This disclosure relates to methods, devices, and systems for wireless communications, and more particularly to aggregating physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) resource units relating to a random access message. A user equipment (UE) may identify a random access message of a random access procedure. The random access message may include a random access preamble and a random access payload.
