TA Concept
Similar to the location area and routing area in 2G/3G networks, the tracking area
(TA) is used for paging. TA planning aims to reduce location update signaling caused
by location changes in the LTE system.
TAI list
A list of TAIs that identify the tracking areas that the UE can enter without performing
a tracking area updating procedure. The TAIs in a TAI list assigned by an MME to a
UE pertain to the same MME area. Additionally, the TAIs in a TAI list assigned by an
MME to a CS fallback capable UE pertain to the same location area. In this case, the
defining of the relationship between the tracking area(s) and the location area(s) is
operator specific.
In LTE system, if an UE changes the TAs in the TAI list, TA update wont be triggered.

The function of PCIs in the LTE system is similar to that of scrambling codes in the
WCDMA system. PCI planning also aims to ensure the reuse distance.
Differences between a scrambling code and a PCI: The scrambling code ranges from 0
to 511 whereas the PCI ranges from 0 to 503. In addition, the protocols do not have
specific requirements for scrambling code planning. Therefore, only the reuse distance
needs to be ensured in scrambling code planning. For PCI planning, however, 3GPP
protocols require that the value of PCI/3 should be 0, 1, or 2 in each eNB.
The SCP can be used for PCI planning. The prototype version is available for the tool
specific to PCI planning but the tool needs evaluation.
For a high site that may lead to cross-cell coverage, a large reuse
distance needs to be set independently.

PRACH Planning
After initial neighbor relations configured and the number of UEs increasing,
some neighboring relations may be missing. In this case, ANR can be used
to detect missing neighboring cells and add neighbor relations, thus network
performance improved.

the physical root sequence index. The relation between the logical
root sequence index and physical root sequence index is defined in
protocols.
The preamble sequences are generated from theth root Zadoff-Chu
u
sequence through the following cyclic shift.
The cyclic shift value is defined as follows:
xu ,v (n) xu ((n Cv ) mod N ZC ) vN CS v 0,1,..., N ZC N CS 1, N CS 0 for unrestricted sets
Cv 0 N CS 0 for unrestricted sets
dstart v nshift (v mod nshift ) N CS v 0,1,..., nshift ngroup nshift 1
RA RA RA RA RA
for restricted sets
The planning aims to assign the root Zadoff-Chu sequence index for cells
to ensure that different preamble sequences are generated for
neighboring cells through the index. In this way, interference of preamble
sequences between neighboring cells can be reduced.

The unit of r is km. The unit of TMD is sec. The value of N CS is subject to the
cell radius and maximum delay extension.
