    Abstract: Systems, methods and computer software are disclosed for providing high resolution timing advance estimation based on Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH). An example method includes receiving a preamble signal r(n) having a predetermined sampling frequency and a predetermined length; correlating a down sampled version of the received preamble with a reference preamble sequence c(n) using an FFT method to provide correlation output Ryc; using a peak value P of the correlation output Ryc to detect a preamble ID and a timing advance at a resolution of 24Ts; zero padding sequences Y(k) and C(k) so that they have a predetermined length resulting in sequences Y_hat(k) and C_hat(k), which are 1024-point FFT of y(n) and c(n); performing a maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) to estimate a timing offset; and detecting a peak value out of the R_hat(m) and using a corresponding index Q to provide a timing advance with an accuracy of 2Ts.
