In case FDD there is a maximum of one set of resource blocks allocated to the
PRACH within each subframe so f_id always equals 0 and equation simplifies to
RA-RNTI = 1 + t_id
Therefore, RA_RNTI is decided by the sending timing (SubFrame) of PRACH
Preamble by UE. It means that (the subframe number (number between
0000~0009) of PRACH transmission + 1) is RA-RNTI.
• This is achieved by the eNode B instructing the UE to use a specific resource which
is outside the pool available to UE completing the contention based random access
procedure, i.e, some of the 64 preamble sequences can be reserved for allocation
by the eNode B.
• There are two possibilities for the non-contention based random access
procedure.
– Intra-system handover: the PRACH resource is signalled to the UE within an RRC Connection
reconfiguration message. The initial layer 3 is an RRC Connection reconfiguration complete
message on the DCCH logical channel.
– Arrival of downlink data while non-synchronised: the PRACH resource is signalled to the UE
within a downlink control information(DCI) format 1A PDCCH. The initial layer 3 message is an
uplink information transfer message on the DCCH logical channel.
