Abstract

A method for random access channel (RACH) procedure in a wireless network by a user equipment (UE) is provided. The method includes determining a plurality of signal condition parameters associated with the UE. Further, the method includes determining whether at least one signal condition parameter of the plurality of signal condition parameters meets at least one signal condition threshold from a plurality of signal condition thresholds. Further, the method includes triggering one of a 2-step RACH procedure in response to determining that the at least one signal condition parameter of the plurality of signal condition parameters meets the at least one signal condition threshold, or a 4-step RACH procedure in response to determining that the at least one signal condition parameter of the plurality of signal condition parameters does not meet the at least one signal condition threshold.
