2. Cell Search Procedure-1/2
• Cell search is done to obtain downlink synchronization
with cell to detect the BCCH
• There are two synchronization channels P-SCH & S-SCH
• Synchronization Channel (SCH) always occupies only 63
(62 + DC carrier which is not used) sub-carriers in the
center of the available spectrum Why?!
• SCH are always transmitted in frame 0 & 5

13. RACH Procedure
1.Either network indicates specific
PRACH resource or UE selects from
common PRACH resources.
2.UE sends random access
preambles at increasing power.
3.UE receives random access
response on the PDCCHwhich
includes assigned resources for
PUSCH transmission.
•Physical Resource Blocks (PRB)
and Modulation and Coding
Scheme (MCS)
4.UE sends signaling and user data
on PUSCH
