Patent attributes
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. An example of a method in accordance with the present disclosure may include a UE identifying that the UE is configured to use a contention-based or uncoordinated (e.g., two-step) random access procedure including an uplink message and a downlink response, where the uplink message includes at least a preamble portion and a data portion. The UE may map an identifier of the UE into a block of source symbols, generate a codeword including a block of coded symbols from the block of source symbols, and generate a set of sequences, where each sequence is based at least in part on a value associated with a corresponding coded symbol of the block of coded symbols. The UE may transmit the generated set of sequences in a preamble portion of the uplink message.
