Abstract

A bit error may occur when data is transmitted in the 5G/6G cellular system. Hybrid Automatic Repeat and reQuest (HARQ) for an error correction and retransmission method is being applied as an error control method to solve this problem. Bit errors can also occur during the MsgA transmission process for the initial connection of the 2-step RACH procedure, a random access method announced in Release 16 of the 3GPP. However, HARQ is not currently applied in the MsgA transmission process. In this paper, we propose a method that applies HARQ to the MsgA transmission process to improve the initial connection of the 2-step RACH procedure. We analyze the transmission process using analytical Markov Chain Model. For performance analysis, the performance of the HARQ-applied method is compared to the performance of the existing transmission method. As a result of comparative analysis, in the case of 256QAM, the HARQ-applied method at saturation of −6 dB increased by about 61% compared to the existing method.
