    Abstract: According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method, comprising: receiving, by a first device from a second device, a message on a wireless medium indicating that the wireless medium has been reserved for at least one transmission from the first device to the second device by the second device detecting that the wireless medium is not occupied, based on a first beamwidth. The method further comprises determining, by the first device, a second beamwidth for performing the at least one transmission, selecting, by the first device on the basis of the received message, a method for the first device, from a set of at least two methods, to determine whether the wireless medium is occupied, determining, by the first device, based on the selected method for the first device whether the wireless medium is occupied, and in response to detecting that the wireless medium is not occupied, performing the at least one transmission by the first device.

    Abstract: Method, apparatuses, and computer program product for addressing random access responses with extended response windows. One method may include accessing, by a user equipment, a network by sending a random access channel preamble to a network element. The method may also include receiving, in response to the random access channel preamble, a random access response from the network element. The random access response provides an indication of which random access channel occasion in time within a span of one or a plurality of radio frames the random access response applies.
