REDUCED CONTROL CHANNEL MONITORING FOR RANDOM ACCESS PROCEDURES

Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, a user equipment (UE) implement a timer (e.g., a round-trip time (RTT) timer) during which it does not monitor a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH). The UE may initiate the timer after transmitting a first random access message or a four-step random access message, or transmitting or retransmitting a third random access message of a four-step random access procedure, or after a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource for hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback for a fourth message of a four-step random access procedure. The UE may initiate the timer after transmitting a first message of a two-step random access procedure, or after a PUCCH resource for HARQ feedback for a second message of a two-step random access procedure, or after a fixed offset from the end of a PDSCH of a two-step random access procedure.
