Low Random Access Rate Cause Analysi

Low random access rate common causes:

UE Accesses the Cell beyond the Cell Radius


Root sequence conflict
Serious interference

Page13

UE Accesses the Cell beyond the Cell


Radius Overview

Description :

UE locate within the area of cell coverage, but UE outside the


area of the cell radius accesses a cell

Impact :

Time offset phenomenon

eNodeB detect the Preamble ID sends from UE has deviation, the


refore eNodeB estimate the TA value of UE has deviation

Copyright 2016 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved.


Page14

Time Deviation

Preamble sequence are generated from cyclic shifts


of root sequence, the number of preamble sequence
generated by each root sequence is determined by
PreambleFmt, HighSpeedFlag, CellRadius

Copyright 2016 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved.


Page15

Time Deviation (Cont.)

Suppose : Preamble format is set to 0 , low-speed cell ,


cell radius it 15Km
Thus : Ncs=119 , each root sequence index can
generate 7 preamble sequence, that is 7 Preamble ID
detect range in eNodeB and invalid detect range Null
size is 839-119*7=6 . Preamble ID distribute on the
root sequence is below :

Copyright 2016 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved.


Page16

Time Deviation (Cont.)

The rules of Preamble ID and TA detection :

Invalid detect range Null size is 6, TA=ceil(6*(800/839)/


(16*Ts))=11
Suppose : The maximum TA value corresponding to
preamble search range is TNCS ,the time offset of UE is Toff
,usually , the TA of UE is TA0, the peak value position is P0
As shown in the next slide :
When UE select Preamble ID=0 , eNB detect the
correlation peak value on the P1 position which Preamble
ID=6 , and detect the TA value is TA=TA1
When UE select Preamble ID=5 , eNB detect the
correlation peak value on the P2 position which Preamble
ID=4 , and detect the TA Value is TA=TA2

Copyright 2016 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved.


Page17

Time Deviation (Cont.)

The rules of Preamble ID and TA detection :

Relationship between TA1 and TA2 :

TA1+11+ TNCS -TA0 = TA2+ TNCS -TA0 = Toff


That is : TA1+11=TA2 . Indicate that when UE select Preamble ID=
0, the TA value detected by eNB is 11 smaller than those correspo
nding to the other Preamble IDs

Copyright 2016 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved.


Page18

Time Deviation (Cont.)

When time offset exist , UE select the Preamble ID randomly f


rom the 9 Preamble ID under the same root sequence , there
by the probability that UE select Preamble ID=0 is 1/7, thus , t
he probability is 1/7 that the TA value detected by eNB is 11 s
maller than those corresponding to the other Preamble IDs:

Copyright 2016 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved.


Page19

Time Deviation (Cont.)

Preamble fix retransmission interval :

Suppose : PRAConfigIndex=3, the 4th subframe is RAR window after rand


om access preamble is sent . Currently, the ra-Response WindowSize is fi
x to 10 subframe through product implementation. Therefore, during the
ra-Response WindowSize duration , UE cannot receive the RAR message ,
UE resends the preamble in the next PRACH position, the retransmission
interval is 20ms , as shown below :

Copyright 2016 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved.


Page20

Time Deviation (Cont.)

Fix TA deviation

Base on the assumption ,each root sequence index can generate 7 prea
mble sequence. When UE random access is fail , UE resends the preambl
e periodically. Therefore, the probability that eNB detect the Preamble I
D=6,13,20,27 is 1/7 . The TA value detected by eNB is 11 smaller than tho
se corresponding to the other Preamble IDs

Copyright 2016 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved.


Page21

Time Deviation (Cont.)

Case

The retransmission interval is 20ms , therefore it is real user acces


s failure
Due to exist Null range, the Preamble ID eNB detected is 6 smalle
r than the UE select ,that is The TA value detected by eNB is 11 s
maller than those corresponding to the other Preamble IDs

UE Accesses the Cell beyond the Cell Ra


dius Troubleshooting

Perform CELL DT tracing, analyze TTI level data

Check contention RA failure is real user

If it is real user , the retransmission interval is fix , such as when P


RAConfigIndex=3 , UE resends the Preamble ID per 20ms

Page23

UE Accesses the Cell beyond the Cell Ra


dius Troubleshooting (Cont.)

Check the relationship between retransmission Preamble ID r


esent by UE and TA value in a continuous period of time

Preamble ID distribute randomly in Group A, TA value is almost th


e same in this continuous period of time, but some TA value is dif
ferent , such as 11 smaller than the normal TA value
Note is the case of UE accesses the cell beyond the cell radius. Th
e cell is low-speed cell , cell radius is set to 10Km. When UE acces
ses the cell beyond the cell radius , the TA is 3 or 4 smaller than t
he normal TA value, such as the normal TA value is 161, but some
TA value is 158 or 154. Meanwhile the Preamble ID are the last pr
eamble ID generated by each root sequence , such as preamble i
d 17/34

The common causes lead to UE no reply :

Uplink weak coverage


Uplink interference

Uplink Weak Coverage

Definition :

Normally , uplink RSRP<=-130dBm is uplink weak coverage

Background noise of system bandwidth :


-174+10*logBW + NF =-174+10*log(15*1000)+2.5=-129.7dBm
BW is bandwidth , unit is Hz
NF is the noise factor of RF module , usually is 2~2.5

For the data domain , if SINR>-3dB ,that is uplink RSRP>-132dBm then t


he data can be decoded correctly. Usually , consider the uplink interfer
ence of adjacent cell user is 3dB. As conclusion, uplink RSRP<=-130dB
m is uplink weak coverage

Uplink Interference

Definition :

IN = RSRP SINR

If IN is near to background noise, that is no interference.


If IN is greater than background noise 5dB, that is uplink interference
Background noise of system bandwidth:
-174+10*logBW + NF =-174+10*log(15*1000)+2.5=-129.7dBm
BW is bandwidth , unit is Hz
NF is the noise factor of RF module , usually is 2~2.5
