Time domain resource allocation for PUSCH transmission

1. A wireless communication device, comprising:

at least one processor; and

a non-transitory computer readable medium coupled to the at least one processor, the non-transitory computer readable medium contains instructions executable by the at least one processor, whereby the at least one processor is configured to:

transmit a preamble on Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH);

receive a Random Access Response (RAR) message containing an uplink (UL) grant;

transmit, on a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH), a terminal identification message having a first time resource allocation; and

transmit, on the PUSCH, a non-terminal-identification message having a second time resource allocation, wherein the first time resource allocation of the terminal identification message is different than the second time resource allocation of the non-terminal-identification message to be transmitted on the PUSCH with respect to at least one of:

a starting symbol relative to the start of a slot; and

a PUSCH symbol length; and

wherein the second time resource allocation depends on a numerology used; and

wherein the first time resource allocation has a configured timing offset relative to the second time resource allocation and the configured timing offset is in a table that comprises:

8. The wireless communication device of claim 2 , wherein both the second time resource allocation and the configured timing offset are in a third predefined table or a third configured table.

9. The wireless communication device of claim 1 , wherein the second time resource allocation is indicated by a network node via Remaining Minimum System Information (RMSI).

10. The wireless communication device of claim 1 , wherein the second time resource allocation is in a first predefined table or a first configured table.

11. A network node, comprising:

at least one processor; and

a non-transitory computer readable medium coupled to the at least one processor, the non-transitory computer readable medium contains instructions executable by the at least one processor, whereby the at least one processor is configured to:

receive a preamble on Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH);

transmit a Random Access Response (RAR) message containing an uplink (UL) grant; and

receive, on a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH), a message for terminal identification, wherein a time resource allocation of the message for terminal identification is different than a time resource allocation of another message to be transmitted on the PUSCH with respect to at least one of:

a starting symbol relative to the start of a slot; and

a PUSCH symbol length; and

wherein the time resource allocation of the other message to be transmitted on the PUSCH depends on a numerology used; and

wherein the time resource allocation of the message for terminal identification has a configured timing offset relative to the time resource allocation of the other message to be transmitted on the PUSCH and the configured timing offset is in a table that comprises:

numerology

12. The network node of claim 11 , wherein the message for terminal identification is an Msg3 message.

13. The network node of claim 11 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

indicate the time resource allocation of the other message to be transmitted on the PUSCH via Remaining Minimum System Information (RMSI).

14. The network node according to claim 11 , wherein the time resource allocation of the other message to be transmitted on the PUSCH is in a first predefined table or a first configured table.

15. The network node of claim 11 , wherein the timing offset depends on a numerology used, and there is one timing offset for one numerology.

16. The network node of claim 11 , wherein both the time resource allocation of the other message to be transmitted on the PUSCH and the timing offset are in a third predefined table or a third configured table.

17. A method comprising:

transmitting a preamble on Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH);

receiving a Random Access Response (RAR) message containing an uplink (UL) grant; and

transmitting, on a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH), a message for terminal identification, wherein a time resource allocation of the message for terminal identification is different than a time resource allocation of another message to be transmitted on the PUSCH with respect to at least one of:

a starting symbol relative to the start of a slot; and

a PUSCH symbol length; and

wherein the time resource allocation of the other message to be transmitted on the PUSCH depends on a numerology used; and
