METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR OPTIMIZED ACCESS OF A PHYSICAL RANDOM ACCESS CHANNEL
First Claim
1. A method for access of a physical random access channel (PRACH) comprising:
- sampling a plurality of mapped zones associated with a base station, each mapped zone including a plurality of endpoints;
determining a subset of disconnected endpoints in the given mapped zone, the disconnected endpoints being disconnected from a wireless network;
estimating a PRACH load based on the subset of disconnected endpoints in the given mapped zone; and
based on whether the estimated PRACH load is a pre-determined factor larger than an original PRACH allocation, increasing a PRACH allocation for accommodating reconnection of the subset of disconnected endpoints in the given mapped zone.

Abstract
A method for optimized access of a physical random access channel (PRACH) includes sampling a plurality of mapped zones associated with a base station. Each of the mapped zones has a plurality of endpoints. The method further includes determining a subset of disconnected endpoints in the given mapped zone where the disconnected endpoints are disconnected from a wireless network. The method also includes estimating a PRACH load based on the subset of disconnected endpoints. Additionally, based on whether the estimated PRACH load is a pre-determined factor larger than an original PRACH allocation, the method includes increasing the PRACH allocation to accommodate reconnection of the subset of disconnected endpoints in the given mapped zone.
