Abstract:
Disclosed are narrowband (NB)-physical random access channel (PRACH) techniques for NB-long term evolution (LTE) systems supporting cellular internet of things (CIoT) and machine-type communications (MTC) deployments. Apparatus and methods are described for generating, transmitting, or receiving an NB-PRACH defined by an NB-PRACH physical structure and an NB-PRACH numerology.

Claim (Index 26):
Electronic device circuitry for a user equipment (UE) configured to use a narrowband (NB) bandwidth when performing random access of a cellular network associated with an evolved Node B (eNB) providing the NB bandwidth at a frequency band of a repurposed deployment using global systems for mobile communications (GSM) spectrum, an in-band deployment using a physical resource block (PRB) of a larger-bandwidth long term evolution (LTE) system, or a guard-band deployment using a guard band of the larger-bandwidth LTE system, the electronic device circuitry comprising:\n control circuitry configured to generate an NB-physical random access channel (NB-PRACH) defined by an NB-PRACH physical structure and an NB-PRACH numerology; the NB-PRACH physical structure including a cyclic prefix (CP), a guard time (GT), and an NB-PRACH sequence between the CP and the GT; and the NB-PRACH numerology configured to size components of the NB-PRACH physical structure such that a beginning of the CP and an end of the GT temporally correspond with a beginning and an end of one or more LTE subframes that each have a one millisecond (1 ms) duration, and the NB-PRACH numerology configured to maintain a number of subcarriers at a subcarrier spacing to establish the NB-PRACH as having an NB-PRACH bandwidth within the NB bandwidth.
