acknowledged PRACH preamble and the control part of the PRACH message. This power offset can be configured to have any integer value between _5 and 10dB. In this example, both transport formats have a power offset of 2 dB. Table 3.24 presents a set of example transmit powers for the gain power although the transmit power allocated to the control branch remains constant. RACH This means that the PDU size effectively increases from 336 to 344 bits. The size of the Frame Protocol header is 7 bytes whereas the tail is 2 bytes. The Frame Protocol packet is passed to the AAL2 SSSAR layer for segmentation into blocks no larger than 360 bits. This layer passes the segments to the AAL2 CPS layer without adding any overhead. The AAL2 CPS layer adds 24 bits of header to each segment. These segments are then fed into ATM cells which include a 40 bit ATM header and an 8 bit AAL2 start field. After accounting for the AAL2 start field, the effective ATM cell payload is 376 bits. In general, the quantity of AAL2 CPS data is not a multiple of 376 bits and some ATM cell capacity remains for other AAL2 connections. The overhead
