Abstract: An accordion wall structure includes three primary components, namely two linkage systems and four wall panels. The linkage systems are adeptly positioned both at the upper and lower extremities of each wall panel. The composition of the linkage system is meticulously engineered, featuring gear sets and linkage bars that work in concert to ensure seamless functionality. A hydraulic component can be used for the propulsion of the first link and the subsequent rotation of the initial wall panel. During the rotation of the wall panels, the interconnected gearsets of the linkage systems are consistently aligned generally parallel to the main mount due to their linkage connection. The direct coupling between the gears and the panel ensures synchronous rotation between them. The gearsets of the linkage systems ensure a synchronized rotation of the gears. This coordinated rotation further translates into the simultaneous rotation of the adjacent wall panel.

Performing the MP transmissions includes transmitting, repeatedly, an RA preamble, on the PRACH resource configured for the MP transmissions, before the UE begins monitoring a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) for receiving a Random Access Response (RAR) that corresponds to the RA preamble.
