From: Random access with adaptive packet aggregation in LTE/LTE-A

Parameter

Description

Value

T RAR

Duration that starts at the end of a preamble’s transmission and ends at the time instant when the RAR message can be received

5 ms

T D

Time used to decode a RAR message

3 ms

T RARW

Random access response window

10 ms

T timer

Contention resolution timer

24 ms

T CR

Duration which starts at time instant when a UE sends the SR message and ends at the time instant when a UE decodes the contention resolution message

8 ms

T E

State holding time if no RAR message is received by UE (T E=T RAR+T RARW).

15 ms

T C

State holding time if a preamble is transmitted with collision and it is correctly detected by eNB (T C=T RAR+T D+T timer)

32 ms

16 ms

W

Backoff window size

30

N C

Number of preamble

20

M

Transmission limit

5

α
