PRO-RootSequence Planning PRACH

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)

 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 Process
› PN planning tool in Planet will be used to generate a PN plan and then
convert the PN plan to the rachRootSequence plan

1. Best server layer will be generated

2. Neighbor list will be created by utilizing best server layer in Planet
3. A PN plan with an increment of 7 will be generated
– Gives 24 groups, no reserves
– rachRootSequence grouping includes 28 groups (see slide 6)
4. Take the first 24 groups and replace the PN Plan created in Planet with values listed on
slide 6
– 4 spare groups left
