Abstract

A first receiver receives at least one of multiple reference signals; and selects a first reference signal, the first reference signal being one of the multiple reference signals; a first transmitter determines a target PRACH occasion group; and transmits a first random access preamble in the target PRACH occasion group; herein, the determining a target PRACH occasion group comprises: determining a first element from a first set; the first set comprises multiple elements, and each element in the first set comprises at least one PRACH occasion mapped to the first reference signal; the determining a target PRACH occasion group comprises: randomly selecting a PRACH occasion group from a first PRACH occasion group set with equal probability; each PRACH occasion group in the first PRACH occasion group set is mapped to the first reference signal, each PRACH occasion group in the first PRACH occasion group set comprises K PRACH occasions.

First claim

What is claimed is:

2 . The first node according to claim 1 , characterized in that the first PRACH occasion group set depends on the first element.

3 . The first node according to claim 1 , characterized in that each element in the first set is a PRACH occasion group, and each PRACH occasion group in the first set is mapped to the first reference signal, each PRACH occasion group in the first set comprising K PRACH occasions.

4 . The first node according to claim 1 , characterized in that determination of K depends on RSRP.

5 . The first node according to claim 1 , characterized in that the multiple reference signals are multiple SSBs respectively.

6 . The first node according to claim 1 , characterized in that the target PRACH occasion group is the PRACH occasion group selected from the first PRACH occasion group set.

7 . The first node according to claim 1 , characterized in comprising:

8 . A second node for wireless communications, comprising:
a second transmitter, transmitting multiple reference signals; and a second receiver, receiving a first random access preamble in a target PRACH occasion group; wherein a transmitting end of the first random access preamble selects a first reference signal and determines the target PRACH occasion group; the first reference signal is one of the multiple reference signals; the determining the target PRACH occasion group comprises: determining a first element from a first set; the first set comprises multiple elements, and each element in the first set comprises at least one PRACH occasion mapped to the first reference signal; the determining the target PRACH occasion group comprises: randomly selecting a PRACH occasion group from a first PRACH occasion group set with equal probability; each PRACH occasion group in the first PRACH occasion group set is mapped to the first reference signal, and each PRACH occasion group in the first PRACH occasion group set comprises K PRACH occasions, K being a positive integer greater than 1; a period of a first type includes multiple association pattern periods, and the first PRACH occasion group set depends on a period of the first type.

9 . The second node according to claim 8 , characterized in that the first PRACH occasion group set depends on the first element.

10 . The second node according to claim 8 , characterized in that each element in the first set is a PRACH occasion group, and each PRACH occasion group in the first set is mapped to the first reference signal, each PRACH occasion group in the first set comprising K PRACH occasions.

11 . The second node according to claim 8 , characterized in that the multiple reference signals are multiple SSBs respectively.

12 . The second node according to claim 8 , characterized in that the target PRACH occasion group is the PRACH occasion group selected from the first PRACH occasion group set.

13 . The second node according to claim 8 , characterized in comprising:
the second transmitter, transmitting a first information block; wherein the first information block comprises information indicative of a PRACH mask index; determination of the target PRACH occasion group depends on the first information block, each PRACH occasion in the target PRACH occasion group being a PRACH occasion indicated by the first information block.

14 . A method in a first node for wireless communications, comprising:
receiving at least one of multiple reference signals; and selecting a first reference signal, the first reference signal being one of the multiple reference signals; and determining a target PRACH occasion group; and transmitting a first random access preamble in the target PRACH occasion group; wherein the determining a target PRACH occasion group comprises: determining a first element from a first set; the first set comprises multiple elements, and each element in the first set comprises at least one PRACH occasion mapped to the first reference signal; the determining a target PRACH occasion group comprises: randomly selecting a PRACH occasion group from a first PRACH occasion group set with equal probability; each PRACH occasion group in the first PRACH occasion group set is mapped to the first reference signal, and each PRACH occasion group in the first PRACH occasion group set comprises K PRACH occasions, K being a positive integer greater than 1; a period of a first type includes multiple association pattern periods, and the first PRACH occasion group set depends on a period of the first type.
