[0029] Regarding the transmission modes in the various embodiments of this application, multiple transmission modes can refer to transmission modes that have significant differences in one or more aspects such as power consumption, frequency band, data rate, and transmission waveform. They can refer to different operating parameters used by the same communication hardware module, or they can be different multiple communication modules.

The transmission mode can also be described as a communication device, communication mode, transmit mode (Tx mode), receive mode, or power class. Different types of transmission modes can include, for example, high-power devices and low-power devices, or high-power transmit mode (Tx mode) and low-power transmit mode (Tx mode); or they can be understood as high-power transmitters and low-power transmitters.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, this application embodiment provides a signal transmission processing method 200, which can be executed by a terminal. In other words, the method can be executed by software or hardware installed on the terminal, and the method includes the following steps.

[0031] S202: The terminal performs at least one of the following based on the attribute information of the first signal: 1) determining the transmission rules in the event of a conflict between the first signal and the second signal; 2) determining the transmission resources of the second signal based on the relevant resources for the transmission of the first signal; 3) determining the transmission direction rules on the relevant resources for the transmission of the first signal; 4) determining the first signal associated with the transmission of the second signal; 5) determining the type of the first signal or a subset of the first signal; 6) determining the set of the first signals; 7) determining the PRACH resources associated with the first signal.

[0032] The terminal can be any device capable of receiving, reflecting, or forwarding the first signal.

[0033] The first signal may include at least one of the following: a synchronization signal or physical broadcast channel block (SSB), an on-demand SSB, a skipped SSB, a system message downlink broadcast channel or the control channel of the system message downlink broadcast channel, a reference signal (e.g., WUS, CSI-RS), a PRACH, a common physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), a Msg3 physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), a MsgA PUSCH, a configured grant (CG) PUSCH, a wake-up signal (WUS), etc. Subsequent embodiments often use an SSB as an example to illustrate the first signal; embodiments using an SSB as an example are generally also applicable to other first signals besides the SSB. It should be noted that the "signal" mentioned in the various embodiments of this application may also include "channel". For example, the first signal may include not only signals such as WUS, but also channels such as CG PUSCH; the second signal may include not only signals such as probe reference signals, but also channels such as PRACH.

[0034] The attribute information of the first signal may include the type of the first signal (such as period, structure, frequency domain resource location, etc.); the state of the first signal (such as active or inactive state, valid or invalid state); whether the first signal is ignored; the information carried by the first signal; the index or index group of the first signal; the specific identifier (ID) or ID group associated with the first signal; and the transmission mode of the first signal (such as period, transmission power, etc.).

[0035] In one embodiment, the terminal can determine the transmission rules in the event of a conflict between the first signal and the second signal based on the attribute information of the first signal. For example, based on the attribute information of the first signal, it can determine whether to cancel the transmission or reception of the first signal; whether to cancel the transmission or reception of the second signal; and whether to associate the second signal with the first signal.

[0036] A conflict between the first signal and the second signal can include at least one of the following: 1) The first signal and the second signal overlap, partially overlap, or the interval does not exceed a first value, wherein the first value can be configured by the network-side device or predefined, such as by a protocol; 2) The first signal and the second signal conflict in the time domain, frequency domain, or spatial domain. For example, the first signal and the second signal overlap, partially overlap, or the interval does not exceed the first value in the time domain; the first signal and the second signal overlap, partially overlap, or the interval does not exceed the first value in the frequency domain; the first signal and the second signal overlap, partially overlap, or the interval does not exceed the first value in the spatial domain.

[0037] This embodiment can avoid transmission problems caused by signal conflicts, which is beneficial to improving the transmission performance of the first signal or the second signal.

[0038] In one embodiment, the terminal may determine the transmission resources of the second signal based on the attribute information of the first signal and the related resources for the transmission of the first signal. For example, it may determine whether the related resources can be used as the transmission resources of the second signal or whether the related resources for the transmission of the first signal are valid.

[0039] The aforementioned resources may include not only the transmission resources of the first signal, but also resources whose interval (such as time domain interval or frequency domain interval) with the transmission resources of the first signal does not exceed a certain value.

[0040] This embodiment is beneficial for making full use of the relevant resources for the transmission of the first signal, and the relevant resources can be used to transmit the first signal or the second signal, thereby improving the transmission performance of the first signal or the second signal.

[0041] In one embodiment, the terminal can determine the transmission direction rules on the relevant resources for transmitting the first signal based on the attribute information of the first signal. For example, it can determine whether a second signal can be sent on the relevant resources or whether a second signal can be received on the relevant resources.

[0042] This embodiment can determine the transmission direction rules on relevant resources, avoid transmission problems caused by chaotic transmission direction, facilitate effective signal transmission, and improve the transmission performance of the first signal or the second signal.

[0043] In one embodiment, the terminal may determine the first signal associated with the second signal transmission based on the attribute information of the first signal. For example, it may determine whether the first signal associated with the second signal transmission is a specific signal type (such as a first signal with a large cycle), a specific signal state (such as an activated first signal), or an ignored signal. The specific signal type may be any one or more of a variety of signal types, and the specific signal state may be any one or more of a variety of signal states.

[0044] This embodiment can determine the first signal associated with the transmission of the second signal based on the attribute information of the first signal, thereby realizing the effective transmission of the first signal or the second signal and improving the transmission performance of the first signal or the second signal.

[0045] In one embodiment, the terminal may determine the type of the first signal or a subset of the first signal based on the attribute information of the first signal. For example, if the type of the first signal or the subset of the first signal used in different transmission modes of the first signal is different, the terminal may determine the type of the first signal or the subset of the first signal based on the transmission mode of the first signal.

[0046] This embodiment can determine the type of the first signal or a subset of the first signal based on the attribute information of the first signal, thereby facilitating the effective transmission of the first signal and improving the transmission performance of the first signal.

[0047] In one embodiment, the terminal can determine the set of the first signals based on the attribute information of the first signals. For example, if the same set of signals (the set of the first signals) is used in different transmission modes of the first signals, the terminal can determine the set of the first signals based on the transmission mode of the first signals.

[0048] This embodiment can determine the set of the first signal based on the attribute information of the first signal, which is conducive to the effective transmission of the first signal and improves the transmission performance of the first signal.

[0049] In one embodiment, the terminal can determine the PRACH resource associated with the first signal based on the attribute information of the first signal. For example, the PRACH resource configuration used in different transmission modes of the first signal can be the same or different, and the terminal can determine the PRACH resource associated with the first signal based on the transmission mode of the first signal.

[0050] This embodiment can determine the PRACH resource associated with the first signal based on the attribute information of the first signal, thereby facilitating the effective transmission of the first signal or the second signal by utilizing the PRACH resource and improving the transmission performance of the first signal or the second signal.

[0051] The signal transmission processing method provided in this application embodiment allows a terminal to perform at least one of the following actions based on the attribute information of a first signal: determining transmission rules in the event of a conflict between the first signal and a second signal; determining transmission resources for the second signal based on the relevant resources for the transmission of the first signal; determining transmission direction rules on the relevant resources for the transmission of the first signal; determining the first signal associated with the transmission of the second signal; determining the type of the first signal or a subset of the first signals; determining the set of the first signals; and determining the PRACH resources associated with the first signal. This method facilitates the effective transmission of the first signal and improves the performance of the communication system.

[0052] In one embodiment, the attribute information of the first signal includes at least one of the following: 1) The type of the first signal.

[0053] The type of the first signal in various embodiments of this application includes, but is not limited to, the period size, structure, frequency domain resource location, partial signal type (e.g., the first part of the first signal, the second part of the first signal), the transmission power of the first signal or a partial signal of the first signal, whether it is an on-demand signal, whether it is associated with a certain on-demand signal, etc., at least one of the following.

[0054] For example, when the first signal is an SSB, the type of SSB includes, but is not limited to, the SSB period size, SSB structure, location of SSB frequency domain resources (sync raster, band / subband / carrier / Bandwidth portion BWP), type of SSB part signal (e.g., SSB first part, SSB second part), transmission power of SSB or SSB part signal, whether the SSB is an on-demand SSB, and whether it is associated with a certain on-demand signal (e.g., on-demand PRACH).

[0055] The On-demand SSB mentioned in the various embodiments of this application can be any downlink synchronization and / or broadcast signal that can be activated, deactivated, or switched on / off. It can activate some SSB indexes or activate all SSB indexes. A normal SSB, as opposed to an On-demand SSB, is an SSB that does not require activation.

[0056] 2) The state of the first signal.

[0057] The state of the first signal mentioned in the various embodiments of this application includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: the first signal is in an active state or an inactive state; the first signal is in a valid state or an invalid state; whether the first signal is associated with other signals; and whether the first signal is actually transmitted.

[0058] For example, when the first signal is SSB, the state of SSB includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: whether SSB is active or inactive, whether SSB is valid or invalid, whether SSB is associated with other signals, and whether SSB is actually transmitted.

[0059] The activation or deactivation of the first signal can be to allow or disallow network testing devices from sending the first signal on the corresponding resource, and / or to allow or disallow terminals from detecting the first signal on the corresponding resource.

[0060] Activation or deactivation can refer to activating or deactivating the first signal, or it can refer to requesting activation or deactivation of the first signal. Sometimes it is simply referred to as activation or deactivation. The activation or deactivation signal can be used to activate or deactivate the first signal, or it can be used to request activation or deactivation of the first signal.

[0061] 3) Whether the first signal is an ignored signal.

[0062] The ignored signal can be the first signal that is not actually sent, or it can be the first signal that is not enabled or activated within a specific time window.

[0063] For example, if the first signal is an SSB (Service Subsystem for Broadband), for on-demand SSBs, the network-side equipment can configure a skipping pattern to determine which SSBs will be ignored and not actually transmitted. In this case, only the transmitted SSBs are considered. The system determines whether the SSB overlaps with the second signal, partially overlaps, or the interval does not exceed a first value, thus deciding whether the second signal should be transmitted. Alternatively, it determines whether the resources associated with the SSB are available or valid resources for the transmission of the second signal, or whether the second signal is associated with the SSB. It also determines whether the resources associated with the SSB are used for transmission or reception in each of multiple cells in a specific direction, or whether partial reception and partial transmission are possible.

[0064] For example, if the first signal is an SSB (Special Signal Block), and for beam hopping SSB transmission, only some SSBs may be transmitted at different times. In this case, only the transmitted SSBs are considered to determine whether the SSB overlaps with the second signal, partially overlaps, or the interval does not exceed a first value, thereby deciding whether the second signal should be transmitted. Alternatively, it can determine whether the resources associated with the SSB are available or effective resources for the transmission of the second signal, or whether the second signal is associated with the SSB. It can also determine whether the resources associated with the SSB are used for transmission or reception in a certain direction in each of multiple cells, or whether partial reception and partial transmission are possible.

[0065] 4) The information carried by the first signal.

[0066] For example, the first signal is an SSB. The information carried by the SSB can be the SSB-bearing sequence, waveform, or modulation and coding scheme (MCS); it can also be a specific bit carried by the SSB, or a specific bit carried by the Master Information Block (MIB) in the SSB.

[0067] 5) The index or index group of the first signal.

[0068] For example, if the first signal is an SSB, this embodiment can define, configure, or associate different indexes for different SSB types, and then perform the operations listed in S202 based on the SSB index. For example, for SSBs with an SSB index greater than N, validity determination for RACH Occasion (RO) is not considered; while for SSBs with an SSB index no greater than N, validity determination for RO is considered. Here, N can be specified by network configuration or protocol. The validity determination for RO can be to determine whether the RO can be used as a transmission resource for the second signal.

[0069] 6) The specific identifier (ID) or ID group associated with the first signal.

[0070] For example, if the first signal is an SSB, this embodiment can associate different IDs or ID groups with different SSB types, and then perform the operations listed in S202 according to the ID or ID group associated with the SSB.

[0071] 7) The transmission mode of the first signal.

[0072] The transmission mode of the first signal in various embodiments of this application includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: period size, structure, frequency domain resource location, type of partial signal (e.g., the first part of the first signal, the second part of the first signal), transmission power of the first signal or a partial signal of the first signal, whether it is an on-demand signal, and whether it is associated with a certain on-demand signal.

[0073] For example, when the first signal is an SSB, the transmission mode of the SSB includes, but is not limited to, the SSB period size, the SSB structure, the location of the SSB frequency domain resources (sync raster, band / subband / carrier / Bandwidth portion BWP), the type of the SSB part signal (e.g., the first part of the SSB, the second part of the SSB), the transmission power of the SSB or the SSB part signal, whether the SSB is an on-demand SSB, and whether it is associated with a certain on-demand signal (e.g., the on-demand PRACH signal), etc.

[0074] Future networks may need to support first signals (such as SSBs) with different attribute information, thus enabling their application to different terminal types, application scenarios, and different frequency bands or time resources. For certain types of SSBs, it is not necessarily necessary to restrict the transmission of other signals on their associated resources.

[0075] Therefore, for transmission rules in cases where a first signal (such as an SSB) conflicts with a second signal, different transmission rules can be applied to different types of the first signal. For example, if the first signal is an SSB, and it is an active SSB, if it is not active and conflicts with the second signal, the transmission or reception of the second signal can still be allowed, thereby improving resource utilization. Furthermore, considering different types of SSBs, determining whether the resources associated with the SSB can be used for the transmission or reception of the second signal based on whether the SSB is actually active or being transmitted can effectively reduce the transmission delay of the second signal and, to a certain extent, improve the effective retransmission of the signal, thereby enhancing the reliability of the received signal.

[0076] In one embodiment, determining the transmission rules in the event of a conflict between the first signal and the second signal includes at least one of the following: 1) Determine whether to cancel the transmission or reception of the first signal if a conflict occurs between the first signal and the second signal, for example, whether to cancel the reception of the SSB. It is understood that if the first signal is a downlink signal (e.g., SSB), the terminal can determine in this step whether to cancel the reception of the first signal; if the first signal is an uplink signal (e.g., Msg3 PUSCH), the terminal can determine in this step whether to cancel the transmission of the first signal.

[0077] 2) Determine whether to cancel the transmission or reception of the second signal if the first signal and the second signal conflict.

[0078] 3) Determine whether to associate the second signal with the first signal if the first signal and the second signal conflict.

[0079] In this embodiment, for example, the first signal is an SSB, and the attribute information of the first signal includes the type of SSB (period, including large period and small period). In the event of a conflict between the SSB and the second signal, when the SSB is a small period SSB, the second signal is sent (i.e., the reception of the SSB is canceled); when the SSB is a large period SSB, the second signal is neither sent nor received.

[0080] In the various embodiments of this application, the definitions of large-cycle SSB and small-cycle SSB can be based on a specific SSB period as a reference. SSBs larger than a specific SSB period are large-cycle SSBs, and SSBs not larger than a specific SSB period are small-cycle SSBs.

[0081] For example, in this embodiment, the first signal is an SSB, and the attribute information of the first signal includes the state of the SSB (active or inactive). When an SSB conflicts with a second signal, the processing is only considered when the conflict occurs between an active SSB and the second signal; inactive SSBs are not considered. Alternatively, the processing is only considered when an active and effective SSB conflicts with the second signal; inactive SSBs or SSBs that are active but not yet effective are not considered.

[0082] For example, in this embodiment, the first signal is an SSB, and the attribute information of the first signal includes the information carried by the SSB (sequence / waveform / MCS). In the event of a conflict between the SSB and the second signal, when the SSB uses sequence A as the PSS / SSS / DMRS, the second signal is sent; when the SSB uses sequence B as the PSS / SSS / DMRS, the second signal is not sent. As another example, when the SSB uses waveform / MCS A to send information, the second signal is sent; when the SSB uses waveform / MCS B to send information, the second signal is not sent.

[0083] In another example of this embodiment, the first signal is an SSB. The attribute information of the first signal includes information carried by the SSB (MIB or specific bits carried by the SSB). In the event of a conflict between the SSB and the second signal, when the specific bit is 1, the second signal is sent; when the specific bit is 0, the second signal is not sent. The specific bit can also be used to indicate the type information of the SSB.

[0084] In one embodiment, determining the transmission resources of the second signal based on the relevant resources of the first signal transmission includes: determining whether the relevant resources of the first signal transmission can be used as transmission resources of the second signal or whether the relevant resources of the first signal transmission are valid, for example, determining whether the aforementioned relevant resources are valid resources for the transmission of the second signal.

[0085] In this embodiment, for example, the first signal is an SSB, and the attribute information of the first signal includes the type of SSB (period, including large period and small period). For example, when the SSB is a small period SSB, the related resources transmitted by the SSB are available or valid resources for the transmission of the second signal; when the SSB is a large period SSB, the related resources of the SSB are unavailable or invalid resources for the transmission of the second signal.

[0086] In various embodiments of this application, the transmission of the second signal includes the initial transmission, retransmission, or repeated transmission of the second signal.

[0087] In one embodiment, determining the transmission direction rule on the relevant resources for the first signal transmission includes: determining whether the terminal supports sending or receiving the second signal on the relevant resources for the first signal transmission.

[0088] Determining whether the terminal supports sending or receiving the second signal on the relevant resources of the first signal transmission includes: determining whether the terminal supports sending or receiving the second signal on multiple cells, carriers, or bands on the relevant resources of the first signal transmission.

[0089] In this embodiment, for example, the first signal is an SSB, and the attribute information of the first signal includes the type of SSB (period, including large period and small period). For example, when the SSB is a small period SSB, the related resources of the SSB can receive certain second signals (such as downlink PDCCH) in some cells of multiple cells and can send one or more second signals (such as PUSCH transmission) in other cells; when the SSB is a large period SSB, the related resources of the SSB can only receive certain second signals (such as downlink PDCCH) in any cell.

[0090] In one embodiment, determining the first signal associated with the second signal transmission includes determining whether the first signal associated with the second signal transmission is: a specific signal type (such as a specific SSB type), a specific signal state (such as a specific SSB state), or an ignored signal (such as an ignored SSB).

[0091] In this embodiment, for example, the first signal is an SSB, and the attribute information of the first signal includes the type of SSB (period, including large period and small period). For example, when the SSB is a small period SSB, the second signal can be associated with the SSB; when the SSB is a large period SSB, the second signal is not associated with the SSB.

[0129] 6) PDSCH that sends random access response messages (Msg2, MsgB).

[0130] In different transmission modes, the selection of the first signal and the determination of the PRACH resource corresponding to the first signal need to consider whether to share or configure independently, so as to balance resource efficiency and configuration flexibility.

[0131] For example, for different types of SSB resources and PRACH resources under different transmission modes, it is necessary to consider the mapping relationship between the two, and to take into account both resource efficiency and configuration flexibility.

[0132] The following embodiments mainly introduce the selection of the first signal and the determination of the corresponding PRACH resources under various transmission modes, considering both shared and independent configurations, and balancing resource efficiency and configuration flexibility. For different types of first signal resources and PRACH resources under different transmission modes, the mapping relationship between the two is considered, and resource efficiency is also considered while maintaining a certain degree of configuration flexibility.

[0133] To more flexibly support the transmission of the first signal (such as SSB) under different transmission modes, different signal types need to be supported under different transmission modes.

[0134] In one embodiment, under different transmission modes, the terminal uses different types of the first signal or different subsets of the same type of the first signal. For example, under different transmission modes, different types of SSBs or different subsets of one type of SSB are used.

[0135] For example, in low-power PRACH transmission (first transmission mode), the corresponding SSB selection only considers a specific SSB type, such as a simplified SSB type. In high-power PRACH transmission mode (second transmission mode), the terminal will only select the corresponding other normal SSB type.

[0136] In this embodiment, a subset of the first signal may include at least one of the following: 1) A subset of the resources of the first signal, such as a subset of SSB resources. For example, SSB resources in different actual windows, or SSB resources corresponding to different SSB indices or combinations of SSB indices.

[0137] 2) A subset of the first signal, such as a subset of SSB.

[0138] A subset of the SSB could be a portion of the signals in the SSB, such as the PSS / SSS using one transmission mode and the PBCH and its DMRS using another transmission mode.

[0139] For example, an SSB is a hybrid modulation (e.g., OFDM / QAM and OOK hybrid modulation) and / or hybrid coded signal, including at least two modulation and / or hybrid coding methods. Parts of the SSB signals corresponding to different modulation and / or hybrid coding methods can be received using different transmission modes.

[0140] In one embodiment, the terminal uses the same set of the first signals in different transmission modes; for example, the same set of SSBs is used in different transmission modes.

[0141] For example, for non-energy-efficient network-side devices, the terminal supports two transmission scenarios. For the SSB selection corresponding to both PRACH transmission modes, only one SSB configuration needs to be considered.

[0142] The different transmission modes mentioned above may not be defined in the standard or protocol. The standard or protocol may simply define that it supports one or more SSB types.

[0143] In cases where different transmission modes are supported only in the uplink transmission, the downlink SSB can be a set.

[0144] For PRACH resource configuration, in order to more flexibly support PRACH transmission under different transmission modes, different transmission modes, different SSB types, or different SSB subsets of the same SSB type are required to support different PRACH types or resource sets.

[0145] In one embodiment, the first configurations corresponding to at least two different transmission modes are different, the first configurations corresponding to at least two different types of the first signals are different, or the first configurations corresponding to at least two different subsets of the first signals are different; wherein, the first configuration includes: PRACH resource configuration, or, PRACH resource subset configuration under the same PRACH resource configuration.

[0146] For example, different transport modes, SSB types, or SSB subsets may use different PRACH resource configurations, or different PRACH resource subsets may be configured under one PRACH resource configuration.

[0147] For example, in this embodiment, for low-power SSB reception, the corresponding PRACH resource selection only considers a specific PRACH type, such as a simplified PRACH type. For high-power SSB reception, the terminal will only select another normal type of PRACH resource.

[0148] For downlink transmissions that support different transmission modes (or protocols that are manifested as different SSB types applied to different transmission modes, or different subsets of the same SSB type), the PRACH resource can be a set.

[0149] In one embodiment, the second configuration is the same for at least two different transmission modes, the second configuration is the same for at least two different types of the first signal, or the second configuration is the same for at least two different subsets of the first signal; wherein the second configuration includes PRACH resource configuration.

[0150] For example, different transport modes, SSB types, or subsets of SSBs may use the same set of PRACH resources.

[0151] This embodiment, for example, considers a non-energy-efficient network device where the terminal supports two transmission modes. The different SSB types corresponding to the two downlink transmission modes can be associated with the same PRACH resource.

[0152] The determination of the association period from different SSB types to PRACH types needs to be based on the association method from SSB to PRACH.

[0153] In one embodiment, at least two different transmission modes are independently associated with a third configuration, at least two different types of the first signal are independently associated with a third configuration, or at least two different subsets of the first signal are independently associated with a third configuration; wherein the third configuration includes one or more PRACH resource configurations.

[0154] For example, different transmission modes, SSB types, or subsets of SSBs can be independently associated with one or more PRACH resource configurations. For instance, different groups of SSBs and ROs can be associated with various time periods together as a common association period, or the association period can be their own independent association period.

[0155] This embodiment may further include the following step: the terminal determines a public association period, the public association period including at least one of the following: 1) The maximum value of multiple associated periods.

[0156] 2) The least common multiple of multiple related periods.

[0157] 3) The minimum value of multiple associated periods.

[0158] 4) Function operation values ​​of multiple related cycles.

[0159] The multiple associated periods in this embodiment can be various time periods associated with different groups of SSB and RO.

[0160] In one embodiment, at least two different transmission modes are associated with a fourth configuration, at least two different types of the first signals are associated with a fourth configuration, or at least two different subsets of the first signals are associated with a fourth configuration; wherein the fourth configuration includes: one or more PRACH resource configurations, or a subset configuration of PRACH resources under the same PRACH resource configuration.

[0161] For example, different transport modes, SSB types, or subsets of SSBs may be associated together with one or more PRACH resource configurations, or together with different subsets of PRACH resource configurations under one PRACH resource configuration. This embodiment can define an association period.

[0162] In the two embodiments described above, the association period between the first signal and the PRACH resource may include at least one of the following: 1) The mapping period from the first signal to the PRACH resource.

[0163] For example, the mapping cycle from SSB to PRACH resources. This embodiment can be defined as a time length that ensures the SSB under consideration is associated at least once.

[0164] 2) The association period of the first signal to the PRACH resource.

[0165] For example, the association period from an SSB to a PRACH resource. This embodiment can be defined as a time length that ensures the SSB under consideration is associated at least once and the time length is an integer multiple of a certain period (such as the PRACH configuration period).

[0166] 3) The association mode cycle of the first signal to the PRACH resource.

[0167] For example, the association pattern period of SSB to PRACH resources in this embodiment can be defined as a time length that satisfies the condition that the SSB under consideration is associated at least once and the time length is an integer multiple of a certain period (such as the PRACH configuration period), and the mapping of SSB to PRACH remains unchanged between different time length windows, thus constituting a mapping pattern.

[0168] 4) The time window for PRACH retransmission associated with the first signal to the PRACH resource group.

[0169] For example, the time window associated between an SSB and a PRACH resource group for repeated PRACH transmissions. This embodiment can define a time length (window) that ensures at least one PRACH resource corresponding to any SSB can be found within this window, completing a specific number of repeated PRACH transmissions. For instance, this time window can be an integer multiple of the association mode period.
