FeatureCombinationPreambles information element
FeatureCombinationPreambles field descriptions
deltaPreamble
Power offset between msg3 or msgA-PUSCH and RACH preamble transmission. If configured, this parameter overrides msg3-DeltaPreamble or msgA-DeltaPreamble, Actual value = field value * 2 [dB] (see clause 7.1 of TS 38.213). If msgA-DeltaPreamble is configured in separateMsgA-PUSCH-Config-r17, this field is absent. This field is set to the same value for all FeatureCombinationPreambles for MSG1 repetitions.
featureCombination
Indicates which combination of features that the preambles indicated by this IE are associated with. The UE ignores a RACH resource defined by this FeatureCombinationPreambles if any feature within the featureCombination is not supported by the UE or if any of the spare fields within the featureCombination is set to true.
messagePowerOffsetGroupB
Threshold for preamble selection. Value is in dB. Value minusinfinity corresponds to -infinity. Value dB0 corresponds to 0 dB, dB5 corresponds to 5 dB and so on (see clause 5.1.2 of TS 38.321).

Indicates a time offset of the starting ROs between two successive RO groups for a given repetition number (2, 4 or 8) associated with this FeatureCombinationPreambles for each frequency resource index within a time period (see TS 38.213). If this field is absent, the time offset is implicitly determined (see TS 38.213).
For each MSG1 repetition number, the following values are applicable.
  • {n16}, for RO groups for MSG1 repetition number 8
  • {n8, n16}, for RO groups for MSG1 repetition number 4
  • {n4, n8, n16}, for RO groups for MSG1 repetition number 2
msgA-RSRP-Threshold
The UE selects 2-step random access type to perform random access based on this threshold (see clause 5.1.1 of TS 38.321). This field is only present if both 2-step and 4-step RA type are configured for the concerned feature combination in the BWP. If configured, this parameter overrides msgA-RSRP-Threshold-r16. If absent, the UE applies msgA-RSRP-Threshold-r16, if configured
numberOfPreamblesPerSSB-ForThisPartition
It determines how many consecutive preambles are associated to the Feature Combination starting from the starting preamble(s) per SSB.
numberOfRA-PreamblesGroupA

ra-SizeGroupA
Transport Blocks size threshold in bits below which the UE shall use a contention-based RA preamble of group A. (see clause 5.1.2 of TS 38.321). If this feature combination preambles are associated to a RACH-ConfigCommon-twostepRA, this field correspond to ra-MsgA-SizeGroupA, otherwise it corresponds to ra-Msg3SizeGroupA.
rsrp-ThresholdSSB
UE may select the SS block and corresponding PRACH resource for path-loss estimation and (re)transmission based on SS blocks that satisfy the threshold (see TS 38.213). If this parameter is included in FeatureCombinationPreambles which is included in RACH-ConfigCommonTwoStepRA, it corresponds to msgA-RSRP-ThresholdSSB, as defined in TS 38.321. If this parameter is included in FeatureCombinationPreambles which is included in RACH-ConfigCommon, it it corresponds to rsrp-ThresholdSSB, as defined in TS 38.321.
separateMsgA-PUSCH-Config
If present it specifies how the 2-step RACH preambles identified by this FeatureCombinationPreambles are mapped to a PUSCH slot separate from the one defined in MsgA-ConfigCommon-r16. If the field is absent, the UE should apply the corresponding parameter in the RACH-ConfigCommonTwoStepRA of the BWP which includes the FeatureCombinationPreambles IE.
ssb-SharedRO-MaskIndex
Mask index (see TS 38.321). Indicates a subset of ROs where preambles are allocated for this feature combination.
If this field is configured within FeatureCombinationPreambles which is included in RACH-ConfigCommonTwoStepRA:
  • in case of separate ROs are configured for 4-step and 2-step random access, this field indicates a subset of ROs configured within this RACH-ConfigCommonTwoStepRA;
  • in case shared ROs are used for 4-step and 2-step random access, it indicates the subset of ROs configured within RACH-ConfigCommon, which are the subset of ROs configured for 2-step random access.
This field is configured when there is more than one RO per SSB. If the field is absent, all ROs configured in RACH-ConfigCommon or RACH-ConfigCommonTwoStepRA containing this FeatureCombinationPreambles are shared.
startPreambleForThisPartition
It defines the first preamble associated with the Feature Combination. If the UE is provided with a number N of SSB block indexes associated with one PRACH occasion, and N<1, the first preamble in each PRACH occasion is the one having the same index as indicated by this field. If N≥1, N blocks of preambles associated with the Feature Combination are defined, each having start index + startPreambleForThisPartition, where n refers to SSB block index (see clause 8.1 of TS 38.213).
Conditional Presence Explanation
MsgAConfigCommonThe field is optionally present, Need S, if FeatureCombinationPreambles is included in RACH-ConfigCommonTwoStepRA. Otherwise, it is absent. If the field is absent in FeatureCombinationPreambles included in RACH-ConfigCommonTwoStepRA, the UE applies MsgA-PUSCH-Config included in the corresponding MsgA-ConfigCommon.
Msg1Rep2The field is mandatory present, Need R, if msg1-Repetitions is included in FeatureCombination for this concerned FeatureCombinationPreambles. Otherwise, it is absent.
Msg1Rep3The field is optionally present, Need S, if msg1-Repetitions is included in FeatureCombination for this concerned FeatureCombinationPreambles. Otherwise, it is absent.

This is supported in case the SCell for which the UE obtains the timing reference is in the same or different frequency band as the cell (i.e. the SpCell or the SCell, respectively) from which the UE obtains the timing reference.
