This topic describes the following PRACH Burst properties:
Multi-Burst Configuration Table
Logical Root Sequence Index (i)
Use this table to add, remove, and copy multiple PRACH bursts. For each burst, you can edit any of the non-grayed parameters.
For time-domain candidate location of each PRACH burst, you can edit Frame Offset, Subframe Index (Slot Index), n_RA_t, and n_RA_slot, but candidate values should be determined by the current configuration index.
For a frequency-domain candidate location of each PRACH burst, the range of n_RA_f is 0 to (Msg1 FDM - 1).
For each PRACH burst, use Preamble Index and PRACH Root Sequence Index to determine the Root Sequence Index and Cyclic Shift Index. You can also edit Root Sequence Index and Cyclic Shift Index if Preamble Index is set to -1.
RA_RNTI is a read-only parameter for your information only.
You can also set the Configuration Index to -1 for a user-defined PRACH. In this case, you can specify PRACH Format, Symbol Start, Subframe Index (slot index), and n_RA_f, but the following will automatically be set:
Frame Period is fixed to 1
Number of PRACH slots is fixed to 2
Number of time-domain PRACH occasions within a PRACH slot is fixed to 1
When recalling a settings file (*.scp) with N7631C v2.0, the configuration index is automatically set to -1 for backwards compatibility.
Adds a Burst to the Multi-Burst Configuration Table. The Burst is inserted above the currently selected Burst in the table. Up to 100 bursts can be added.
