Abstract

Techniques discussed herein can facilitate power ramping of PRACH (Physical Random Access Channel), for example, in connection with change of best gNB (next generation Node B) Tx (Transmit) beam and/or dynamic beam switching for control and/or data channels. Power ramping techniques discussed herein can comprise techniques for determining at least one of a power ramping counter or power offset for PRACH in connection with a change in best DL (Downlink) Tx (Transmit) beam. Dynamic beam switching techniques discussed herein can comprise employing DCI comprising at least one beam indication field indicating a beam index of a new beam of a BPL (Beam Pair Link) for at least one of a data channel or a control SS (Search Space).
