1. A method for a device to communicate with one or more transmission points (TPs), comprising:
receiving a plurality of synchronization signals;
performing a plurality of measurements on the plurality of synchronization signals;
selecting a first synchronization signal with a measurement result above a threshold from the plurality of synchronization signals based on the plurality of measurements;
receiving a signal that includes configuration information indicating a mapping between a set of allowed random access resources and the first synchronization signal;
selecting a random access resource from the set of allowed random access resources based on the mapping; and
transmitting a random access signal on the selected random access resource to at least one of the one or more TPs.
