The widely used Zadoff-Chu sequence (ZC sequence) for random access preamble in 5G has limitations in terms of the total number of preambles generated, forcing the reuse of preambles. Hence, the probability of collision of preambles of UEs increase, resulting in the failure of random access procedure. To truly qualify beyond 5G networks as green technology, the preamble capacity should be increased without sacrificing energy efficiency. In this paper, we propose a new candidate preamble sequence called mALL sequence using the concept of cover sequences to achieve higher preamble capacity without degrading the power efficiency and hence minimizing device's carbon footprint. We compare the performance of mALL sequence with Zadoff-Chu sequence and other sequences in the literature, such as mZC and aZC sequences. We evaluate the performance of the preamble sequences in terms of periodic correlation, detection probability and the effect of diversity combining. Also, this paper explores the Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) and Cubic Metric(CM) for these sequences, as these are essential parameters to evaluate energy efficiency. We show that the preamble capacity of the proposed mALL sequence is 104 times higher than that of legacy ZC sequence without any deterioration in the detection performance.
