System and method for preserving wireless transmissions

Abstract

Various aspects include a method for preserving a msg3 transmission. The method may include receiving, by a UE device, from a base station, a CI that overlaps with the msg3 transmission. Responsive to receiving the CI, the msg3 transmission is not canceled. Another method disclosed herein includes continuing an RA procedure. The method may include encoding a first part of the msgB. The method may include encoding a second part of the msgB. The method may include attempting to decode, by the UE device, the first part of the msgB. The method may include attempting to decode, by the UE device, the second part of the msgB. Based on successfully decoding of the first part of the msgB, and unsuccessfully decoding of the second part of the msgB, the method may include continuing the RA procedure.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method of implementing a random access (RA) procedure, the method comprising:
 receiving, by a user equipment (UE) device, an msgB transmission from a base station during the RA procedure;   applying, by the UE device, a decoding process to decode the msgB transmission;   based on successfully decoding of a first part of the msgB transmission, and unsuccessfully decoding of a second part of the msgB transmission, continuing the RA procedure.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein continuing the RA procedure includes transmitting the msgB transmission. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising splitting the msgB transmission into the first part and the second part. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 3 , wherein splitting further comprises storing, in the first part of the msgB, at least one of a) a time advance (TA), b) a temporary identifier, c) a random access preamble identifier (RAPID), or d) an uplink (UL) grant. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 3 , wherein splitting further comprises storing, in the first part of the msgB, all of a) a time advance (TA), b) a temporary identifier, c) a random access preamble identifier (RAPID), and d) an uplink (UL) grant. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5 , further comprising identifying the UE device the msgB transmission is intended for based on the RAPID. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6 , further comprising transmitting, by the UE device, a msg3 transmission based on the UL grant in continuation of the RA procedure. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein splitting further comprises storing, in the second part of the msgB, a contention resolution identifier.
