  • the frequency resource usage within each NB-PRACH transmission remains consistent between repetitions.
  • the NB-PRACH preamble duration can be much longer, especially in situations when a large number of repetitions are transmitted for the purpose of coverage enhancement. Furthermore, there is also a much wider variation in NB-PRACH length. In some circumstances, e.g., with larger repetition values, the NB-PRACH preamble duration is even longer than some of the backoff parameter values currently used in 3GPP LTE. Hence, some of the smaller backoff parameter values do not make practical sense when compared with larger NB-PRACH preamble durations. As an illustrative example, a backoff parameter value of 10 ms is not useful for NB-PRACH preambles with more than 1 repetition.
  • the randomly selected backoff time does not match current NB-PRACH preamble durations.
  • a cell load is not heavy and a backoff parameter value is selected as 10 ms, but a random access preamble has a duration of 25.6 ms (without gap time (GT)), the random access preamble will cause interference.

  • a first UE (UE 1 ) and a second UE (UE 2 ) transmit NB-PRACH preambles (preamble 508 for UE 1 and preamble 509 for UE 2 ) at the same network resource, resulting in a preamble collision.
  • Both UEs randomly select backoff times of 4 ms (for UE 1 ) and 7 ms (for UE 2 ), respectively. Therefore, after a backoff of 4 ms, UE 1 retransmits its NB-PRACH preamble (preamble 513 ) (event 510 ) and after a backoff of 7 ms, UE 2 retransmits its NB-PRACH preamble (preamble 514 ) (event 515 ).
  • UE 1 is unable to complete the transmission of its NB-PRACH preamble 513 before UE 2 transmits its NB-PRACH preamble 514 and another preamble collision takes place.
  • the collision probability for long preamble durations and short preamble durations differ greatly due to the wide range of preamble lengths.
  • the backoff parameter value is set to 960 ms
  • UEs using short preamble durations e.g., 12.8 ms
  • UEs using long preamble durations e.g., 819.2 ms
  • long preamble durations may block and cause extra delay in NB PUSCH (NB-PUSCH) transmission.
  • the allocation of network resources may need to be changed to reduce the blocking issue.
  • FIG. 5B illustrates a diagram 550 of network resources highlighting different collision probabilities. Due to wide range of preamble length, given same resource unit, the collision probabilities for long preamble duration and short preamble duration differ significantly. Diagram 550 displays three kinds of random access preamble durations, where each has been allocated resources of the same size. With the legacy mechanism, for the same cell load, if the backoff window is fixed as a large one like 960 ms, for UEs with short preamble duration like 12.8 ms preamble duration, they have more opportunities to access hence they may have low collision probability; while for UEs with long preamble duration like 819.2 ms preamble duration, they have less opportunities and high collision probability.
  • NB-PRACH preamble duration becomes much longer than some of the backoff parameter value defined for LTE, especially with large number of repetitions; the NB-PRACH preamble lengths vary widely and the collision probabilities may be different for different preamble lengths in some cases.
  • the backoff parameter values are defined as multiples of random access preamble durations (random access preamble units) to align the backoff time with preamble duration.
  • random access preamble units random access preamble units
  • the defining of the backoff parameter values as multiple of random access preamble units allows the access opportunities and collision probability to remain substantially constant with different random access preamble durations.
  • Example embodiments include:
  • an eNB determines the backoff parameter values according to the load on corresponding random access channels.
  • a technical standard or an operator of the communications system may define possible backoff parameter values, such as a table of possible backoff parameter values.
  • an eNB selects the actual backoff parameter value(s) to signal to the UEs based on the load on the random access channels.
  • network resource allocation is performed semi-statically to allocate the network resources for NB-PRACH based on random access load.
  • Different numbers of network resources may be allocated for different NB-PRACH channels, with each random access channel being related to one NB-PRACH preamble format (e.g., duration, repetition, and so on).
  • long random access preambles may be split into multiple parts.
  • the backoff parameter values are specified as multiples of random access preamble units and the same backoff parameter values are used for different random access parameter durations.
  • the backoff window of a UE is defined as the product of the backoff parameter value and the random access preamble unit, where the random access preamble unit is equal to the random access preamble duration for the UE. Therefore, the random access window differs for different UEs with different random access preamble durations.
  • the use of the same backoff parameter values for different random access preamble durations is very simple with unified parameters. However, in situations with heavy loads, the latency for long random access preamble durations may be very large.

To deal with the possible unbalanced collision probability for different PRACH preamble formats, semi-statically resource allocation for PRACH may be adopted.

Each random access channel is related to one preamble format. When load is heavy, more resources may be allocated. Consequently, eNB can allocate different number of resources for different random access channels based on random access channel load, in which the resource allocation information may be carried via SIB.
