Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for random access of a wireless device. A distributed radio access network (RAN) entity may configure a random access (RA) resource and a RA preamble for a contention free random access of a wireless device. The distributed RAN entity may transmit, to a central RAN entity, a RA failure indication if it does not detect a RA preamble on the RA resource from a wireless device.
