Random access preamble format for systems with many antennas

The computational complexity of FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) processing in an OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex) based receiver is huge, with a large amount of receiver antennas. In LTE (Long Term Evolution) release 8, FFTs of different size are used for user data and random-access preambles requiring additional FFTs to be implemented for random-access reception.

Within the current paper, a 5G random-access preamble format is proposed based on a short sequence of the same length as the length of the OFDM symbols that are used for other uplink physical channels, such as user data, control signaling, and reference signals.
