1. A method comprising:
transmitting, by a base station to a User Equipment (UE), a system information block (SIB) that informs a number of resource sets for random access (RA) preamble transmission in a resource from a resource set, wherein each resource set includes time, frequency, and code resources and is associated with a number of repetitions for a RA preamble transmission and with a maximum number of RA preamble transmissions, wherein the SIB is configured to enable the UE to determine the first number of repetitions for a transmission of a RA preamble, a corresponding first resource set, and a corresponding first maximum number of transmissions and a second number of repetitions for a transmission of a RA preamble, a corresponding second resource set, and a corresponding second maximum number of transmissions, and wherein the second number of repetitions is larger than the first number of repetitions; and receiving, from the UE:
the RA preamble, in a resource from the first resource set and with the first number of repetitions, until the UE receives a response for a RA preamble transmission with the first number of repetitions or until the first maximum number of RA preamble transmissions is reached; andthe RA preamble, in a resource from the second resource set and with the second number of repetitions, after the first maximum number of RA preamble transmissions is reached. |
