AI Technical Summary
Current wireless communication systems face inefficiencies in performing random access procedures, particularly in unlicensed bands, due to high latency and resource inefficiency caused by contention-based channel access methods.
A method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving signals in a wireless communication system, where the number of PRACH slots in a reference slot is optimized to improve random access efficiency, allowing for more efficient channel access by adjusting the number of slots based on specific configurations, such as N-1, N/2-1, and N-2, to reduce latency and increase resource utilization.
The proposed solution enables a more efficient random access procedure, reducing latency and improving resource utilization in wireless communication systems, especially in unlicensed bands, by optimizing the number of PRACH slots, thereby enhancing overall system performance.
