    The key takeaways are that LTE networks group cells and assign Physical Cell Identifiers (PCIs) to enable user equipment to differentiate between different cells. PCIs are planned by allocating cell groups, identifiers within groups, and considering factors like neighboring cell interference. The cyclic shift step for PRACH root sequences must be chosen based on cell radius, transmission delay margins, and root sequence reuse across multiple cells.

    In LTE systems, cells are grouped for identification during the cell search procedure. A cell group is identified by the secondary synchronization sequence on the SSCH, while a specific ID within the group is determined by the primary synchronization sequence on the PSCH. There are 168 physical layer cell groups with three IDs each, for a total of 504 possible PCIs.

    PCIs are planned by allocating cell group codes and identifier ranges to different types of cells, like indoor and outdoor. Buffers are also reserved to allow for future expansion. Placement aims to reduce interference between neighboring cells. Tools are used to generate optimal PCI plans while avoiding issues like PCI modulo 3 and 30 conflicts between proximate cells.

    PCI Planning

    4G LTE - RF Configuration Parameters| Page 2

    Purpose of PCI Planning


    Cell ID groups are adopted in the cell search procedure of the LTE system.

    Specifically, a specific ID within a cell group is determined through the PSCH,


    and then a cell group ID determined through the SSCH.
    As specified in 3GPP protocol, the cell ID at the physical layer consists of cell

    group ID and the ID within the cell group.


    There are 168 physical layer cell groups and each group consists of three IDs.

    Therefore, totally there are 504 ( 0 to 503 ) PCIs.

    PCI Overview

    In LTE systems, each cell has a physical cell identifier (PCI), enabling UE to

    differentiate radio signals of different cells.

    In LTE systems, cells are grouped. They are searched based on the primary and
    secondary synchronization sequences.

    The secondary synchronization sequence on the secondary synchronization channel


    (SSCH) determines the cell group ID

    The primary synchronization sequence on the primary synchronization channel (PSCH)

    determines the cell ID in a cell group.

    PCI Mod 3 RS shift among neighbor cells

    Frequency domain location of the RS is determined by value of PCI mod 3

    the new site on the map. Try the best
    to avoid same result cover same area.

    PRACH
    Planning

    4G LTE - RF Configuration Parameters| Page 12

    PRACH

    Random Access Channel (RACH)


    RACH procedure begins with a preamble (PRACH)
    PRACH resources assigned by eNB within PUSCH region
    PRACH preamble fits into 6 PRBs
    Sufficient for timing estimation
    Invariant with bandwidth for low complexity
    Zadoff Chu sequence
    Excellent correlation properties
    Zero correlation zone for different cyclic shifts
    Flat frequency spectrum
    Different sequences provided first by different cyclic shifts, then by different
    root sequences
    Multiple PRACH formats suitable for different cell sizes
    4G LTE - RF Configuration Parameters| Page 13

    PRACH Planning Principle

    There are 64 PRACH preambles in each LTE cell for Radom Access
    Preambles are generated from root sequence (Zadoff-Chu sequence) and its cyclic
    shift
    838 root sequences are defined by 3GPP with length 839
    For example: for Cyclic Shift step 76, so-call Ncs = 76
    Each root sequence can generate Rounddown(839/76) = 11 sequences
    To Generate 64 sequences, number of root sequences needed = Roundup(64/11) = 6
    So available root sequences = Rounddown (838/6) = 139 (Index 0, 6, 12, 18, )

    Root sequence needs to be reuse in the network


    Unlike UMTS, there isnt Cell ID related scramble code used for PRACH in LTE system,
    collision may occur if same root sequence is planned for PRACH among nearby cells.
    Thus, we need to plan PRACH root sequence.

    4G LTE - RF Configuration Parameters| Page 14

    How to decide the cyclic shift step (Ncs)

    Ncs * Ts > TRTD + TMDS + Tdev


    Ncs is mainly decided by Cell radius.
    TRTD = 2*R/C = 2*R / (3*108 ) seconds = 6.67 * R (us)
    TRTD is round trip delay, decided by cell radius R
    C is light speed = 3*108 m/s
    TMDS is Maximum time delay spread, 5us for Dense Urban and Urban
    Tdev is UE timing deviation due to un-ideal synchronization to the downlink
    Typically, assume TMDS = 5us, UE timing deviation = 2us
    Ts is PRACH sampling period, and Ts = 800/839 [us]
    If planned cell radius = 9.8Km, then Ncs = 76

    4G LTE - RF Configuration Parameters| Page 15

    PRACH Ncs Selection

    Three dimensions needs to consider:


    Cell radius
    Margin (over dimensioning for unexpected transmission delay spread)
    Root sequence reuse in multi-cell environment
    Ncs=76 for M project LTE PRACH Planning in KV area
    For NLOS case, the transmission delay may be larger than LOS case, i.e., transmit distance
    larger than cell radius, margin is needed to keep robust
    Root sequence is enough for multi-cell reuse: 6 root sequences are needed for each cell, then
    838/6 = 139 unique sequences can be assigned for 139 cells
    Same setting is just to simplify the network design. Ncs can also be set to different value
    according to coverage scenario.

    4G LTE - RF Configuration Parameters| Page 16

    PRACH Planning

    Step 1: Determine Ncs value by the cell radius. (E.g. Assume the cell radius is

    9.8 km, take Ncs value 76)

    Step 2: The value of 839/76 is rounded down to 11, that is, each index should
    generate 11 preamble sequences. In this case, 6 (64/11) root sequence indexes

    are required to generate 64 preamble sequences.

    Step 3: The number of available root sequence indexes is 139 (0, 6, 12,,6*n,,
    828)

    Step 4: The available root sequence indexes are assigned to cells. The reuse
    distance shall be as far as possible

    Huawei will use GENEX U-Net for PRACH planning

    Preambles are generated from root sequence (Zadoff-Chu sequence) and its cyclic shift step (Ncs)

    Cell Radius (r) 10 km for low speed cells


    TMD indicates the maximum multi-path delay spread. For HLTE products, TMD equals to 5 milliseconds
    UE timing deviation is 2 milliseconds
    Ncs > 1.04875(6.67*10 +5+2) = 77. 03
    According to the table Ncs for preamble format 0 to 3
    The Ncs value is 93 , the Ncs configuration number 11
