Introduction
CBRA CFRA
❑ CBRA(Contention Based Random Access)
Initiate access, handover and ue initiated ul resync
— Other cell ranges than 15 km can be set if the Maximum Cell Range
› Therefore, neighboring
— feature is enabled cells RSI should differ by
at least 10, resulting a
reuse of 838 (0 to 837) /
rachRootSequence 10 → 80 “groups”
The first root (Zadoff-Chu) sequence number for Random Access Channel
(RACH) preamble generation. It is broadcasted as a part of system
information distribution and used for preamble detection
The parameter takes the value in the range of 0 to 837 and the default value
is 386. It is recommended to set the parameter rachRootSequence to
different values in neighboring cells to reduce the probability for false RACH
detections Based on 3GPP 36.211
cellRange
Defines the maximum distance from the RBS where a connection to a UE can
be setup or maintained, or both
For a cellrange of 15 km size, the values of rachRootSequence in adjacent cells must differ by at least 10 between any two neighbors (and at most 827 since there is a wrap-around between the first
and last value in the value range) in order to eliminate overlap or collision

CellRange and RachRootSequence Relation on CBRA Case
Background: Analysis
▪ Sharp raising of pmRaAttCbra was observed in a sudden in cell prachConfiguration collision was observed, so there might be high risk of false CBRA Msg1
EJD961B, started from 2018-05-26 21:45:00 detection among cells, and which might lead to pmRaAttCbra Abnormal Stepping Issue.
▪ But counter pmRaSuccCbra did not show obvious degradation before
and after sharp raising of pmRaAttCbra;
Way Forward:
— If pmRaAttCbra Abnormal Stepping Issue was observed with
— No obvious abnormal behavior was observed for counter ” pmRaSuccCbra”,
”pmRaAttCfra”, and ”pmRaSuccCfra”
— No obvious abnormal behavior was observed for UL interfernce counters
— No obvious abnormal behavior was observed for other KPI/PI measurements
— Please collect cell information with template in previous table within at least 15 km cell
range of current cell with issue observed.
— If PRACH configuration collision was observed, please contact Planning team first for
more suggestions

avoid RSN collision.
Parameter Description
rachRootSequence First root sequence number for RACH preamble generation.
RACH root sequence is broadcast as a part of system information
distribution and is used for preamble detection. For information on the
definition of logical root sequence number, see 3GPP TS 36.211.
Taking effect depends on the feature state.
