Abstract

The present invention provides a method for performing an initial access process used in a wireless access system and in an ultrahigh frequency band, and devices supporting same. The method for performing a high-speed initial access process in a wireless access system supporting an ultrahigh frequency band, according to one embodiment of the present invention, may comprise the steps of: receiving a synchronizing signal; receiving a broadcast channel signal; generating a random access preamble by using pre-fixed physical random access parameters according to a small cell supported in the ultrahigh frequency band; and transmitting the generated random access preamble on the basis of the synchronizing signal and the broadcast channel signal.

Claims (44)

1. A method for performing a fast initial access procedure in a wireless access system supporting an ultrahigh frequency band, the method comprising:

receiving a synchronization signal;

receiving a broadcast channel signal;

generating a Random Access Channel (RACH) preamble using prefixed Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) parameters including cyclic shift values selected from only an unrestricted set; and

transmitting the generated RACH preamble based on the synchronization signal and the broadcast channel signal.

2. The method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the PRACH parameters further include one or more of a PRACH configuration index parameter indicating a PRACH configuration and an RACH preamble format, a PRACH frequency offset parameter indicating a frequency position at which the RACH preamble is to be transmitted, a root sequence index parameter indicating a root Zadoff Chu (ZC) sequence, a Zero Correlation Zone (ZCZ) configuration parameter indicating a cyclic shift value, and a fast flag parameter indicating whether cyclic shifts are selected from a restricted set or an unrestricted set.

3. A method for performing a fast initial access procedure in a wireless access system supporting an ultrahigh frequency band, the method comprising:

receiving a synchronization signal;

receiving a broadcast channel signal through a physical broadcast channel (PBCH);

if the broadcast channel signal includes one or more Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) parameters, generating a Random Access Channel (RACH) preamble based on the PRACH parameters and the synchronization signal; and

transmitting the generated RACH preamble.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the one or more PRACH parameters include at least one of a PRACH configuration index parameter indicating a PRACH configuration and an RACH preamble format, a PRACH frequency offset parameter indicating a frequency position at which the RACH preamble is to be transmitted, a root sequence index parameter indicating a root Zadoff Chu (ZC) sequence, a Zero Correlation Zone (ZCZ) configuration parameter indicating a cyclic shift value, and a fast flag parameter indicating whether cyclic shifts are selected from a restricted set or an unrestricted set.

5. The method according to claim 3 ,

wherein the one or more PRACH parameters are received via reserved bits in the broadcast channel signal except for bits to which a master information block is mapped.

6. The method according to claim 3 ,

wherein a PRACH frequency offset parameter indicating a frequency position for transmitting the PRACH preamble is obtained using a cell identifier detected from the synchronization signal.

7. The method according to claim 3 ,
