Root Sequence Index
Root Sequence Index
RootConfigurationIndex
In LTE, there are 838 root Zadoff-Chu sequences available for preambles. The len
gth of each root sequence is 839. RootConfigurationIndex, informs the UE via SIB
2 which sequence is to be used.
b)
ZeroCorrelationZoneConfig.
One root sequence can generate several preambles by cyclic shift. One or more ro
ot sequences are needed to generate all preambles in a cell. The UE starts with
the broadcasted root index and applies cyclic shifts to generate preambles. Zero
CorrelationZoneConfig points to a table where the cyclic shift is obtained from.
The smaller the cyclic shift, the more preambles can be generated from a root se
quence. Hence, the number of sequences needed to generate the 64 preambles in a
given cell is:
# of rows = ceiling (64 / (integer (sequence length/cycl
ic shift)))
For example, if the rootsequence index is 300 and the cyclic shift is 119, then,
the number of rows needed to generate the 64 preambles in a cell is:
# of rows = ceiling(64 /(integer(839/119))) = 10
This means, that if we allocated rootsequenceindex 300 to cell X, then cell Y mu
st have rootsequenceindex 310 and cell Y must have rootsequenceindex 320 as show
n in the picture below.
