Abstract: A technique for performing or providing random access, RA, to a radio access network using an unlicensed channel (400) is described. As to a method aspect of the technique, a first listen-before-talk (LBT) operation on the unlicensed channel is performed. The first LBT operation indicates that the channel is occupied at a beginning (412) of a RA resource (410) for transmitting a RA message signal (304). A second LBT operation on the unlicensed channel (400) indicates that the channel (400) is idle within a part (414) of the RA resource (410) for transmitting the RA message signal (304). The RA message signal (304) is transmitted in response to the second LBT operation.
