Abstract
A method for performing random access by a User Equipment (UE) in a wireless network, comprises configuring at least one UE transmit beam for a transmission of a random access signal, generating the at least one UE transmit beam using an antenna array according to the configuration, and transmitting the random access signal to a base station (BS) on the at least one UE transmit beam. An user equipment for performing random access in a wireless network, the User Equipment comprises a processing circuit configured to configure at least one UE transmit beam for a transmission of a random access signal, and generate the at least one UE transmit beam using an antenna array according to the configuration, and transmit the random access signal to the Base Station (BS) on the at least one UE transmit beam.
