`station, the method comprising:
`
`
`The LTE specification (Series 36, Release 8) supports user equipment (UE) to perform a random access
`(RACH) procedure.
`
`For example, release 8 of the 36 series 3GPP specifications was frozen in December of 2008 and that release
`was used as the basis for the first wave of LTE equipment. The LTE marketplace currently supports a mix of
`releases from Release 8 through Release 15. For ease of review release 8 of the LTE specification is cited
`below, but similar cites are available for each corresponding release on the market.
`
`An LTE communication system provides access to multiple users (user equipments (UEs)) through multiple
`cells associated with multiple eNodeBs.

`The time duration of a combination of the random access signal and the guard period implemented using

`or 66.7 µs.
