    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for a user equipment (UE) receiving, from a base station, one or more random access channel (RACH) configurations. The RACH configurations may allocate resources for a contention-based RACH procedure for accessing a wireless network. Based on the RACH configurations, the UE may determine a set of random access occasions for an association period. From the set of random access occasions, the UE may map one or more indices of a plurality of synchronization signal blocks to one or more random access occasions. Using the one or more random access occasions, the UE may transmit a random access sequence, including one or more repetitions of the random access sequence to the base station to access the wireless network.
