METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR TIME-DOMAIN PRACH RESOURCE DETERMINATION IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17598061 Titled 'METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR TIME-DOMAIN PRACH RESOURCE DETERMINATION IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes methods and devices that improve the transmission of a Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) for communications beyond 52.6 GHz. This involves receiving PRACH configuration information that includes details about the format of the PRACH preamble, which is used to enhance cell coverage. The information may include a new PRACH preamble format based on a short sequence PRACH preamble format. The PRACH preamble is then transmitted to a base station using the specified format. The short sequence PRACH preamble format is repeated over two consecutive time-domain RACH occasions (ROs).


Original Abstract Submitted

Disclosed are methods and apparatus to enhance RACH transmission for beyond 52.6 GHz communications. A Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) configuration information including an indication of a PRACH preamble format for a predefined subcarrier spacing (SCS) to enhance cell coverage may be received. The PRACH configuration information may include a new PRACH preamble format in a time-domain based on a short sequence PRACH preamble format. Additionally, the PRACH preamble may be transmitted using the PRACH preamble format over a PRACH to a base station (BS). The short sequence PRACH preamble format may be repeated over two consecutive time-domain RACH occasions (ROs).
