- FIG. 6 illustrates different messages exchanged between a UE and eNB during initial access.
- a UE wishes to access the network and determines a message to be transmitted, the message may be linked to a purpose and a cause value may be determined.
- the size of the ideal message number 3 illustrated in FIG. 6 may also be determined by identifying all optional information and different alternative sizes, such as by removing optional information, or an alternative "scheduling request" message may be used.
- the UE acquires necessary information for the transmission of the preamble, UL interference, Pilot Transmit power and required Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) for the preamble detection at the receiver or combinations thereof. This information must allow the calculation of the initial transmit power of the preamble. It is beneficial to transmit the uplink message in the vicinity of the preamble from a frequency point of view in order to ensure that the same channel is used for the transmission of the message.
- SNR Signal-to-Noise Ratio
- the UE should take into account the uplink interference and the uplink path loss in order to ensure that the network receives the preamble with a minimum SNR.
- the uplink interference can be determined only in the ENodeB and, therefore, must be broadcast by the ENodeB and received by the UE prior to the transmission of the preamble.
- the uplink path loss can be considered to be similar to the downlink path loss and can be estimated by the UE from the received Rx (receiver) signal strength when the transmit power of some pilot sequence of the cell is known to the UE.
- the required uplink SNR for the detection of the preamble would typically depend on the NodeB configuration, such as a number of Rx antennas and receiver performance. There may be advantages to transmitting the rather static Transmit power of the pilot and the necessary uplink SNR separately form the varying uplink interference and possibly the power offset required between the preamble and the message.
- the initial transmission power of the preamble can be roughly calculated according to the following formula:
- Transmit power TransmitPilot - RxPilot + ULInterference + Offset +
- Offset can be broadcast. In principle, only one value must be broadcast. This is essentially the method in current UMTS systems, although the UL interference in LTE will mainly be neighboring cell interference that is probably more constant than in UMTS.
- the UE determines the initial uplink transmit power for the transmission of the preamble as explained above.
- the receiver in the eNB is able to estimate the absolute received power as well as the relative received power compared to the interference in the cell.
- the eNB will consider a preamble detected if the received signal power compared to the interference is above an eNB known threshold.
- the UE performs power ramping in order to ensure that a UE can be detected even if the initially estimated transmission power for the preamble is not adequate. Another preamble will most likely be transmitted if no acknowledgement or a negative acknowledgement is received by the UE before the next random access attempt.
- the transmit power of the preamble can be increased, and / or the preamble can be transmitted on a different uplink frequency in order to increase the probability of detection,. Therefore, the actual transmit power of the preamble that will be detected does not necessarily correspond to the initial transmit power of the preamble as initially calculated by the UE.
- the UE must determine the possible uplink transport format
- the transport format which may include Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) and a number of resource blocks that should be used by the UE, depends mainly on two parameters, specifically the SNR at the eNB and the required size of the message to be transmitted.
- MCS Modulation and Coding Scheme
- a maximum UE message size, or payload, and a required minimum SNR correspond to each transport format.
- the UE determines before the transmission of the preamble whether a transport format can be chosen for the transmission according to the estimated initial preamble transmit power, the required offset between preamble and the transport block, the maximum allowed or available UE transmit power, a fixed offset and additional margin.
- the preamble in UMTS need not contain any information regarding the transport format selected by the UE since the network does not need to reserve time and frequency resources and, therefore, the transport format is indicated together with the transmitted message.
- the eNB must be aware of the size of the message that the UE intends to transmit and the SNR achievable by the UE in order to select the correct transport format upon reception of the preamble and then reserve the necessary time and frequency resources. Therefore, the eNB cannot estimate the SNR achievable by the UE according to the received preamble because the UE transmit power compared to the maximum allowed or possible UE transmit power is not known to the eNB, given that the UE will most likely consider the measured path loss in the downlink or some equivalent measure for the determination of the initial preamble transmission power.
- the eNB could calculate a difference between the path loss estimated in the downlink compared and the path loss of the uplink. However, this calculation is not possible if power ramping is used and the UE transmit power for the preamble does not correspond to the initially calculated UE transmit power. Furthermore, the precision of the actual UE transmit power and the transmit power at which the UE is intended to transmit is very low. Therefore, it has been proposed to code the path loss or CQI estimation of the downlink and the message size or the cause value in the uplink in the signature.
- a method of establishing a communication link between a mobile terminal and a network includes identifying at least two groupings of signatures for accessing the network, each of the at least two groupings representing at least one combination of at least one transport format and at least one radio condition, selecting a signature from one of the at least two groupings, the selection according to one of the represented combinations and requesting access to the network using the selected signature.

- the present invention is directed to a RACH initial access procedure in a UE.
- the present invention proposes a method to allow an accurate choice of the UL transport format.
- the new method allows the UE to determine by itself whether a certain transport format may be used for the transmission of message 3 in FIG. 6 prior to the first preamble transmission and prior to the power ramping.
- the UE determines the transmit power for message 3 in FIG. 6 based on the transmit power of the preamble that has been detected by the eNB. It is clear that a minimum SNR is necessary for the successful transmission of an UL message, such as message 3 in FIG. 6. At the same time, it is necessary that the preamble, such as message 1 in FIG. 6, be received with a certain SNR in order to be considered as successfully received by the NodeB.
- the eNB knows the SNR required for successful detection of the preamble since the
- the eNB can indicate an offset for transmission of message 3 compared to the transmission power of the preamble, the offset indicated even before the preamble is detected.
- the present invention takes into account more aspects of the potential procedure for the NSRA and considers how the information included in messages may be reduced through linking the physical procedure and the MAC behavior while still conveying the necessary information.
- a fixed or broadcast margin may be used as the offset relative to the estimated initial preamble transmission power. This is possible because the UE knows the currently used transmit power for the preamble, the maximum available or allowed transmit power. Alternatively, the UE may re-evaluate which transport format may be transmitted prior to each transmission of a preamble, assuming that the eNB detects the preamble.
- the present invention is essentially the UE that determines which of the available transport formats are available for transmission before each transmission of the preamble. This reduces sensitivity to an erroneous estimation of the necessary transmit power necessary for detection of the preamble.
- a UE would then only determine a transport format that it is able to transmit. The determination is made according to the transmit power of the preamble that the UE will use, the difference between preamble transmit power and the required power for transmission of message 3 as indicated by the eNB, and the maximum available or allowed UE Transmit power.
- the eNB need not check whether the UE transmit power is sufficient when a UE indicates a signature corresponding to a certain transport format for transmission. This is because the detection of the UE already implies that the UE transmit power and the uplink channel quality is sufficient to transmit the required transport format.
- the only information that the signature must indicate is the transport format that the UE requests to use and further information, such as CQI or path loss, need not be coded in the preamble in order to determine the possible transport formats for transmission of message 3.
- the eNB may indicate an additional offset in message 2 for the transmission of message 3 compared to the transmission power of the preamble if the transmit power chosen by the UE results in a higher SNR in the eNB than is needed for detection. It is beneficial to transmit the uplink message in vicinity of the preamble from a frequency point of view in order to ensure that the same channel is used for the transmission of the message.
- FIG. 7 illustrates a random access procedure according to the present invention. As illustrated in FIG. 7, the necessary information for the calculation of the preamble is gathered in steps SlO to S50 in order to ensure detection of the initial preamble and prepare a message, if any, for transmission.
- the information that is needed in the UE includes any combination of uplink interference, pilot transmit power, required SNR and possibly additional offsets in order to calculate the necessary preamble transmit power based on the measured received pilot receive power as well as allowed transport formats for transmission of a RACH message in the uplink, offsets related to the power with which the preamble has been transmitted for each transport format, and information related to power ramping for successive preamble transmissions.
- Transport formats should include at least the available payload size, but other information, such as coding type and necessary time / frequency resources, may be included.
- One additional margin, or a specific margin per transport format, is necessary if the estimation of the allowed transport formats for the uplink is done only once prior to the transmission of the initial preamble. This allows the UE to determine whether a transport format may be transmitted including a margin for eventual power ramping based on the estimated initial preamble transmission power. Signature / time / frequency resources associated with each transport format should also be made available, specifically if no message needs to be transmitted.
- the needed information may either be broadcast on the system information in a cell or fixed in a standard.
- the order in which steps SlO to S50 are performed is interchangeable.
- the UE determines in step S60 which transport formats may be used based on the transmission power that will be used for the transmission of the preamble. This determination may be performed once before the transmission of the first preamble, with a set of possible transport formats identified by the UE according to the transport formats for which the following equation is fulfilled: [95]
- the determination may be performed before each transmission of the preamble.
- the available set of possible transport formats may change during the procedure if the transmit power is increased or if parameters, such as the uplink interference value, change.
- the UE then chooses from the possible transport formats the transport format that allows the largest version of the message that should be transmitted.
- the transport format that requires the least transmit power, adds the least padding, or uses the least time / frequency resources may be chosen if several transport formats are possible.
- the suitable transport formats may be determined first and then which of the suitable transport formats may be used is determined based on the initial power estimation.
- step S70 the RACH procedure is ended unsuccessfully if no transport format can be chosen that allows transmission of at least the smallest version of the message based on the determined preamble transmit power.
- step S 80 the UE then selects a signature and a time / frequency resource for transmission from a set corresponding to the selected transport format if a suitable transport format has been identified.
- Different transport formats might be coded on the same group of signatures, for example, if the time / frequency resources required are the same.
- a specific set of signatures and time / frequency resources could be reserved for when no message part is supposed to be transmitted and a UE that has no message to be transmitted can choose a signature from this set.
- step S 80 It is determined in step S 80 whether the UE receives an ACK.
- the ACK may include a timing advance value and an uplink resource assignment.
- the UE transmits the message using the determined transport format, as illustrated in step SlOO, if an ACK is received.
- An additional offset such as Off overshoot , may be included in the ACK if the eNB detects that the transmission power of the preamble exceeds the threshold.
- the message is sent with a power determined according to the following equation:
- the UE determines whether to stop the procedure unsuccessfully or continue with the preamble transmission at another occasion, as illustrated in step S90, if a negative acknowledgement or no acknowledgement is received from the eNB. If it is determined to continue with the preamble transmission at another occasion, the UE will increase its preamble transmission power if applicable and / or change the frequency resources used for the transmission of the next preamble, as illustrated in step Sl 10. Depending upon whether the UE determines the uplink transport format at each transmission of the preamble or whether uplink transport format is determined only once for the transmission of the first preamble, the process then returns to either step S60 or SO.
- the UE may determine a transport format for use based on the message size and transport format information and associated offsets and, possibly, a margin compared to the transmission power of the initial or the next preamble, with transport format information and offset information either broadcast on system information or fixed in a standard.
- the UE may choose the signature and time / frequency resources for the preamble transmission based on a chosen transport format, where each transport format corresponds to a set of signatures and time / frequency resources that are either fixed in a standard or broadcast by the eNB and from which the UE chooses randomly or based on other criteria.
- Different transport formats may use the same set of signatures if, for example, different transport formats require the same time / frequency resources.
- FIG. 8 illustrates a block diagram of a mobile station (MS) or access terminal 2.
- the AT 2 includes a processor (or digital signal processor) 110, RF module 136, power management module 106, antenna 150, battery 166, display 116, keypad 120, memory 130, SIM card 126 (which may be optional), speaker 156 and microphone 160.
- processor or digital signal processor
- a user enters instructional information, such as a telephone number, for example, by pushing the buttons of a keypad 120 or by voice activation using the microphone 160.
- the microprocessor 110 receives and processes the instructional information to perform the appropriate function, such as to dial the telephone number. Operational data may be retrieved from the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card 126 or the memory module 130 to perform the function.
- SIM Subscriber Identity Module
- the processor 110 may display the instructional and operational information on the display 116 for the user's reference and convenience.
- the processor 110 issues instructional information to the RF module 136, to initiate communication, for example, transmits radio signals comprising voice communication data.
- the RF module 136 comprises a receiver and a transmitter to receive and transmit radio signals.
- An antenna 150 facilitates the transmission and reception of radio signals.
- the RF module 136 may forward and convert the signals to baseband frequency for processing by the processor 110.
- the processed signals would be transformed into audible or readable information outputted via the speaker 156, for example.
- the processor 110 also includes the protocols and functions necessary to perform the various processes described herein.
