This document contains text proposal for uplink physical channels to be added to [3]. 7.X.1.4 Uplink transport channels There are three type of uplink physical channels defined (see Figure 7.X.1.4-1) and they are: Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) – for initial random access and on-demand request for PUSCH of active mobile stations Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) – traffic Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) – ACK/NAK to PDSCH A detailed description of each of these physical channels is provided in the rest of this section. Figure 7.X.1.4-1. Uplink physical channels 7.X.1.4.1 Physical random access channel The Physical random access channel (PRACH) resource occupies Kprach tones and slot numbers 0, 1, 2, … 23. A number of different PRACH resources can to be defined in the specification (i.e. number of tones, frequencies for PRACH and how the PRACH resources are sub-divided for each coverage class). Furthermore different cells can utilize different Kprach tones to minimize inter-cell interference and to facilitate this a small number of PRACH resource origins can be specified in the specification. The PRACH resource structure and position is then provided in the system information sent on PBCH. PRACH resource for each coverage class is sub-divided into segments where a PRACH segment consists of one tone over a number of slots. Tone hops every slot so as to assist the base station to measure the time-of-arrival for uplink timing control. A number of modulation and coding schemes are proposed to be used for a PRACH (see Table 7.X.1.4.1-1 for normal cells and Table 7.X.1.4.1-2 for large cells with radii greater 8 km), one modulation and coding scheme for each coverage class.
