1 PRACH Parameter Planning

In Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems, random access is important for initial UE access, handover implementation, connection reestablishment, and recovery of uplink time/frequency synchronization.

Compared with deterministic scheduling in the uplink and downlink, random access has the following characteristics:

UEs select preambles for network access at a random occasion.

The access result is random. Network access may fail. To resolve this problem, the random access control algorithm is used to improve the random access success rate.

Preambles with different Zadoff-Chu (ZC) sequences are orthogonal. Therefore, different ZC sequences configured for neighboring cells help prevent preamble collisions during random access. During PRACH parameter planning, ZC sequences must be planned to ensure that preambles with optimal detection performance are allocated to high-speed cells and that different preambles are allocated to neighboring cells.

1.1 Restrictions on Ncs SelectionNcs must be selected based on the following principles:

Preambles can be identified correctly.

eNodeB resources are used efficiently.

The relationship between Ncs, cell radius, and maximum delay spread is as follows:

MDRTDSpreambleCS TTTN _. (1)

Tpreamble_s indicates the sampling length of the ZC sequence. For preamble formats 0 to 3, Tpreamble_s equals to 800/839 milliseconds. For preamble format 4, Tpreamble_s equals to 133 /139 milliseconds.

MDT indicates the maximum multi-path delay spread. For Huawei LTE products, MDT equals to 5 milliseconds.

NOTE

MDT = 5 milliseconds is determined based on proposals and simulation tests.

RTDT is the maximum return delay (RTD). The relationship between RTDT and the cell radius is as follows:

RTDT = 6.67 r milliseconds

where r indicates the cell radius in the unit of km.

If formula 1 is divided by Tpreamble_s on both sides, the following formula is obtained:

(2)

Ncs can be calculated if r and TMD is known.

If AdSchT is added on the right side of formula 2 ( AdSchT = 2 milliseconds), formula 3 is obtained:

)267.6(04875.1 MDCS TrN (3)

For low-speed cells, r equals to 10 km and MDT equals to 5 milliseconds. In this case, 03.77)2510*67.6(04875.1 CSN . According to Table 1-1, CSN configuration equals

to 11. Therefore, Ncs equals to 93.

The number of preambles that can be generated is calculated as follows:

CSNNum

If 64 preambles need to be generated per cell, the number of ZC sequences is calculated as follows:

NOTE

In high-speed cells, UEs move at a speed greater than 120 km/h. In most cases, coverage cells along expressway roads and high-speed railways are high-speed cells. In other scenarios, medium- and low-speed cells prevail.

In actual applications, an eNodeB delivers PRACH parameters, such as NcsConfig, HighSpeedFlag, and rootSequenceIndex, to UEs.

1.2 ZC Sequence Planning PrinciplesZC sequences must be allocated according to the following principles:

1. ZC sequence indexes must be allocated for high-speed cells in priority.

2. ZC sequence indexes can be reused when ZC sequence indexes are used up in an area to be planned. If the distance between two cells is greater than the associated threshold, both cells can use the same ZC sequence index. For details, see LTE eRAN3.1 FDD&TDD Root Sequence Index Automatic Planning Algorithm Specification.

Table 1-1 illustrates the mapping between logical root sequence numbers and physical root sequence numbers.

1.3 Root Sequence Planning for High-Speed Cells

Root sequences for high-speed cells are planned as follows:

Step 1 Calculate the Ncs value range based on the cell radius r and the maximum delay spread.

Step 2 Select Ncs that is closest to the calculated minimum Ncs value according to Table 1-1. For example, if Ncs is greater than 217, Ncs equals to 237.

Step 3 Check whether the remaining ZC sequence indexes can generate 64 preambles. If the remaining ZC sequence indexes are sufficient, go to Step 4. If the indexes are insufficient, go to Step 5.

Step 4 Allocate the minimum logical root sequence number and the minimum Ncs to the cell.

Step 5 Reuse ZC sequence indexes and Ncs. For details, see LTE eRAN3.1 FDD&TDD Root Sequence Index Automatic Planning Algorithm Specification.

Calculation of Root Sequences for High-Speed Cells

The variable is the cyclic shift corresponding to a Doppler shift of magnitude and is given by

For , the parameters are given by

For all other values of , there are no cyclic shifts in the restricted set.

1.4 Root Sequence Planning for Medium- and Low-Speed Cells

For medium- and low-speed cells, each ZC sequence generates 839/Ncs preambles.

Step 1 Calculate the Ncs value range based on the cell radius r and the maximum delay spread.

Step 2 Select Ncs that is closest to the calculated minimum Ncs value according to Table 1-1. For example, for Ncs > 217, Ncs can be 279 or 419.

NOTE

If CSN > 419 for low-speed cells, set Ncs to 0.

Step 3 Check whether the remaining ZC sequence indexes can generate 64 preambles. If the remaining ZC sequence indexes are sufficient, go to Step 4. If the indexes are insufficient, go to Step 5.

NOTE

ZC sequences allocated to a low-speed cell must be consecutive. If consecutive ZC sequences are insufficient to generate 64 preambles, no ZC sequences are allocated and additional preamble sequences are obtained from the root sequences until all the 64 sequences are found.

Step 4 Allocate the minimum logical root sequence number and the minimum Ncs to the cell.

Step 5 Reuse ZC sequence indexes and Ncs. For details, see LTE eRAN3.1 FDD&TDD Root Sequence Index Automatic Planning Algorithm Specification.

1.5 PRACH Planning Using the U-NetThis section describes how to plan PRACH parameters using the U-Net.

1.5.1 Creating a ProjectOn the U-Net, a project is created in the following steps:

Step 1 On the U-Net, click at the upper left corner.

The Project Templates dialog box is displayed, as shown in Figure 1-1.

Step 2 In the displayed dialog box, select LTE-TDD, and click OK to start automatic PRACH planning, as shown in Figure 1-1.

Figure 1-1 Setting PRACH parameters

The parameters in the LTE PRACH Planning dialog box are described as follows:

Calculate Cell Radius: Specifies how to determine the cell radius. If this check box is selected, Propagation Radius and Coverage Radius option buttons can be selected. The cell radius determines the Ncs during PRACH planning.

Propagation Radius: Indicates that the propagation radius functions as the radius when the Ncs is calculated.

Propagation Radius Factor: When the Propagation Radius option button is selected, the cell radius used to calculate the Ncs is equal to this factor multiplied by the main calculation radius.

Coverage Radius: Indicates that the coverage cell is used as the cell radius in Ncs calculation.

Min Signal Level(dBm): The minimum RSRP threshold at the cell edge is considered when the coverage radius is used to calculate the cell radius.

Shadowing taken into account: Specifies whether shadow fading is considered during PRACH planning.

Cell Edge Coverage Probability: Specifies the expected cell edge coverage ratio when shadow fading is considered. The default value is 75%.

Indoor Coverage: Specifies whether indoor coverage is considered during PRACH planning.

Area: Enables you to select the areas to be planned. By default, all cells in a network are to be planned. It is commonly used when there are multiple polygons on the GUI of the simulation platform.

Cell Filter: Filters out the cells that do not need to be planned when the areas or the entire network to be planned are selected. After this button is clicked, a Cell Select dialog box is displayed, as shown in Figure 1-2. In this dialog box, you can deselect the corresponding item of a cell that you want to filter out during PRACH planning.

Figure 1-2 Cell Select dialog box

There are three methods to determine the cell radius:

Method 1: using the propagation model

When the Propagation Radius option box is selected, the U-Net uses the main calculation radius as the cell radius. By default, the main calculation radius is 4000 m. It can be changed in the NE parameter table, for example, to 40000 m or 98000 m, as shown in Figure 1-4.

Method 2: using the predicted coverage radius

1. The U-Net calculates the coverage radius of each sector based on the imported map and engineering parameters.

2. The U-Net calculates the Ncs.

If Min Signal Level(dBm) is specified, the U-Net calculates the coverage radius of each sector based on this parameter setting, as shown in Figure 1-1.
