- Abstract
- Millimeter wave (mmWave) spectrum promises unprecedented data rates in 5G New Radio (NR). However, mmWave links are susceptible to severe path and propagation losses. Implementation of directional antennas that can manifest multiple beams becomes necessary at 5G base stations (gNBs) and User Equipments (UEs). Random access procedure (RAP), which is the first stage to establish connections to gNB, in its current state would be inadequate for such systems. To support RAP, 5G NR introduced mapping of different subsets of preambles in Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) to different beams. We explore changes in RAP due to preamble-beam mapping and present a novel online algorithm to dynamically distribute preambles amongst beams to achieve fair access opportunities. The proposed algorithm can also eliminate overload problem of the beams with large UE population especially for high arrival rates. We extend the proposed algorithm to be applicable for RAP with access class barring mechanism which enables UEs to transmit a preamble with an optimal probability and, therefore, reduce access congestion. Through extensive simulations, we validate the efficiency of our proposed algorithms in providing fair channel access opportunities, improving throughput (or stability region), and reducing access delay when the system has high rate of UE arrivals and has unbalanced UE arrivals over different beams.
