Abstract: An apparatus and system to compensate for phase noise in a 5G or 6G DFT-S-OFDM signal are described. An access port (AP)-specific orthogonal cover code (OCC) is applied to phase tracking reference signal (PTRS) symbols in each of a plurality of PTRS groups. The PTRS group are inserted between data symbols to form a data vector prior to perform transform precoding on the data vector and transmission to a UE. The UE extracts the PTRS symbols from different PTRS APs using the OCC specific to each AP. After extraction, the phase noise for each PTRS group is estimated and used to compensate the data symbols associated with the PTRS group.

Abstract: A radio terminal (2) attempts to receive a second message of a 2-step random access procedure after transmitting a first message of the 2-step random access procedure. In response to successfully receiving the second message of the 2-step random access procedure and determining that the second message explicitly or implicitly indicates a fallback to a 4-step random access procedure, the radio terminal (2) further attempts to receive a control message that contains an uplink grant indicating uplink resources available for transmission of a third message of a 4-step random access procedure. This contributes to, for example, reducing the load on a radio terminal that supports a fallback from the 2-step random access procedure to the 4-step random access procedure.
