N2 - The performance evaluation of the random access (RA) procedure in LTE-A has recently become a major research topic as these networks are expected to play a significant role in upcoming 5G networks. Up to now, the key performance indicators (KPIs) of the RA in LTE-A have been obtained either by performing a large number of simulations or by means of analytic models that sacrifice precision in exchange of simplicity. In this paper, we present an analytic model for the performance evaluation of the LTE-A RA procedure. Using this analytic model, each and every one of the KPIs suggested by the 3GPP can be obtained with a minimal error when compared to the results obtained by simulation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the most accurate analytic model of the LTE-A RA procedure.
