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 (68)

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

receiving 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 the first time window.

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

a radio resource connection setup request;

a radio resource connection resume request; or

a radio resource connection re-establishment request.

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

a radio resource connection setup;

a radio resource connection resume; 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;

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 6 , 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 , further comprising:

determining a success or a failure to decode the second random access response; and

transmitting an uplink control signal in response to the success or the failure, wherein the uplink control signal is indicative of the success or the failure.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

monitoring the downlink channel for the second random access in response to transmitting the uplink control signal.

10. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

determining retransmission of the first message in response to an expiry of the first time window and the failure; and

transmitting, based on the determining the retransmission, a second message comprising a second 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:

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

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 the first time window.

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

a radio resource connection setup request;

a radio resource connection resume 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 following instructions:

a radio resource connection setup;

a radio resource connection resume; 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;

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 16 , 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 instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to:

determine a success or a failure to decode the second random access response; and

transmit an uplink control signal in response to the success or the failure, wherein the uplink control signal is indicative of the success or the failure.

19. The wireless device of claim 18 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to:

determine retransmission of the first message in response to an expiry of the first time window and the failure; and

transmit, based on the determining the retransmission, a second message comprising a second preamble.

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

receive the second random access response during the first time window.
