Abstract
Disclosed are systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media for use in a wireless network for facilitating radio access synchronization. The method includes receiving, from a user equipment (UE) a message having a media access control (MAC) control element (CE) format and comprising a MAC protocol data unit (PDU) structure, the message being formed by multiplexing one or more MAC service data units (SDUs). The method further includes generating a response message to the received message by multiplexing a MAC random access response (RAR) with one or more MAC SDUs. The method then transmits the response message to the UE.
