Random access preamble transmission • First step in the random access procedure is the transmission of a random access preamble • Indicates to the eNodeB the presence of a random access attempt and to allows the eNodeB to estimate the delay between the eNodeB and the UE • Random access preamble is transmitted on Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) • In a first step of the random access procedure, the UE selects one preamble to transmit on the PRACH
Preamble sequence generation • The preamble consists of two parts: • Preamble sequence • Cyclic prefix • In each cell, there are 64 preamble sequences available • Preamble sequences are constructed from one or several root Zadoff-Chu (ZC) sequences, by combining different cyclic shifts of each root sequence • Logical root ZC sequence index is broadcasted as part of the System Information • There are 838 different root ZC sequences used for random access and each ZC sequence consists of NZC = 839 samples • A new parameter is introduced in the current release for the Random access process:
rachRootSequence Planning • It can be beneficial to plan rachRootSequence such that the same root sequences are not used in neighboring cells • If the same root sequences are used in neighboring cells, and the PRACH allocation overlaps, this will lead to an increased false alarm ratio, where a random access preamble transmitted by a UE in the neighboring cell could be detected by the eNodeB • This is mainly a problem when the random access load is high • In cells, where UEs are traversing with high speed, the restricted set of root ZC sequences should be used • It could be applicable for cells that cover railways and highways • It is not applicable in USA because speeds on railways and highways do not exceed 105 mph (limit for 1900 MHz)
rachRootSequence Planning RECOMENDATION • It is recommended to set the parameter rachRootSequence to different values in neighboring cells to reduce the probability for false RACH detections • The values must differ by at least 10 between any two neighbors (and at most 827 since there is a wrap-around between the first and last value in the value range)
rachRootSequence PLANNING Process • PN planning tool in Planet will be used to generate a PN plan and then convert the PN plan to the rachRootSequence plan • Best server layer will be generated • Neighbor list will be created by utilizing best server layer in Planet • A PN plan with an increment of 7 will be generated • Gives 24 groups, no reserves • rachRootSequence grouping includes 28 groups (see slide 6) • Take the first 24 groups and replace the PN Plan created in Planet with values listed on slide 6 • 4 spare groups left
