- 2 - IEEE m-08/375r1 Ranging and Network-entry Related UL CTRL Channels Random Access Channel (RACH): combines ranging and network-entry together Contention-based Carries MAC information including MS MAC Address, etc. Specific pilot pattern is defined to estimate channel as well as round-trip-delay Long CP required to accommodate both maximum channel delay & round-trip-delay MS transmits allocated subcarriers to RACH with long CP during two OFDM symbol periods. Periodic Ranging Channel (PRCH) Contention-free Does not carry MAC information but just carry pilots to estimate round-trip-delay Allocated Subcarrier Structure for RACH/PRCH Transmission
- 3 - IEEE m-08/375r1 Ranging with Pilots in the RACH and PRCH Round-trip-delay estimation with two adjacent pilots P k and P k+1 Resource Allocation RACH Consists of N 18-by-6 resource units and carries MAC information including MS MAC Address. N 14 3 data subcarriers and N 4 3 pilot subcarriers per RACH PRCH PRCH consists of K two adjacent pilots (3 18)/(2 K) PRCHs per 18-by-6
- 4 - IEEE m-08/375r1 Text Proposal 11.xUL Control Structure 11.x.xRACH This is contention-based uplink channel containing MS MAC Address, etc. In order to estimate channel as well as round trip delay, special pilot pattern should be defined in the RACH. 11.x.xPRCH This is contention-free uplink channel consisting of pilots to support for MSs to measure and track the time-varying round trip delay caused by the movements of MSs.
