Abstract
A method by a user equipment (UE) is described. The method includes receiving, from a base station, system information including physical random access channel (PRACH) configuration information, wherein the PRACH configuration information includes a list of preamble index ranges and one or more first reference signal received power (RSRP) thresholds, wherein each preamble index range is associated with a synchronization signal block (SSB); selecting, based on a quantity of antenna branch equipped for the UE, one first RSRP threshold from the one or more first RSRP thresholds; selecting, based on one or more synchronization signal (SS)-RSRP values of a set of SSBs and the selected first RSRP threshold, an SSB from the set of SSBs; selecting a preamble index from the first preamble index range associated with the selected SSB; selecting, for the UE, a non-coverage enhancement (CE) mode or a CE mode, at least based on the selected first RSRP threshold.
