  • UE During the random access procedure, UE first transmits the PRACH preamble and then waits for RAR in the RAR window corresponding to its RACH preamble transmission. Sometimes due to congestion on PRACH channel, PRACH preamble transmission may not be successful. In the current system, in such a situation network sends RAR with back off indicator/index (BI). UE then backoff i.e. UE retransmits PRACH preamble after a time period which is randomly selected between 0 and backoff value. The backoff value corresponding to backoff index received in RAR, is obtained by UE from a pre-defined backoff table. All UEs perform backoff in similar manner. During the PRACH preamble retransmission UE ramps up the power by PowerRampingStep. PowerRampingStep is signaled in SI. All UEs apply same PowerRampingStep. The current mechanism is not efficient as latency requirement may be different for different UEs. A method is needed to reduce latency.
