Abstract:

An improved algorithm of random access channel(RACH)in broadband wireless access systems based on IEEE 802.16e-OFDMA is proposed. By combining the ranging signal in the time domain, the algorithm enhances the SNR of correlation in the frequency domain, and is more robust in the ranging user detection and delay estimation at low SNR. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm improves the performance of ranging user detection and delay estimation at low SNR, and enhances the performance of edge users. 
