[0103] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, details an uplink transmission method, apparatus, terminal, and storage medium provided in this application through some embodiments and application scenarios.

[0104] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating a random access method provided in an embodiment of this application, applied to network-side devices, such as... Figure 2 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0105] Step 201: Send the pre-configured information to the terminal.

[0106] The pre-configuration information includes configuration information for multiple Non-Cell Definition-Synchronization Information Blocks (NCD-SSBs), configuration information for multiple Random Access Contexts (ROs), and the mapping relationship between each NCD-SSB and RO.

[0107] The pre-configured information includes a Synchronization Signal and PBCH block (SSB). The SSB can be used for initial access, measurement, Automatic Gain Control (AGC), and providing a Quasi Co-Location (QCL) source for the terminal. The SSB can be divided into Cell Defined Synchronization Block (CD-SSB) and Non-Cell Defined Synchronization Block (NCD-SSB).

[0108] The pre-configuration information includes not only the configuration information of multiple NCD-SSBs and the mapping relationship between each NCD-SSB and RO, but also the configuration information of multiple CD-SSBs and the mapping relationship between each CD-SSB and RO.

[0109] It should be noted that the mapping relationship between SSB (such as NCD-SSB or CD-SSB) and RO can be "one-to-many", "one-to-one", or "many-to-one".

[0110] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the SSB with index #1 can be associated with or mapped to 4 ROs (RO#1 to RO#4). This is called a "one-to-many" mapping relationship between the SSB and the RO. The user equipment (UE) can use the downlink receiving beam of the SSB with index #1 to send the corresponding message 1 (i.e., msg.1) on RO#1 to RO#4 respectively.

[0111] like Figure 4 As shown, SSB#1 to SSB#3 are associated or mapped to RO#1 to RO#3 respectively. This means that there is a one-to-one mapping relationship between SSB and RO. The UE can use the beam corresponding to the downlink receiving direction of the SSB index at the specified RO position to send the corresponding msg.1 on the specified RO index (for example, using the beam receiving the downlink receiving direction corresponding to SSB#1 to send the corresponding msg.1 on RO#1).

[0112] like Figure 5As shown, SSB#1 and SSB#2 are respectively mapped to the same RO#1. This is called a "many-to-one" mapping relationship between SSB and RO. The UE can use the downlink receive beam that receives SSB#1 or SSB#2 to send msg.1 sent on RO#1.

[0113] It should be noted that the terminal can obtain system messages, including the Master Information Block (MIB) and System Information Block 1 (SIB1), sent by the network-side device in broadcast form based on the SSB.

[0114] Step 202: Receive message 1 (msg.1) sent by the terminal on the RO mapped to NCD-SSB according to the pre-configuration information. Message 1 is used to complete the random access procedure.

[0115] It should be noted that before the network-side device receives msg.1 sent by the terminal on the RO mapped to NCD-SSB according to the pre-configuration information, the terminal will first determine the target RO among multiple ROs according to the pre-configuration information. The target RO is the RO of the best SSB mapping among the multiple SSBs mapped to the multiple ROs. If the best SSB is NCD-SSB, the network-side device will receive msg.1 sent by the terminal on the RO mapped to NCD-SSB; if the best SSB is CD-SSB, the network-side device will receive msg.1 sent by the terminal on the RO mapped to CD-SSB.

[0116] The criteria for determining the best SSB among multiple SSBs can be adaptively adjusted based on actual needs. For example, the SSB with the highest corresponding Reference Signal Receiving Power (RSRP) among multiple SSBs can be determined as the best SSB.

[0117] For example, such as Figure 6As shown, when the optimal SSB is NCD-SSB, the process of the terminal sending msg.1 on the RO mapped to the optimal SSB can be as follows: First, demodulate the NCD-SSB (i.e., the optimal SSB), and obtain the frequency domain position of the corresponding CD-SSB through the "pdcch-configSIB" parameter of the NCD-SSB's Master Information Block (MIB), and then demodulate the CD-SSB. Next, obtain the second parameter through System Information Block 1 (SIB1) of the demodulated CD-SSB. The second parameter includes the mapping configuration between the aforementioned NCD-SSB (optimal SSB) and the RO. Finally, the terminal sends msg.1 on the RO mapped to the aforementioned NCD-SSB (optimal SSB).

[0118] It should be noted that the second parameter can be understood as a parameter used to indicate the mapping relationship between multiple NCD-SSBs and multiple ROs (referring to configuring the mapping relationship between NCD-SSBs and ROs as one-to-many, many-to-one, or one-to-one).

[0119] In some implementations, the terminal can use the downlink receive beam that receives the aforementioned NCD-SSB (best SSB) to send msg.1 on the corresponding RO using the uplink transmit beam corresponding to the downlink receive beam (e.g., satisfying spatial relation).

[0120] After the network-side device receives msg.1 sent by the terminal, the terminal and the network-side device will perform the corresponding msg.2 to msg.4 interaction process to establish a communication link between the terminal and the network-side device.

[0121] In this embodiment of the application, by adding a mapping scheme between NCD-SSB and RO, the problem of wasting some RO resources that are not mapped to CD-SSB when the number of RO resources is not a multiple of the number of CD-SSBs is avoided. This not only reduces the waste of RO resources, but also shortens the time for the terminal to access the cell.

[0122] As an optional implementation, the pre-configuration information also includes configuration information for multiple cell definition-synchronization information blocks (CD-SSBs), and the mapping relationship between each CD-SSB and the RO.

[0123] When the quasi-co-address parameters of the target CD-SSB are different from those of the target NCD-SSB:

[0124] The time of the RO mapped to the target CD-SSB is earlier than the time of the RO mapped to the target NCD-SSB, or the time of the RO mapped to the target CD-SSB is later than the time of the RO mapped to the target NCD-SSB.

[0125] Wherein, the target CD-SSB is any one of the plurality of CD-SSBs, and the target NCD-SSB is any one of the plurality of NCD-SSBs.

[0126] For example, when the RO mapped to CD-SSB and the RO mapped to NCD-SSB are in the same association period, the network-side device can configure a set of CD-SSB (SS Burst set #1) and a set of NCD-SSB (SS Burst set #2) through the parameters "ssb-PosistionsInBurst" and "ncdssb-PosistionsInBurst", respectively. These include four CD-SSBs (CD-SSB#0 to CD-SSB#3 in SS Burst set #1) and three NCD-SSBs (NCD-SSB#0 to NCD-SSB#2 in SS Burst set #2). Simultaneously, the network-side device configures the mapping relationship between CD-SSB and RO as "one-to-one" through the first parameter and the mapping relationship between NCD-SSB and RO as "one-to-one" through the second parameter. At this time, the mapping relationship between SSB and RO can be as follows: Figure 7 As shown, CD-SSB#0~CD-SSB#3 are mapped or associated with RO#0~RO#3, and NCD-SSB#0~NCD-SSB#2 are mapped or associated with RO#4~RO#6; or, it can be as follows: Figure 8 As shown, NCD-SSB#0~NCD-SSB#2 is mapped or associated with RO#0~RO#2, and CD-SSB#0~CD-SSB#3 is mapped or associated with RO#3~RO#6.

[0127] It should be noted that when ROs mapped to CD-SSB and ROs mapped to NCD-SSB are in the same association period, the number of ROs can be greater than or equal to the sum of the number of NCD-SSBs and the number of CD-SSBs. That is, idle RO resources (referring to ROs that are neither mapped to NCD-SSBs nor to CD-SSBs) are allowed in this association period. In application, it is preferable to set the number of ROs to be equal to the sum of the number of NCD-SSBs and the number of CD-SSBs so that the RO resources in this association period are fully utilized.

[0128] The first parameter and the second parameter can be the same or different, and both can be parameters included in Radio Resource Control (RRC) information. For example, the first parameter and the second parameter can both be the “ssb-perRACH-OccasionAndCB-PreamblesPerSSB” parameter included in SIB1 of the RRC information.

[0129] In some implementations, the “ncdssb-PosistionsInBurst” parameter in the RRC information and the second parameter can be located in the “servringCellConfigCommonSIB” parameter in the SIB1 information or the “servringCellConfigCommon” parameter in the RRC information. For network-side devices and terminals, both the “ncdssb-PosistionsInBurst” parameter and the second parameter are optional configurations.

[0130] based on Figure 7 or Figure 8 As shown in the mapping configuration, the process of the terminal sending msg.1 through the RO mapped to NCD-SSB can still be as follows: Figure 6 As shown (when the optimal SSB is NCD-SSB), further details will not be elaborated upon to avoid repetition.

[0131] In this embodiment, when the RO mapped to CD-SSB and the RO mapped to NCD-SSB are in the same association period, mapping NCD-SSB to the RO resources in the association period that are not mapped to CD-SSB can conveniently add a mapping scheme between NCD-SSB and RO without changing the existing mapping relationship between CD-SSB and RO.

[0132] Optionally, the pre-configuration information also includes configuration information for multiple Cell Definition-Synchronization Information Blocks (CD-SSBs) and the mapping relationship between each CD-SSB and the RO. In the case where the multiple CD-SSBs and the multiple NCD-SSBs correspond to at least two association periods, the association period is one or more transmission periods of the Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) of the associated synchronization information block SSB.

[0133] The ROs mapped to the plurality of NCD-SSBs are located within a first association period, and the ROs mapped to the plurality of CD-SSBs are located within a second association period;

[0134] or,

[0135] The ROs mapped to a portion of NCD-SSBs are located within the first association period, while the ROs mapped to another portion of NCD-SSBs and the ROs mapped to the plurality of CD-SSBs are located within the second association period.

[0136] or,

[0137] The ROs mapped to the plurality of NCD-SSBs and the ROs mapped to a portion of CD-SSBs are located within the first association period, while the ROs mapped to another portion of CD-SSBs are located within the second association period.

[0138] It should be noted that multiple NCD-SSBs include at least two NCD-SSBs, a portion of NCD-SSBs includes at least one NCD-SSB, and another portion of NCD-SSBs also includes at least one NCD-SSB; similarly, multiple CD-SSBs include at least two CD-SSBs, a portion of CD-SSBs includes at least one CD-SSB, and another portion of CD-SSBs also includes at least one CD-SSB.

[0139] Network-side devices can determine the mapping relationship between a set of SSBs (SSB Burst set) and the ROs (Redirectories) in the configuration period of N Physical Random Access Channels (PRACH) through RRC parameters, etc. The configuration of the associated period is shown in Table 1:

[0140]

[0141]

[0142] Table 1

[0143] In this implementation, by adding an association period on top of the existing association period, the mapping relationship between the existing CD-SSB and RO can be changed, enabling the NCD-SSB and / or CD-SSB to be mapped to more ROs, thereby shortening the time for the UE to access the cell.

[0144] For example, if the network-side device is configured to associate a set of SSBs (SS Burst sets) with a maximum of one PRACH configuration period of 10 milliseconds, and the number of associated periods is 1; to achieve the mapping configuration between NCD-SSB and RO, a set of SSBs (SS Burst sets) can be configured to include a set of CD-SSBs (Non-Cell Define SS Burst sets) and a set of NCD-SSBs (Cell Define SS Burst sets). In this case, the number of associated periods can be set to 2 (or 4 / 8 / 16). The mapping relationship between NCD-SSB and RO can be configured based on the aforementioned second parameter.

[0145] For example, when the plurality of NCD-SSBs and the plurality of CD-SSBs correspond to at least two associated periods, and the ROs mapped to CD-SSBs and the ROs mapped to NCD-SSBs are located in different associated periods, the network-side device can configure a set of CD-SSBs (SS Burst set #1) and a set of NCD-SSBs (SS Burst set #2) using the parameters "ssb-PosistionsInBurst" and "ncdssb-PosistionsInBurst," respectively. These include 5 CD-SSBs (CD-SSB#0 to CD-SSB#4 in SS Burst set #1) and 5 NCD-SSBs (NCD-SSB#0 to NCD-SSB#4 in SS Burst set #2). Simultaneously, the network-side device configures the mapping relationship between CD-SSBs and ROs as "one-to-one" using the first parameter and the mapping relationship between NCD-SSBs and ROs as "one-to-one" using the second parameter. In this case, the mapping relationship between SSBs and ROs can be as follows: Figure 9 As shown, CD-SSB#0 to CD-SSB#4 are mapped or associated with RO#0 to RO#4 within association period 1, and NCD-SSB#0 to NCD-SSB#4 are mapped or associated with RO#0 to RO#4 within association period 2; or, it can be as follows Figure 10 As shown, NCD-SSB#0 to NCD-SSB#4 are mapped or associated with RO#0 to RO#4 within association period 1, and CD-SSB#0 to CD-SSB#4 are mapped or associated with RO#0 to RO#4 within association period 2.

[0146] It should be noted that when ROs mapped to multiple CD-SSBs and ROs mapped to multiple NCD-SSBs are located in different association periods, the number of ROs in the association period can be greater than or equal to the number of NCD-SSBs and / or the number of CD-SSBs. That is, idle RO resources are allowed in the association period (referring to ROs that are not mapped to NCD-SSBs in the association period corresponding to NCD-SSBs, and / or ROs that are not mapped to CD-SSBs in the association period corresponding to CD-SSBs).

[0147] For example, when the plurality of NCD-SSBs and the plurality of CD-SSBs correspond to at least two associated periods, the network-side device can configure a set of CD-SSBs (SS Burst set #1) and a set of NCD-SSBs (SS Burst set #2) using the parameters "ssb-PosistionsInBurst" and "ncdssb-PosistionsInBurst," respectively. These include four CD-SSBs (CD-SSB#0 to CD-SSB#3 in SS Burst set #1) and four NCD-SSBs (NCD-SSB#0 to NCD-SSB#3 in SS Burst set #2). Simultaneously, the network-side device configures the mapping relationship between CD-SSBs and ROs as one-to-one using the first parameter and the mapping relationship between NCD-SSBs and ROs as one-to-one using the second parameter. In this case, the mapping relationship between SSBs and ROs can be as follows: Figure 11 As shown, CD-SSB#0 to CD-SSB#3 are mapped or associated with RO#0 to RO#3 within association period 1; NCD-SSB#0 (which can be understood as the second NCD-SSB) is mapped or associated with RO#4 within association period 1; and NCD-SSB#1 to NCD-SSB#3 (which can be understood as the first NCD-SSB) are mapped or associated with RO#0 to RO#2 within association period 2. Alternatively, it can be as follows: Figure 12 As shown, NCD-SSB#0 to NCD-SSB#3 are mapped or associated with RO#0 to RO#3 within association period 1, CD-SSB#0 (which can be understood as the first CD-SSB) is mapped or associated with RO#4 within association period 1, and CD-SSB#1 to CD-SSB#3 (which can be understood as the second CD-SSB) are mapped or associated with RO#0 to RO#2 within association period 2.

[0148] As an optional implementation, the pre-configuration information also includes configuration information of multiple cell definition-synchronization information blocks (CD-SSBs) and mapping relationship between each CD-SSB and RO. When the quasi-co-address parameters of the target CD-SSB are the same as those of the target NCD-SSB, the time of the RO mapped to the target NCD-SSB overlaps with the time of the RO mapped to the target CD-SSB.

[0149] Wherein, the target CD-SSB is any one of the plurality of CD-SSBs, and the target NCD-SSB is any one of the plurality of NCD-SSBs.

[0150] The fact that the quasi-co-location parameters of the target CD-SSB are the same as those of the target NCD-SSB can be understood as the fact that each CD-SSB in the multiple CD-SSBs and each NCD-SSB in the multiple NCD-SSBs have the same quasi-co-location (QCL).

[0151] In this embodiment, when the quasi-co-address parameters of the target CD-SSB are the same as those of the target NCD-SSB, by setting the time of the RO mapped to the target NCD-SSB to overlap with the time of the RO mapped to the target CD-SSB, the existing mapping relationship between CD-SSB and RO can be changed, so that the NCD-SSB and RO can be fully mapped (not only mapping ROs already mapped to CD-SSB, but also mapping ROs not mapped to CD-SSB), thereby shortening the UE access time to the cell.

[0152] For example, network-side devices can configure a set of CD-SSBs (SS Burst set #1) and a set of NCD-SSBs (SS Burst set #2) using the parameters "ssb-PosistionsInBurst" and "ncdssb-PosistionsInBurst," respectively. These include three CD-SSBs (CD-SSB#0 to CD-SSB#2 in SS Burst set #1) and four NCD-SSBs (NCD-SSB#0 to NCD-SSB#3 in SS Burst set #2). Simultaneously, the network-side device configures the mapping relationship between CD-SSBs and ROs as one-to-one using the first parameter and the mapping relationship between NCD-SSBs and ROs as one-to-one using the second parameter. In this case, the mapping relationship between SSBs and ROs can be as follows: Figure 13As shown, CD-SSB#0~CD-SSB#2 are mapped or associated with RO#0~RO#2, and NCD-SSB#0~NCD-SSB#3 are mapped or associated with RO#1~RO#4.

[0153] It should be noted that the RO mapped to the target CD-SSB can also be a subset of the RO mapped to the target NCD-SSB. In this case, the mapping relationship between SSB and RO in the above example can be that CD-SSB#0~CD-SSB#2 is mapped or associated with RO#0~RO#2, and NCD-SSB#0~NCD-SSB#3 is mapped or associated with RO#0~RO#3.

[0154] As an optional implementation, the pre-configuration information also includes configuration information for multiple cell definition-synchronization information blocks (CD-SSBs), and the mapping relationship between each CD-SSB and the RO; the time of the RO mapped to the target NCD-SSB and the time of the RO mapped to the target CD-SSB do not overlap.

[0155] Wherein, the target CD-SSB is any one of the plurality of CD-SSBs, and the target NCD-SSB is any one of the plurality of NCD-SSBs.

[0156] In this implementation, CD-SSB and NCD-SSB are mapped to different ROs (e.g., cross-mapping) to make full use of RO resources that are not mapped by CD-SSB and to facilitate the addition of new mapping schemes between NCD-SSB and RO.

[0157] Optionally, the ROs mapped to the target NCD-SSB and the ROs mapped to the target CD-SSB are alternately set in the same time slot.

[0158] In this optional approach, assuming that both the ROs mapped to NCD-SSB and the ROs mapped to CD-SSB are located in RO time slots, the method of interleaving the ROs mapped to NCD-SSB and CD-SSB within the RO time slots can adapt to the changing mapping schemes between CD-SSB and RO in real-world scenarios without changing the existing mapping scheme between CD-SSB and RO. This allows for the full utilization of RO resources that are not mapped to CD-SSB in the existing configuration. This not only reduces the waste of RO resources and shortens the time for terminals to access the cell, but also reduces the difficulty of adding a mapping scheme between NCD-SSB and RO in the existing network configuration.

[0159] For example, see Figure 14 and Figure 15A single RO slot contains 12 ROs. Network-side devices can configure a CD-SSB (SS Burst set #1) and a NCD-SSB (SS Burst set #2) using the parameters "ssb-PosistionsInBurst" and "ncdssb-PosistionsInBurst," respectively. These include three CD-SSBs (CD-SSB#0 to CD-SSB#2 in SS Burst set #1) and three NCD-SSBs (NCD-SSB#0 to NCD-SSB#2 in SS Burst set #2). Simultaneously, the network-side device configures the mapping relationship between CD-SSBs and ROs as "one-to-many" using the first parameter and the mapping relationship between NCD-SSBs and ROs as "one-to-many" using the second parameter. At this point, as... Figure 14 As shown, CD-SSB#0 to CD-SSB#2 are mapped or associated with RO#0, RO#1, RO#4, RO#5, RO#8, and RO#9, and NCD-SSB#0 to NCD-SSB#2 are mapped or associated with RO#2, RO#3, RO#6, RO#7, RO#10, and RO#11, or, as... Figure 15 As shown, NCD-SSB#0~NCD-SSB#2 are mapped or associated with RO#0, RO#1, RO#4, RO#5, RO#8, and RO#9, and CD-SSB#0~CD-SSB#2 are mapped or associated with RO#2, RO#3, RO#6, RO#7, RO#10, and RO#11.

[0160] For example, a single RO slot contains 12 ROs. The network-side equipment is configured with one set of CD-SSBs (SSBurst set #1) and one set of NCD-SSBs (SS Burst set #2), comprising 6 CD-SSBs (CD-SSB#0 to CD-SSB#5 in SS Burst set #1) and 6 NCD-SSBs (NCD-SSB#0 to NCD-SSB#5 in SS Burst set #2), respectively. The mapping relationship between CD-SSBs and ROs is one-to-one, and the mapping relationship between NCD-SSBs and ROs is also one-to-one. In this case, such as... Figure 16As shown, CD-SSB#0 to CD-SSB#5 are mapped or associated with RO#0, RO#2, RO#4, RO#6, RO#8, and RO#10 in sequence, and NCD-SSB#0 to NCD-SSB#5 are mapped or associated with RO#1, RO#3, RO#5, RO#7, RO#9, and RO#11 in sequence (in actual applications, the mapping order between NCD-SSB and CD-SSB and RO is not restricted; it is also possible to set NCD-SSB#0 to NCD-SSB#5 to be mapped or associated with RO#0, RO#2, RO#4, RO#6, RO#8, and RO#10 in sequence, and CD-SSB#0 to CD-SSB#5 to be mapped or associated with RO#1, RO#3, RO#5, RO#7, RO#9, and RO#11 in sequence).

[0161] For example, a single RO slot contains 12 ROs. The network-side equipment is configured with one set of CD-SSBs (SSBurst set #1) and one set of NCD-SSBs (SS Burst set #2), comprising 5 CD-SSBs (CD-SSB#0 to CD-SSB#4 in SS Burst set #1) and 7 NCD-SSBs (NCD-SSB#0 to NCD-SSB#6 in SS Burst set #2), respectively. The mapping relationship between CD-SSBs and ROs is one-to-one, and the mapping relationship between NCD-SSBs and ROs is also one-to-one. In this case, the mapping relationship between SSBs and ROs can be as follows: Figure 17 As shown, CD-SSB#0 to CD-SSB#4 are mapped or associated with RO#0, RO#1, RO#3, RO#8, and RO#10 respectively, and NCD-SSB#0 to NCD-SSB#6 are mapped or associated with RO#2, RO#4, RO#5, RO#6, RO#7, RO#9, and RO#11 respectively; or, as Figure 18 As shown, CD-SSB#0 to CD-SSB#4 are mapped or associated with RO#0, RO#1, RO#2, RO#3, and RO#5 respectively, and NCD-SSB#0 to NCD-SSB#6 are mapped or associated with RO#4, RO#6, RO#7, RO#8, RO#9, RO#10, and RO#11 respectively.

[0162] It should be noted that the above examples are only used to illustrate a partial scheme for interleaving the ROs mapped to NCD-SSB and CD-SSB within the RO time slot. In practical applications, please refer to... Figure 14 , 15 Alternatively, as shown in scheme 16, the ROs mapped to NCD-SSB and the ROs mapped to CD-SSB are sequentially staggered within the RO time slot; reference can also be made to...Figure 17 or Figure 18 The scheme shown involves randomly misaligning the ROs mapped to NCD-SSB and the ROs mapped to CD-SSB within the RO time slot. This application does not limit this aspect.

[0163] Optionally, the pre-configuration information may also include configuration information for multiple cell definition-synchronization information blocks (CD-SSBs) and the mapping relationship between each CD-SSB and the RO; in the case where the multiple CD-SSBs and the multiple NCD-SSBs correspond to reference time slots, and the reference time slots include adjacent first and second time slots.

[0164] The ROs mapped to the plurality of NCD-SSBs are located in the first time slot, and the ROs mapped to the plurality of CD-SSBs are located in the second time slot;

[0165] or,

[0166] The ROs mapped to a portion of NCD-SSB and the ROs mapped to a portion of CD-SSB are interleaved in the first time slot, and the ROs mapped to another portion of NCD-SSB and the ROs mapped to another portion of CD-SSB are interleaved in the second time slot.

[0167] It should be noted that in Frequency Range 1 (FR1), the reference time slot should be understood as the time slot length occupied when the sub-carrier spacing (SCS) is 15kHz; in Frequency Range 2 (FR2), the reference time slot should be understood as the time slot length occupied when the sub-carrier spacing is 60kHz.

[0168] Meanwhile, in band 1, if one set of RO resources is configured in the reference time slot, two sets of RO resources can be configured in the time slot length occupied when the sub-carrier spacing (SCS) is 30kHz. Similarly, in band 2, if one set of RO resources is configured in the reference time slot, two sets of RO resources can be configured in the time slot length occupied when the sub-carrier spacing (SCS) is 120kHz.

[0169] For example, such as Figure 19As shown, when the reference time slot includes RO time slot 1 and RO time slot 2, CD-SSB#0 to CD-SSB#2 are mapped or associated with RO#0 to RO#5 in RO time slot 1, respectively, and NCD-SSB#0 to NCD-SSB#2 are mapped or associated with RO#6 to RO#11 in RO time slot 2, respectively. It should be noted that NCD-SSB#0 to NCD-SSB#2 can also be set to be mapped or associated with RO#0 to RO#5 in RO time slot 1, and CD-SSB#0 to CD-SSB#2 can be mapped or associated with RO#6 to RO#11 in RO time slot 2, respectively. Through the above settings (meaning that the RO mapped with the multiple NCD-SSBs is located in the first time slot, and the RO mapped with the multiple CD-SSBs is located in the second time slot), the RO mapped with CD-SSBs and the RO mapped with NCD-SSBs are located in different sub-time slots of the reference time slot.

[0170] For example, such as Figure 20 As shown, when the reference time slots include RO time slot 1 and RO time slot 2, CD-SSB#0 to CD-SSB#1 are mapped or associated with RO#0 to RO#1 and RO#4 to RO#5 in RO time slot 1, respectively; NCD-SSB#0 is mapped or associated with RO#2 to RO#3 in RO time slot 1; NCD-SSB#1 to NCD-SSB#2 are mapped or associated with RO#6 to RO#7 and RO#10 to RO#11 in RO time slot 2, respectively; and CD-SSB#2 is mapped or associated with RO#8 to RO#9 in RO time slot 2. It should be noted that NCD-SSB#0 to NCD-SSB#1 can also be set to be mapped or associated with RO#0 to RO#1 and RO#4 to RO#5 in RO time slot 1, respectively. The RO#2 to RO#3 in RO time slot 1 are mapped or associated with each other; CD-SSB#1 to CD-SSB#2 are mapped or associated with RO#6 to RO#7 and RO#10 to RO#11 in RO time slot 2, respectively; NCD-SSB#2 is mapped or associated with RO#8 to RO#9 in RO time slot 2. Through the above settings (referring to the RO mapped with a part of NCD-SSB and the RO mapped with a part of CD-SSB being alternately set in the first time slot, and the RO mapped with another part of NCD-SSB and the RO mapped with another part of CD-SSB being alternately set in the second time slot), each sub-time slot (such as RO time slot 1 or RO time slot 2) included in the reference time slot includes both RO mapped with CD-SSB and RO mapped with NCD-SSB.

[0171] Optionally, if the ROs mapped to a portion of NCD-SSBs and the ROs mapped to a portion of CD-SSBs are interleaved in the first time slot, and the ROs mapped to another portion of NCD-SSBs and the ROs mapped to another portion of CD-SSBs are interleaved in the second time slot:

[0172] The portion of CD-SSB includes a first header CD-SSB, and the RO mapped to the first header CD-SSB is the earliest corresponding RO among the multiple ROs included in the first time slot.

[0173] The other part of the CD-SSB includes a second head CD-SSB, and the RO mapped to the second head CD-SSB is the earliest corresponding RO among the multiple ROs included in the second time slot.

[0174] In this implementation, the first RO of each sub-time slot within the reference time slot is mapped or associated with the CD-SSB. This is to adapt to the network-side equipment's measure of uniformly configuring the mapping scheme between the CD-SSB and RO for each sub-time slot within the reference time slot, thus facilitating the addition of new mapping schemes between the NCD-SSB and RO.

[0175] For example, such as Figure 21 As shown, when the reference time slots include RO time slot 1 and RO time slot 2, CD-SSB#0 to CD-SSB#1 are mapped or associated with RO#0 to RO#1 and RO#4 to RO#5 in RO time slot 1, respectively. NCD-SSB#0 is mapped or associated with RO#2 to RO#3 in RO time slot 1. CD-SSB#2 to CD-SSB#3 are mapped or associated with RO#6 to RO#7 and RO#10 to RO#11 in RO time slot 2, respectively. NCD-SSB#1 is mapped or associated with RO#8 to RO#9 in RO time slot 2 (RO#0 in RO time slot 1 and RO#6 in RO time slot 2 can be understood as ROs mapped to the first header CD-SSB or the second header CD-SSB).

[0176] As an optional implementation, before sending the pre-configuration information to the terminal, the method further includes:

[0177] Based on the pre-configured Radio Resource Control (RRC) parameters, multiple NCD-SSBs and multiple ROs are mapped to generate pre-configured information.

[0178] In this implementation, the mapping scheme between NCD-SSB and RO is configured through the relevant parameters already set in the RRC parameters to avoid the problem of RO resource waste and shorten the time for the terminal to access the cell.

[0179] Please see Figure 22 ,Figure 22 This is a flowchart of another random access method provided in an embodiment of this application, applied to a terminal, such as... Figure 22 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0180] Step 2201: Receive pre-configuration information sent by the network-side device.

[0181] The pre-configuration information includes configuration information for multiple Non-Cell Definition-Synchronization Information Blocks (NCD-SSBs), configuration information for multiple Random Access Contexts (ROs), and the mapping relationship between each NCD-SSB and RO.

[0182] Step 2202: Send message 1 to the network-side device on the RO mapped to NCD-SSB according to the pre-configuration information, so that the network-side device completes the random access process according to message 1.

[0183] Optionally, the pre-configuration information may also include configuration information for multiple cell definition-synchronization information blocks (CD-SSBs) and the mapping relationship between each CD-SSB and the RO.

[0184] When the quasi-co-address parameters of the target CD-SSB are different from those of the target NCD-SSB:

[0185] The time of the RO mapped to the target CD-SSB is earlier than the time of the RO mapped to the target NCD-SSB, or the time of the RO mapped to the target CD-SSB is later than the time of the RO mapped to the target NCD-SSB.

[0186] Wherein, the target CD-SSB is any one of the plurality of CD-SSBs, and the target NCD-SSB is any one of the plurality of NCD-SSBs.

[0187] Optionally, the pre-configuration information also includes configuration information for multiple Cell Definition-Synchronization Information Blocks (CD-SSBs) and the mapping relationship between each CD-SSB and the RO. In the case where the multiple CD-SSBs and the multiple NCD-SSBs correspond to at least two association periods, the association period is one or more transmission periods of the Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) of the associated synchronization information block SSB.

[0188] The ROs mapped to the plurality of NCD-SSBs are located within a first association period, and the ROs mapped to the plurality of CD-SSBs are located within a second association period;

[0189] or,

[0190] The ROs mapped to a portion of NCD-SSBs are located within the first association period, while the ROs mapped to another portion of NCD-SSBs and the ROs mapped to the plurality of CD-SSBs are located within the second association period.

[0191] or,

[0192] The ROs mapped to the plurality of NCD-SSBs and the ROs mapped to a portion of CD-SSBs are located within the first association period, while the ROs mapped to another portion of CD-SSBs are located within the second association period.

[0193] Optionally, the pre-configuration information may also include configuration information for multiple cell definition-synchronization information blocks (CD-SSBs) and the mapping relationship between each CD-SSB and the RO.

[0194] When the quasi-co-address parameters of the target CD-SSB are the same as those of the target NCD-SSB, the time of the RO mapped to the target NCD-SSB overlaps with the time of the RO mapped to the target CD-SSB.

[0195] Wherein, the target CD-SSB is any one of the plurality of CD-SSBs, and the target NCD-SSB is any one of the plurality of NCD-SSBs.

[0196] Optionally, the pre-configuration information may also include configuration information for multiple cell definition-synchronization information blocks (CD-SSBs) and the mapping relationship between each CD-SSB and the RO.

[0197] The time of RO mapped to the target NCD-SSB does not overlap with the time of RO mapped to the target CD-SSB;

[0198] Wherein, the target CD-SSB is any one of the plurality of CD-SSBs, and the target NCD-SSB is any one of the plurality of NCD-SSBs.

[0199] Optionally, the ROs mapped to the target NCD-SSB and the ROs mapped to the target CD-SSB are alternately set in the same time slot.

[0200] Optionally, the pre-configuration information also includes configuration information for multiple Cell Definition-Synchronization Information Blocks (CD-SSBs), and the mapping relationship between each CD-SSB and the RO; in the case where the multiple CD-SSBs and the multiple NCD-SSBs correspond to reference time slots, and the reference time slots include adjacent first and second time slots:

[0201] The ROs mapped to the plurality of NCD-SSBs are located in the first time slot, and the ROs mapped to the plurality of CD-SSBs are located in the second time slot;

[0202] or,

[0203] The ROs mapped to a portion of NCD-SSB and the ROs mapped to a portion of CD-SSB are interleaved in the first time slot, and the ROs mapped to another portion of NCD-SSB and the ROs mapped to another portion of CD-SSB are interleaved in the second time slot.

[0204] Optionally, if the ROs mapped to a portion of NCD-SSBs and the ROs mapped to a portion of CD-SSBs are interleaved in the first time slot, and the ROs mapped to another portion of NCD-SSBs and the ROs mapped to another portion of CD-SSBs are interleaved in the second time slot:

[0205] The portion of CD-SSB includes a first header CD-SSB, and the RO mapped to the first header CD-SSB is the earliest corresponding RO among the multiple ROs included in the first time slot.

[0206] The other part of the CD-SSB includes a second head CD-SSB, and the RO mapped to the second head CD-SSB is the earliest corresponding RO among the multiple ROs included in the second time slot.
