Abstract: Various communication systems may benefit from improved random access operations. For example, certain embodiments may benefit from improved random access in which multiple bandwidth parts are configured to a user equipment within one cell. A method, in certain embodiments, may include triggering a random access procedure at a user equipment. The method may also include switching at the user equipment from a first uplink bandwidth part that does not support a random access channel to a second uplink bandwidth part that has the random access channel configured after the triggering of the random access procedure. The switching may be autonomously performed by the user equipment. In addition, the method may include performing the random access procedure at the user equipment using the random access channel configured at the second uplink bandwidth part.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods, devices and computer readable storage media for determining a transport block size (TBS) for Contention Free Random Access (CFRA) in a random access procedure. In example embodiments, a CFRA request is transmitted by a terminal device to a network device during a random access procedure. The terminal device receives a random access response to the CFRA request from the network device. The random access response indicates a TBS granted by the network device for use in transmission. Based on the granted TBS, the terminal device transmits, to the network device, a first data block with the granted TBS or a second data block to be transmitted and stored in a buffer. In this way, the data loss may be avoided, and the data transmission efficiency may be improved.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods for a random access procedure. An example method may include transmitting a random access request to perform a random access procedure, starting a random access response window, and performing at least one of: being in an active time while the random access response window is running, and starting at least one discontinuous reception timer when receiving a PDCCH transmission addressed to a RNTI. Related apparatuses and computer readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: A method, an apparatus and a computer readable medium ae disclosed for early data transmission determinations using an uplink grant. The method includes obtaining Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling to be transmitted to a network device and data to be transmitted with the RRC signaling. The method also includes, in response to receiving a Random Access Response with uplink grant from the network device, determining, based on the uplink grant, whether the data is allowed to be transmitted with the RRC signaling. In addition, the method also includes, in response to determining whether the data is allowed to be transmitted with the RRC signaling, generating a media access control (MAC) packet data unit (PDU) and transmitting the MAC PDU the network device.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method, device and computer readable storage media for optimizing buffer state report (BSR) for limited traffic mix. In example embodiments, whether a short or long BSR being reported is up to the configuration of LCG or the configuration of LCH within the LCG. In this way, minimum overhead for low bit rate services can be kept and thus a good coverage can be achieved, while the reporting information can be increased for other traffic.
