An Acquisition Technique for LTE over Satellite
Abstract
In this paper we describe an acquisition method for LTE over satellite, based upon the standard 3GPP LTE PRACH waveform and processing procedures. The method requires modification of LTE user equipment (UE) only in software at Layer 2 and leverages the PRACH preamble processing (detection and estimation) at base station (eNodeB).
