Prioritizing multiple random access channel procedures

Abstract

A method for operating a UE is provided. This method includes determining that a first trigger for initiating a first random access (RA) procedure has been met. After determining that the first trigger has been met, the method further includes determining that a second trigger for initiating a second RA procedure has been met, before the first RA occasion. Finally, in response to determining that the second trigger has been met, the method includes prioritizing either the first or second RA procedure. The prioritization is based on one or more prioritization rules. Related UEs, computer programs, computer program products, and non-temporary computer-readable media are also provided.
