to receive, based on the C-RNTI, downlink control information comprising the downlink grant.

15. The wireless device of claim 9 , wherein to determine based on the failure, the instructions further cause the wireless device to determine based on failing to decode the random access response.

16. A system comprising:

a base station comprising: one or more first processors and first memory storing first instructions that, when executed by one or more first processors, cause the base station to:

receive a first preamble via a cell; and

transmit a downlink grant for a random access response; 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:

transmit, to the base station, the first preamble via the cell;

receive, from the base station, the downlink grant for the random access response;

determine a failure to receive the random access response;

determine, based on the failure and a time alignment timer of the cell, an uplink signal for transmission via the cell, wherein the uplink signal is either a second preamble or a negative acknowledgement; and

transmit the uplink signal to the base station, wherein the uplink signal is the second preamble in response to the time alignment timer, associated with the cell, not being running, and the uplink signal is the negative acknowledgement in response to the time alignment timer being running.
