Method for optimizing the random access procedures in the cdma cellular networks

摘要

The disclosed invention is referred to a method for optimising the random access procedures in third generation CDMA cellular telephony systems. The particular embodiment of the example concerns a TD-SCDMA-TDD synchronous realization. The disclosed procedure includes a preliminary part charged to the network (BSSC, MSC) only for establishing the following associations between the configuration parameters of the involved physical channels: ;one signature burst (SYNC1) is associated to one forward access channel (P-FACH) only, in order to avoid any, ambiguity in the mobile stations about where to look for the expected acknowledgement from the network; ;one random access common channel (P-RACH) is associated to one forward access channel (P-FACH) only, in order to reduce collision on the latter (P-RACH); ;one access grant channel (P/S-CCPCH, AGCH) only is associated to one random access common channel (P-RACH), in order to avoid any ambiguity in the mobile stations about where to look for the expected answer from the network with the indication of the dedicated service channels (DPCH); and ;each complete associative link binding the involved physical channels is included in the system information and broadcasted into the serving cell to be read by the mobile stations (MS, UE) when entering an actual part of the procedure charged to exchange protocol messages with the network (BSSC, MSC) through said associative links that being signalling at once to the mobile stations the route towards the services offered by the network, simplifying the access procedure consequently. ;Suitable groupings among: Downlink pilot sequences, Uplink pilot sequences, scrambling codes, basic midambles, are carried out in a cell-discriminating way and broadcasted into the cell to simplify the serving cell selection procedure (FIG. 1).
