    Abstract: A User Equipment (UE) including a wireless transceiver and a controller is provided. The wireless transceiver performs wireless transmission and reception to and from a cellular station. The controller selects a downlink reference signal associated with a candidate beam among a plurality of downlink reference signals including Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS) resources, Synchronization Signal (SS) blocks, or Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH) blocks, and determines one from a plurality sets of Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) preambles and RACH occasions for the selected downlink reference signal according to an association configured between the downlink reference signals and PRACH resources. Also, the controller uses the determined set of PRACH preamble and RACH occasion to perform a PRACH transmission to the cellular station via the wireless transceiver.

    Abstract: A method for data reception of a random access procedure for a network of a wireless communication system is disclosed. The method comprises receiving a preamble and data of the random access procedure in one message, from a user equipment (UE) of the wireless communication system, obtaining timing advance information according to the received preamble, and performing channel estimation according to a DMRS allocated for demodulation of the received data with a timing advance compensation, wherein the timing advance compensation is an operation of a linear phase rotation in a frequency domain based on the timing advance information.

    Abstract: A User Equipment (UE) including a wireless transceiver and a controller is provided. The wireless transceiver performs wireless transmission and reception to and from a service network. The controller initiates a random access procedure with the service network by controlling the wireless transceiver to perform wireless transmission using at least one of: a random access preamble configured for System Information (SI) request, and a corresponding Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) time-frequency resource allocated for the random access preamble. Also, the controller receives a random access response, which includes a Random Access Preamble Identifier (RAPID) only and does not include a Timing Advance (TA) command, an uplink grant, and a temporary Cell Radio Network Temporary Identifier (C-RNTI), from the service network via the wireless transceiver.
