Abstract

Methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable mediums for wireless communication are disclosed by the present disclosure. In an example, a client wireless device may transmit a random access channel (RACH) preamble on a first time domain resource to a recipient such as a host wireless device. The client wireless device may later transmit a second RACH message to the recipient on a second time domain resource after the first time domain resource. The second time domain resource may be defined by a mapping from the first time domain resource. The recipient may transmit a third RACH message establishing a communication session between the host wireless device and the client wireless device. The second RACH message may include one or more of: an identifier of the wireless device; an identifier of the recipient of the second RACH message; a resource configuration for subsequent RACH messages; or timing information.

Claims (74)

1. A method of wireless communication, comprising:

receiving a discovery message from a recipient;

transmitting, from a wireless device, a random access channel (RACH) preamble on a first time domain resource to the recipient; and

transmitting, from the wireless device, a second RACH message to the recipient on a second time domain resource after the first time domain resource, the second time domain resource being defined by a mapping from the first time domain resource, wherein transmitting the second RACH message is in response to receiving the discovery message from the recipient.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second RACH message includes one or more of:

an identifier of the wireless device;

an identifier of the recipient of the second RACH message;

a resource configuration for subsequent RACH messages; or

timing information.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the timing information is one of a timing offset between the wireless device and the recipient of the second RACH message or a timing reference for a subsequent RACH message.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the discovery message indicates the mapping for the second time domain resource and a configuration for the second RACH message.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mapping for the second time domain resource and a configuration for the second RACH message are provided by one of:

a standardized preconfiguration;

a configuration indicated by a third entity in communication with both the wireless device and the recipient; or

a configuration indicated by a selected resource or sequence of the RACH preamble.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mapping for the second time domain resource is a one-to-one mapping or the mapping indicates a time domain window in which the second time domain resource is selected by the wireless device.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein transmitting the second RACH message comprises selecting a frequency domain resource for the second RACH message.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second time domain resource is at least two slots after the first time domain resource.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein no message is received from the recipient between the RACH preamble and the second RACH message.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, at the wireless device, a third RACH message from the recipient establishing a communication session between the recipient and the wireless device.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein a resource and configuration of the third RACH message is provided by one of:

a discovery message transmitted by the recipient;

a standardized preconfiguration;

a configuration indicated by a third entity in communication with both the wireless device and the recipient;

a configuration indicated by a selected resource or sequence of the RACH preamble; or

the second RACH message.

12. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining that a response to the second RACH message has not been received; and

retransmitting one or both of the RACH preamble and the second RACH message.

13. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, at the wireless device as a host device, a third RACH preamble on a third time domain resource from second client wireless device; and

receiving, at the wireless device, a fourth RACH message from the second client wireless device on a fourth time domain resource after the third time domain resource, the fourth time domain resource being defined by the mapping from the third time domain resource.

14. A client wireless device for wireless communication, comprising:

a memory; and

a processor in communication with the memory, wherein the processor is configured to:

receive a discovery message from a recipient;

transmit, from the client wireless device, a random access channel (RACH) preamble on a first time domain resource to a recipient; and

transmit, from the wireless device, a second RACH message to the recipient on a second time domain resource after the first time domain resource, the second time domain resource being defined by a mapping from the first time domain resource, wherein the processor is configured to transmit the second RACH message in response to receiving the discovery message from the recipient.

15. The client wireless device of claim 14 , wherein the second RACH message includes one or more of:

an identifier of the client wireless device;

an identifier of the recipient of the second RACH message;

a resource configuration for subsequent RACH messages; or

timing information.

16. The client wireless device of claim 15 , wherein the timing information is one of a timing offset between the client wireless device and the recipient of the second RACH message or a timing reference for a subsequent RACH message.

17. The client wireless device of claim 14 , wherein the discovery message indicates the mapping for the second time domain resource and a configuration for the second RACH message.

18. The client wireless device of claim 14 , wherein the mapping for the second time domain resource and a configuration for the second RACH message are provided by one of:

a standardized preconfiguration;

a configuration indicated by a third entity in communication with both the client wireless device and the recipient; or

a configuration indicated by a selected resource or sequence of the RACH preamble.

19. The client wireless device of claim 14 , wherein the mapping for the second time domain resource is a one-to-one mapping or the mapping indicates a time domain window in which the second time domain resource is selected by the client wireless device.

20. The client wireless device of claim 14 , wherein the processor is configured to select a frequency domain resource for the second RACH message.

21. The client wireless device of claim 14 , wherein the second time domain resource is at least two slots after the first time domain resource.

22. The client wireless device of claim 14 , wherein no message is received from the recipient between the RACH preamble and the second RACH message.

23. The client wireless device of claim 14 , wherein the processor is configured to receive a third RACH message from the recipient establishing a communication session between the recipient and the client wireless device.

24. The client wireless device of claim 23 , wherein a resource and configuration of the third RACH message is provided by one of:

the discovery message transmitted by the recipient;

a standardized preconfiguration;

a configuration indicated by a third entity in communication with both the client wireless device and the recipient;
