In order to solve the problem of unreasonable design for physical random access channel （PRACH） signal structure and reduce the effect of time uncertainty, this paper proposes a novel random access preamble based on time pre-compensation （TPC） for LTE-Satellite （LTE-S） system. In this scheme, by applying the method of non-linear least squares, the user terminal （UT） can use and based on the transmission delay the receiving power to estimate the communication round trip delay （RTD） of the beam center and the satellite, RTD can be compensated before transmission. Therefore, the preamble length and duration can be reduced without related to the maximum of RTD. In order to verify the performance of the scheme, the MATLAB is used to build a test system.
