LTE Preamble
UE ➔ MN-eNB
TS 36.213, TS 36.321, TS 36.211
The UE picks a random preamble. The preamble is referenced with the Random Access Preamble Id (RAPID). The
preamble transmission is a Zadoff-Chu sequence.
Each preamble transmission is associated with an RA-RNTI. 🡩top

5 / 56
p
LTE RA-RNTI
The RA-RNTI associated with the PRACH in which the Random Access Preamble is transmitted, is computed as:
RA-RNTI= 1 + t_id + 10 × f_id
Where:
Identifier Description
t_id The index of the first subframe of the specified PRACH (0≤ t_id <10)
The index of the specified PRACH within that subframe, in ascending order of frequency domain
f_id
(0≤ f_id< 6)
PDCCH DCI Format 1A

MN-eNB ➔ UE
TS 36.212
DCI Format 1_0 is used to assign downlink resources.
Format 1A - CRC Scrambled with RA-RNTI
In response to a PRACH transmission, a UE attempts to detect a DCI Format 1A with PDCCH CRC scrambled by
the RA-RNTI corresponding to the RACH transmission. The UE looks for message during a configured window of
length ra-ResponseWindow.
The RA-RNTI scrambled DCI message signals the frequency and time resources assigned for the transmission of
the Transport Block containing the Random Access Response message.
The following information is transmitted by means of the RA-RNTI scrambled DCI Format 1A:
Field Bits
Carrier Indicator 0 or 3
Format Discriminator 1 (should be 1 for Format 1A)
Localized/Distributed VRB assignment flag 1 (should be set to 0 for random access)
⌈log2(NRBDL(NRBDL + 1)/2)⌉
Resource block assignment
NRBDL is the system bandwidth expressed in RBs

NRBDL is the system bandwidth expressed in RBs
LTE Random Access Response

MN-eNB ➔ UE
TS 36.213, TS 36.321
1. The UE listens on the PDCCH addressed by the RA-RNTI.

2. Once the PDCCH with the RA-RNTI is decoded, the UE uses the RB resources in the message to receive the
downlink transport block.
3. The downlink transport block contains the MAC PDU.
The UE MAC PDU consists of one or more MAC subPDUs.

Since multiple UEs may send a Preamble in the same RACH opportunity, they will all be addressed by the
same RA-RNTI.
Thus, multiple Random Access Responses (RAR) may be carried in a single MAC PDU (They correspond to
different UEs that initiated the random access procedure in the same RACH opportunity).
Each RAR in the MAC PDU is addressed to a different UE via RAPID value.

NR PSS
SN-gNB ➔ UE
The Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS) is used for radio frame level synchronization. The PSS is a Linear
Feedback Shift Register sequence that is designed to provide a long non-repeating sequence.
The PSS is mapped to 127 sub-carriers around the lower end of the system bandwidth.
The PSS helps the UE locate the first symbol of a downlink radio frame.
NR SSS
The Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS) is used to subframe synchronization.
The SSS helps the UE locate the first symbol in a downlink subframe.
The PSS and the SSS are used to obtain the Physical Layer Cell Id (PCI).

NR Preamble
UE ➔ gNB
TS 38.213, TS 38.321, TS 38.211
The UE picks a random preamble. The preamble is referenced with the Random Access Preamble Id (RAPID). The
preamble transmission is a Zadoff-Chu sequence.
Each preamble transmission is associated with an RA-RNTI.
NR RA-RNTI
The RA-RNTI associated with the PRACH in which the Random Access Preamble is transmitted, is computed as:
RA-RNTI= 1 + s_id + 14 × t_id + 14 × 80 × f_id + 14 × 80 × 8 × ul_carrier_id
Where:
Identifier Description
s_id Index of the first OFDM symbol of the specified PRACH (0 ≤ s_id < 14)
t_id Index of the first slot of the specified PRACH in a system frame (0 ≤ t_id < 80)
f_id Index of the specified PRACH in the frequency domain (0 ≤ f_id < 8)
ul_carrier_id Uplink carrier used for Msg1 transmission (0 for NUL carrier, and 1 for SUL carrier)

DCI Format 1_0 is used to assign downlink resources.
Format 1_0 - CRC Scrambled with RA-RNTI 🡩top

48 / 56
p
In response to a PRACH transmission, a UE attempts to detect a DCI Format 1_0 with PDCCH CRC scrambled by
the RA-RNTI corresponding to the RACH transmission. The UE looks for message during a configured window of
length ra-ResponseWindow.
The RA-RNTI scrambled DCI message signals the frequency and time resources assigned for the transmission of
the Transport Block containing the Random Access Response message.
The following information is transmitted by means of the RA-RNTI scrambled DCI Format 1_0:

NR Random Access Response

gNB ➔ UE
TS 38.213, TS 38.321
1. The UE listens on the PDCCH addressed by the RA-RNTI.

2. Once the PDCCH with the RA-RNTI is decoded, the UE uses the RB resources in the message to receive the
downlink transport block.
3. The downlink transport block contains the MAC PDU.
The UE MAC PDU consists of one or more MAC subPDUs.
Since multiple UEs may send a Preamble in the same RACH opportunity, they will all be addressed by
the same RA-RNTI.
Thus, multiple Random Access Responses (RAR) may be carried in a single MAC PDU (They
correspond to different UEs that initiated the random access procedure in the same RACH
opportunity).
Each RAR in the MAC PDU is addressed to a different UE via RAPID value.
