Abstract
If ranging processes are not frequent in an uplink OFDMA system, timing synchronization between the base and mobile stations may not be maintained and the performance may be degraded. This paper proposes a random access scheme in which a short OFDMA symbol is transmitted to maintain the orthogonality with timing offsets. A short symbol is constructed by inserting zero-padding to an OFDMA symbol.
