2 Design Considerations for Synchronized Ranging Channel Design considerations: –RCP length: Same CP size as data channel’s CP –Time accuracy criterion EX: < ± (T b /32)/4 (about us) for IEEE system –Large cell coverage –Low overhead and high spectral efficiency Synchronized ranging channel can be applied for –Macrocell: Periodic ranging –Femtocell: Initial ranging (IR), handover ranging (HOR) –Purposes of initial ranging »UL synchronization: Time/power/frequency adjustment »Contention-based access request for network entry –Due to limited coverage, UL synchronization can be skipped after DL synchronization is done Periodic ranging (PR)

3 Proposed Structure for Synchronized Ranging Structure (1/3) Basic structure: 1-subband x 1 OFDMA symbol –Time-domain repetition can be applied for larger coverage 2 or 3 There are three PR opportunities in one subframe if 2 repetitions are applied There are two PR opportunities in one subframe if 3 repetitions are applied for larger coverage

4 Proposed Structure for Synchronized Ranging Structure (2/3) In macrocell, three ranging opportunities are allocated in a subframe if repetition number is 2 Allocation of “1-subband x 1-subframe” every M superframes in a 10 MHz BW –No entry delay constraint in PR For a smaller macrocell, time-domain repetition won’t be necessary and the rest of subcarriers can be formed as data resource blocks, just like that in a femtocell

5 Proposed Structure for Synchronized Ranging Structure (3/3) In femtocell, synchronized ranging channel is TDM with data channel –The ranging channel occupies 72 subcarriers x 1 OFDM symbol –The rest of subcarriers can be formed as five-symbol CRUs The allocation of synchronous IR channel appears every N superframes –N must meet the idle-> active delay requirement (i.e., 100ms) Advantages: –Enough time accuracy –No extra entry delay –Higher spectral efficiency Disadvantage: –There exists two kinds of data PRUs in one subframe

6 Proposed Code Sequence ~ Circularly-Shifted Padded ZC (PZC) Code Code sequence –Number of ZC =71 –m denotes circular shift value for each cell 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, sequences with u=1,…,70 are allocated per cell –70*7=490 sequences –PAPR=6.1089

7 Simulations Results ~ configuration Single user to six users performance is evaluated Only the best quality user is estimated based on non-coherent detection Padded ZC code provides enhanced performance when the number of user increases –Padded Zadoff-Chu code rejects interference from other users Channel Bandwidth10MHz Over-sampling Factor28/25 FFT Size1024 Cyclic prefix (CP) ratio1/8 Channel ConditionPB3, VA30 VA120, VA350 The Number of Antennas Tx:1, Rx:2 ModulationMPSK Number of Users1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ReceiverDetection: non- coherent MLD Estimation: differential detection

10 Simulations Results ~ Three-user case 10

11 Simulations Results ~ Four-user case 11

12 Simulations Results ~ Five-user case 12

13 Simulations Results ~ Six-user case 13

14 Mis-Detection Issues for Overlaying Macrocell/Femtocell Deployment Since the ranging code/structure is reused in both macrocell and femtocell, there might be a signal mis- detection problem Solution: –The allocations of ranging opportunities are separated in time domain

15 Conclusion The proposed synchronous ranging structure can fulfill the requirement of timing accuracy –Better spectral efficiency The synchronous ranging structure can also be applied in femtocells as IR, HOR and PR Compared with ZC code, Padded ZC code can provide better timing estimation performance
