A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11877323B2) discloses a random access method performed by User Equipment (UE) and network side devices in a communication network. The method involves initiating random access on Synchronization Signal (SS) blocks and sending random access information, including the number of preambles sent on each SS block, to the network side device. The information exchange also includes sending an SS block index and details about the time-frequency resource associated with each SS block. The network side device, equipped with a processor and transceiver, receives this information from the UE, facilitating efficient random access in the network.

Furthermore, the patent details the configuration of the UE, comprising a processor and transceiver, to initiate random access on SS blocks and send corresponding information to the network side device. This includes transmitting the number of preambles sent on each SS block, an SS block index, and information about the time-frequency resource for random access. By following the method outlined in the patent claims, both UE and network side devices can effectively manage random access procedures in a communication network, ensuring seamless connectivity and resource allocation.
