The range for this field is 1 to 15.
You have now increased the distance from the for the Tp-m from three access slots (3.99 ms) to four
(5.32 ms). An access slot is 1.33 ms in length.
If you need to have a UE repeat its PRACH multiple times within the 80 ms time period, you may want
to keep the Tp-m to a minimum value. Since you are limited to 60 access slots (80 ms), an increase in the
Tp-m value further limits the number of times a UE’s PRACH can be repeated.
