Abstract

A method and a device in a node used for wireless communication are disclosed in the present disclosure. A first node transmits a first Random-Access (RA) Preamble and a first radio signal, the first RA Preamble being associated with the first radio signal, the first RA Preamble being transmitted on a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH), and a first bit block being used for generating the first radio signal; receives Physical Downlink Control Channel PDCCH, the PDCCH comprising a first information block; and transmits a second RA Preamble and a second radio signal, the second RA Preamble being associated with the second radio signal, and the second RA Preamble being transmitted on a PUSCH, the first bit block being used for generating the second radio signal; the RA channels being Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) occasions.

Claims (44)

1. A method in a User Equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:

generating a first radio signal comprising a first identification using a first bit block;

transmitting to a base station a first Random-Access (RA) Preamble on a first random-access channel and the first radio signal on a first Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH), the first RA Preamble for determining a time-frequency resource unit occupied by the first radio signal and a scrambling sequence of the first radio signal;

receiving from the base station a PDCCH for a Random Access Response (RAR), the PDCCH comprising a first information block comprising the first identification, the first information block for triggering a transmission of a second radio signal;

generating the second radio signal using the first bit block; and

transmitting to the base station a second RA Preamble on a second random-access channel and the second radio signal on a second PUSCH, the second RA Preamble for determining a time-frequency resource unit occupied by the second radio signal and a scrambling sequence of the second radio signal, each of the first random-access channel and the second random-access channel being a Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) occasion.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first information block comprises a Downlink Control Information (DCI).

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first information block is for indicating whether the first radio signal is correctly received, the first information block received from the base station.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first identification is a Cell Radio Network Temporary Identifier (C-RNTI).

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first identification is a Random Access Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RA-RNTI) and is for scrambling the first information block.

6. A method in a base station for wireless communication, comprising:

receiving from a user equipment (UE) a first Random-Access (RA) Preamble on a first random-access channel and a first radio signal on a first Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH), the first RA Preamble for determining a time-frequency resource unit occupied by the first radio signal and a scrambling sequence of the first radio signal, the first radio signal comprising a first identification;

transmitting to the UE a PDCCH for a Random Access Response (RAR), the PDCCH comprising a first information block comprising the first identification, the first information block for causing the UE to transmit a second radio signal; and

receiving from the UE a second RA Preamble on a second random-access channel and the second radio signal on a second PUSCH, the second RA Preamble for determining a time-frequency resource unit occupied by the second radio signal and a scrambling sequence of the second radio signal, each of the first random-access channel and the second random-access channel being a Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) occasion.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the first information block comprises a Downlink Control Information (DCI).

8. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the first information block is used for indicating whether the first radio signal is correctly received, the first information block is transmitted to the UE.

9. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the first identification is a Cell Radio Network Temporary Identifier (C-RNTI).

13. The UE according to claim 11 , wherein the first information block is for indicating whether the first radio signal is correctly received, the first information block received from the base station.

14. The UE according to claim 11 , wherein the first identification is a Cell Radio Network Temporary Identifier (C-RNTI).

15. The UE according to claim 11 , wherein the first identification is a Random Access Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RA-RNTI) and is for scrambling the first information block.

16. A base station for wireless communication, comprising:

a transmitter;

a receiver;

a non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon; and

a processor coupled to the transmitter, the receiver, and the non-transitory computer-readable medium, the processor configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to:

receive, from a user equipment (UE) via the receiver, a first Random-Access (RA) Preamble on a first random-access channel and a first radio signal on a first Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH), the first RA Preamble for determining a time-frequency resource unit occupied by the first radio signal and a scrambling sequence of the first radio signal, the first radio signal comprising a first identification;

transmit, to the UE via the transmitter, a PDCCH for Random Access Response (RAR), the PDCCH comprising a first information block comprising the first identification, the first information block for causing the UE to transmit a second radio signal; and

receive, from the UE via the one or more receivers, a second RA Preamble on a second random-access channel and the second radio signal on a second PUSCH, the second RA Preamble for determining a time-frequency resource unit occupied by the second radio signal and a scrambling sequence of the second radio signal, each of the first random-access channel and the second random-access channel being a Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) occasion.
