Question: In a preamble ramping cycle, as per telecommunications standards, what action does a User Equipment (UE) take after reaching the maximum allowed preambles in a cycle?
Option 1: The UE sends an ACK/NACK to the Base Station (BS) and then proceeds with data transmission.
Option 2: The UE initiates a new preamble ramping cycle up to a defined maximum number of cycles.
Option 3: The UE enters a dormant state, awaiting further instructions from the Serving Cell (SC).
Option 4: The UE stops transmitting preambles altogether after completing one full preamble cycle.
Explanation: Upon reaching the maximum number of preambles in a cycle, the UE repeats the ramping procedure. This means the UE continues with additional cycles until it reaches the predefined maximum number of preamble ramping cycles, emphasizing persistent signaling for a stable connection.
