  • Users in an LTE system are sometimes referred to as UEs, "User Equipment”.
  • transmissions from the UEs in a cell need to be time aligned when they arrive at the eNodeB, i.e. the transmissions from the UEs in the cell of the eNodeB need to arrive more or less simultaneously at the eNodeB.

For example, a UE which is at the cell edge needs to start its transmissions prior to a UE which is closer to the eNodeB.

  • the eNodeB acknowledges reception of the preamble by transmitting a response message, which includes a timing advance value update to be used in future transmissions from the UE.

With an inaccurate channel estimate, the likelihood of correctly decoding the second message from the different UEs will decrease significantly, which in turn can lead to a situation in which all of the UEs involved need to restart the random access procedure with a new preamble.
  • the solution should reduce the risk of more than one UE continuing the contention based procedure after the eNodeB has transmitted the response message to the request for communication from the UEs.

  • MSG 3 A scheduled transmission from the UE, based on the instructions in message 2.
  • MSG 4 A contention resolution message from the eNodeB, which is transmitted in order to identify the "winning" UE. This message is always transmitted, since the eNodeB is unable to determine if more than one UE has transmitted the random access message (MSG 1) at the same time with one and the same preamble.
  • MSG 1 random access message
  • MSG 3 A problem of the RA procedure is the following: more than one UE in a cell can transmit MSG 1 at the same time, and with the same preamble. In such a case, all of those UEs will perceive MSG 2 as being addressed to them, and will thus transmit MSG 3 to the eNodeB.
  • the eNodeB will receive a plurality of MSG 3 transmissions, all of which will use the same so called UL demodulation reference signal, since the information about that signal was comprised in MSG2.
  • the eNodeB uses MSG 3 for UL channel estimates, and the fact that it may receive a plurality of MSG 3 transmissions with the same UL demodulation reference signal can lead to a poor UL channel estimate. Poor UL channel estimates may, in turn, lead to a need for all of the contending UEs to restart the RA procedure, with other preambles.
  • the invention is intended to address the problem of multiple contending UEs which reply to MSG 2 by transmitting MSG 3.
  • One thought behind the invention is that a contending UE will compare the timing advance instruction comprised in MSG 2 with the timing advance which the UE had prior to the reception of MSG 2. If the difference is too large, it can be concluded that the MSG 2 was intended for another UE in the cell, since the timing advance instruction, also referred to as the timing alignment command, which is comprised in MSG 2 is based on measurements in the eNodeB on MSG 1 , so that an overly large discrepancy between the two time advance values increases the likelihood that the value in the MSG 2 is intended for another UE.
  • Fig 4 shows a flow chart 400 of these basic steps of the invention: as shown in step 410, the UE will receive a response MSG, i.e. MSG 2, from the eNodeB, in response to an RA initiation message, i.e. MSG 1 of fig 3.

  • the difference, " ⁇ " is compared to a first threshold, "T1" and a second threshold T2; if the difference " ⁇ " is below the first threshold and greater than the second threshold, the UE proceeds with the RA procedure, i.e. it transmits MSG 3, step 440. Conversely, if the difference equals or exceeds the first threshold T1, or falls below the second threshold T2, the UE "restarts" the RA procedure by randomly selecting and transmitting a new RA preamble, step 450.
  • the thresholds, "TT and "T2" of the flow chart 400 can be defined by the system standard or communicated from the eNodeB to the UE. In the latter case, the thresholds could either be set by the system operator or be defined as an eNodeB internal parameter by the eNodeB vendor. Alternatively, they can be set adaptively, to fit the current system environment, i.e. the average number of UEs in the cells etc.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé (500) destiné à un terminal utilisateur (12, 130) présent dans un système cellulaire (100). Le terminal utilisateur (120, 130) applique (505) une avance de synchronisation aux transmissions destinées à un noeud de commande (140). Le terminal utilisateur (120, 130) demande (510) à communiquer avec le noeud de commande (140) au moyen d'un message spécial (MSG1) en réponse auquel le terminal utilisateur (120, 130) reçoit (515) un message (MSG2) qui comprend une valeur actualisée pour l'avance de synchronisation. Le terminal utilisateur (120, 130) compare (520) la valeur actualisée à la valeur de l'avance de synchronisation que le terminal utilisateur avait avant la réception dudit message de réponse. Si la différence (Δ) entre la valeur antérieure et la valeur actualisée est supérieure à un premier seuil prédéterminé (T1) ou inférieure à un second seuil prédéterminé (T2), le terminal utilisateur (120, 130) ignore (525) le message de réponse (MG 2) et renouvelle sa demande de communication.
