Abstract

A method and apparatus for transmitting a physical random access channel (PRACH) in a wireless communication system is provided. A user equipment (UE) receives multiple PRACH configurations which include a first PRACH configuration for new radio access technology (NR) downlink/uplink (DL/UL) carrier in a NR band and a second PRACH configuration for a supplemental UL carrier in a long-term evolution (LTE) band, and transmits at least one of a first PRACH for accessing the NR DL/UL carrier in the NL band by using a first PRACH power based on the first PRACH configuration, or a second PRACH for accessing the supplemental UL carrier in the LTE band by using a second PRACH power based on the second PRACH configuration. The first PRACH configuration and the second PRACH configuration include different PRACH power configuration.
