Abstract

Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may receive RACH configuration information on a downlink carrier of a first set of carriers, wherein the RACH configuration information pertains to the first set of carriers and to a second set of carriers; and selectively perform a RACH procedure with regard to the first set of carriers or the second set of carriers based at least in part on the RACH configuration information. Numerous other aspects are provided.

         7 . The UE of  claim 1 , wherein the RA-RNTI is based at least on an index for a slot on which the message of the RACH procedure is transmitted. 
     
     
         8 . The UE of  claim 1 , wherein the RA-RNTI is based at least on a carrier frequency offset index for a carrier, of the first set of carriers or the second set of carriers, on which the message of the RACH procedure is transmitted. 
     
     
         9 . The UE of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to cause the UE to:

         10 . The UE of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the message of the RACH procedure is a first message of the RACH procedure, and   wherein the grant is for a second message of the RACH procedure.   
     
     
         11 . The UE of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to cause the UE to:
 unscramble the at least part of the information using a slot index and a carrier frequency offset index.   
     
     
         12 . The UE of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the message of the RACH procedure is a first message of the RACH procedure, and   wherein the one or more processors are further configured to cause the UE to:   receive a second message, of the RACH procedure, using a resource granted by the grant.   
     
     
         13 . A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
 transmitting a message of a random access channel (RACH) procedure; and   receiving information including a grant, wherein at least part of the information is scrambled using a random access radio network temporary identifier (RA-RNTI) that is associated with whether a first set of carriers or a second set of carriers is used for the RACH procedure.   
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13 ,
 wherein the RA-RNTI is associated at least with an uplink carrier identifier, and   wherein a value of the uplink carrier identifier indicates that one of the first set of carriers or the second set of carriers is used.   
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 13 ,
 wherein the message of the RACH procedure is a first message of the RACH procedure,   wherein the RA-RNTI is for a second message of the RACH procedure, and   wherein the second message of the RACH procedure is a random access response of the RACH procedure.
