Description

[0001] This application belongs to the field of wireless communication technology, specifically relating to a random access method, a terminal, and a network-side device. Background Technology

[0002] In New Radio (NR) systems, two types of random access procedures are typically supported: the 4-step Random Access Channel (RACH) for the first message (Msg1) and the 2-step RACH for MsgA. Both types of random access procedures support both contention-based RA (CBRA) and contention-free RA (CFRA).

[0003] However, for the aforementioned 4-step RACH procedure, during the random access process, for terminals located in deep fading areas such as cell edge areas or obstacle-blocked areas, the coverage performance of uplink channels such as Msg1 is worse than that of downlink channels or uplink channels in connected mode, making it difficult for terminals to achieve cell access.

[0030] Figure 1This diagram illustrates the structure of a wireless communication system applicable to embodiments of this application. The wireless communication system includes a terminal 11 and a network-side device 12. The terminal 11 can also be referred to as a terminal device or user equipment (UE). The terminal 11 can be a mobile phone, tablet computer, laptop computer, personal digital assistant (PDA), handheld computer, netbook, ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), mobile internet device (MID), wearable device, vehicle-mounted device (VUE), pedestrian terminal (PUE), etc. Wearable devices include smartwatches, wristbands, headphones, glasses, etc. It should be noted that this application does not limit the specific type of terminal 11.

The base station is not limited to specific technical terms. It should be noted that in this application embodiment, only the base station in the NR system is used as an example, but the specific type of base station is not limited.

[0031] The technical solutions provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through some embodiments and application scenarios.

[0032] like Figure 2a The diagram shown illustrates a flowchart of a random access method 200 provided in an exemplary embodiment of this application. This method 200 can be executed by, but is not limited to, a terminal, specifically by hardware and / or software installed in the terminal. In this embodiment, the method 200 may include at least the following steps.

[0033] S210, the terminal performs random access by repeatedly sending Msg1.

[0034] The random access procedure mentioned in this application is based on Msg1 4-step RACH. In this case, this application can enhance the coverage performance of Msg1 by repeatedly sending Msg1 for random access, enabling terminals located in deep fading areas such as cell edge areas or obstacle-blocked areas to achieve efficient cell access and ensure the reliability of wireless communication.

[0035] Optionally, when the terminal repeatedly transmits Msg1, it can do so based on a single beam (i.e., as shown in the image). Figure 2b As shown, multiple Msg1s can be associated with the same Synchronization Signal and PBCH block (SSB), or the Random Access Hour (RO) resource used when transmitting Msg1 can be associated with the same SSB; it can also be based on repeated transmission of Msg1s using multiple beams (i.e., as shown in the diagram). Figure 2b As shown, multiple Msg1 RO resources are associated with multiple different SSBs, or multiple Msg1 RO resources are associated with the same SSB, but each Msg1 uses a different transmit beam (no restrictions are imposed here).

[0036] Of course, when random access is performed by repeatedly transmitting Msg1, the subsequent reception operations of Msg2 / Msg4 and the transmission operations of Msg3 can be determined through static configuration or dynamic indication. For example, the terminal can determine the interpretation method of Msg2 and the transmission parameters of Msg3 based on static configuration or dynamic indication. These transmission parameters may include the number of transmissions and / or the transmission beam. It can be understood that the terminal's transmission beam can be described as a spatial domain transmission filter.

[0037] In this embodiment, the terminal achieves random access by repeatedly sending Msg1, which can enhance the coverage performance of Msg1 and ensure that the terminal can achieve efficient cell access.

[0038] like Figure 3 The diagram shown illustrates a flowchart of a random access method 300 provided in an exemplary embodiment of this application. This method 300 can be executed by, but is not limited to, a terminal, specifically by hardware and / or software installed in the terminal. In this embodiment, the method 300 may include at least the following steps.

[0039] S310, the terminal performs random access by repeatedly sending Msg1.

[0040] It is understood that the implementation process of S310 can be referred to the relevant description in method embodiment 200, and will not be repeated here to avoid repetition.

[0041] Understandably, in the case of repeated transmission of Msg1 for random access, the newly defined transmission format of Msg1 may affect the subsequent reception / transmission operations of Msg2 / 3 / 4 in the random access procedure. For example, when Msg1 is repeatedly transmitted and the RO resources of different Msg1s are associated with different SSBs, the terminal uses multiple uplink beams to transmit Msg1 and Msg3. Therefore, for Msg3 PUSCH transmission, the terminal needs to determine the uplink beam of Msg3 PUSCH before transmission.

[0042] Therefore, optionally, the method further includes:

[0043] S320, the terminal determines the sending parameters for the third message Msg3.

[0044] That is, the terminal determines the transmission parameters of the third message Msg3 when randomly accessing the system by repeatedly sending Msg1. Optionally, the transmission parameters may include the number of transmissions and / or the transmission beam.

[0045] In one possible implementation, the step of the terminal determining the number of times Msg3 is sent may include at least one of the following (11)-(14).

[0046] (11) The terminal determines the number of times Msg3 is sent based on the interpretation result of the uplink grant (UL Grant) included in the second message (Msg2) that it has been monitored.

[0047] It should be noted that Msg2 is obtained by the terminal after sending Msg1 by listening for Msg2.

[0048] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the terminal can interpret the UL Grant in Msg2 according to the first interpretation method to obtain the interpretation result of the UL Grant included in Msg2, such as the UL Grant format or whether the UL Grant indicates the number of transmissions of Msg3 and the indication information of the transmission beam, etc.

[0049] Optionally, the first interpretation method may include at least one of the following (111)-(113).

[0050] (111) UL Grant interpretation method indicated by first system information (SI). That is, the first interpretation method can be obtained through dynamic indication.

[0051] (112) Default UL Grant interpretation method. That is to say, the first interpretation method can be obtained through static configuration / protocol predefined method. In the scenario where Msg1 is repeatedly sent, the terminal interprets it according to the fixed UL grant format by default.

[0052] (113) UL Grant interpretation method indicated by the first field.

[0053] The first field may include any one of the fields in the sub-protocol data unit (sub PDU) included in Msg2 (such as reserved fields in the sub PDU), the fields in the UL grant included in Msg2, and the fields in the second downlink control information, wherein the second downlink control information is downlink control information (DCI) 1-0 scrambled with Random Access Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RA-RNTI).

[0054] The fields in the UL grant may include at least one of the following: Channel State Information Request (CSI request) field, Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) field (e.g., 1-2 bits of a 4-bit MCS field), and Transmit Power Control (TPC) field (e.g., 1-2 bits of a 3-bit TPC field). Additionally, a dedicated TDRA table can be defined via protocol predefinition or system messages. The TDRA table contains indication information (repetition count and / or transmit beam).

[0055] Of course, when indicating the UL Grant interpretation method through the aforementioned fields, one or more of the aforementioned fields can be configured to indicate the method through protocol agreement or high-level configuration, and the indication can be implemented in an explicit or implicit manner. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0056] Furthermore, when the terminal interprets the UL grant in Msg2 using the UL grant interpretation methods given in (111)-(113) above, the UL grant format corresponding to different interpretation methods may include any one of the following first UL grant format, second UL grant format and third UL grant format.

[0057] The first UL grant format indicates the number of times Msg3 is transmitted, but does not indicate the transmission beam of Msg3. Optionally, for the first UL grant format, the terminal can use the UL grant format defined in NR Rel-17 for interpretation.

[0058] In one implementation, the indication of the number of times Msg3 is sent can be achieved by redefining one or more fields in the UL grant (such as the PUSCH time resource allocation / TDRA field or MCS, etc.).

[0059] The second UL grant format, where the UL grant corresponding to the second UL grant format cannot indicate the number of transmissions and the transmission beam of Msg3. The second UL grant format can be understood as the UL grant format defined in NR Rel-15 / 16.

[0060] The third UL grant format, the UL grant corresponding to the third UL grant format, indicates the number of transmissions and the transmission beam of Msg3.

[0061] In one implementation, for the third UL grant format, the indication of the number of transmissions and the transmission beam of Msg3 can be achieved by redefining at least one of the fields in the UL grant (such as the CSI request field, the MCS field (e.g., 1 to 2 bits of the 4-bit MCS field), and the TPC field (e.g., 1 to 2 bits of the 3-bit TPC field); or, the indication of the number of transmissions and the transmission beam of Msg3 can also be achieved by defining a dedicated UL grant field, etc. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0062] Of course, based on the description of the first UL grant format, the second UL grant format and the third UL grant format, if the terminal interprets the UL grant included in Msg2 as the second UL grant format, then the terminal can further combine the subsequent (12) or (13) or other protocol pre-defined rules to determine the number of times Msg3 is sent.

[0063] If the terminal interprets the UL Grant included in Msg2 as being in either the first UL grant format or the third UL grant format, then the terminal can determine the number of times Msg3 is sent based on the transmission parameters indicated in the UL Grant.

[0064] (12) The terminal assumes that the number of times Msg3 is sent is equal to the number of times Msg1 is sent. That is, when the terminal repeatedly sends Msg1, Msg3 is also repeatedly sent, and the number of times it is sent is the same as the number of times Msg1 is sent.

[0065] (13) The terminal determines the number of times Msg3 is sent based on the value of RA-RNTI, and RA-RNTI is used to monitor Msg2.

[0066] In one implementation, if the network-side device (such as a base station) successfully detects Msg1 before the Msg1 repetition ends, then the terminal can calculate RA-RNTI according to the Msg1 time-frequency resource parameters corresponding to the successfully detected Msg1.

[0067] Of course, if the terminal sends multiple Msg1s, the base station can calculate multiple RA-RNTIs based on the Msg1 time-frequency resource parameters corresponding to the multiple Msg1s. In this case, it can be configured through protocol predefinition or system messages: different RA-RNTIs correspond to different numbers of Msg3 repetitions. For example, the first RA-RNTI corresponding to the first Msg1 corresponds to a single Msg3 transmission; the second RA-RNTI corresponding to the second Msg1 corresponds to the Msg3 being transmitted twice, and so on.

[0068] Alternatively, if the terminal uses multiple RA-RNTIs to monitor Msg2, the terminal can determine the number of times Msg3 is sent based on the value of the target RA-RNTI; wherein the target RA-RNTI is the RA-RNTI that successfully monitored Msg2 among the multiple RA-RNTIs, and the multiple RA-RNTIs correspond one-to-one with the first message Msg1 that was repeatedly sent. That is, the terminal uses multiple RA-RNTIs to monitor Msg2, and the RA-RNTI used when monitoring Msg2 is successful determines the number of times Msg3 is repeated.

[0069] (14) The terminal determines the number of times Msg3 is transmitted based on the first downlink control information, which includes TC-RNTI scrambled DCI 0-0. The first downlink control information may be sent to the terminal by the network-side device when Msg3 transmission fails to be scheduled via Msg2, to enable rescheduling of Msg3 retransmission and simultaneously indicate the retransmission parameters of Msg3, such as the number of transmissions and / or transmission beam.

[0070] That is, after the initial transmission of Msg3, the terminal can listen to the TC-RNTI scrambled DCI 0-0 to determine the number of times Msg3 will be retransmitted. For example, the number of times Msg3 will be retransmitted can be determined based on the indication information in the MCS field, New Data Indicator (NDI) field, HARQ process number field, etc. in DCI 0-0.

[0071] It should be noted that when the terminal adopts the method for determining the number of transmissions given in (11)-(14) above, the specific method of determination can be determined by the protocol agreement, high-level configuration or network-side device configuration, and there is no restriction here.

[0072] Furthermore, the step of the terminal determining the transmission beam of Msg3 may include at least one of the following (21)-(22).

[0073] (21) The terminal determines the transmission beam of Msg3 during initial transmission based on the first reference beam. The first reference beam is determined by the terminal based on the interpretation result of the UL Grant included in the monitored Msg2, the value of RA-RNTI, or the protocol default rule.

[0074] The implementation process of the first interpretation method used by the terminal to interpret the UL Grant included in the monitored Msg2 can be referred to the relevant description in (11) above, and will not be repeated here.

[0075] Of course, unlike the determination of the number of transmissions mentioned above, if the terminal interprets the UL Grant included in Msg2 as being in the first UL grant format or the second UL grant format, then the terminal can further determine the transmission beam of Msg3 based on the value of RA-RNTI, the default rules of the protocol, etc.

[0076] If the terminal interprets the UL Grant included in Msg2 as being in the format of a third UL grant, then the terminal can determine the transmission beam for the initial transmission of Msg3 based on the transmission beam indicated in the UL Grant.

[0077] In addition, the process by which the terminal determines the transmission beam of Msg3 during initial transmission based on the value of RA-RNTI may include: the terminal first determines the corresponding Msg1 or the SSB associated with the corresponding Msg1 based on the value of RA-RNTI, and then uses the transmission beam of Msg1 or the reception beam of the SSB as the transmission beam of Msg3.

[0078] The terminal determining the first reference beam according to the protocol rules may include: by default, the first reference beam is the receiving beam of Msg2, the transmitting beam of Msg1, the receiving beam of SSB, etc. The specific type of beam used as the first reference beam is configured by the protocol predefined or system message, and is not restricted here.

[0079] Based on the foregoing description, as a possible implementation, the first reference beam given in this embodiment may include at least one of the following (211)-(213).

[0080] (211) The transmission beam of Msg1. For example, the transmission beam of Msg3 during initial transmission can be the transmission beam of Msg1, but this embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0081] (212) The receiving beam of Msg2. For example, the transmitting beam of Msg3 during initial transmission can be the receiving beam of Msg2, but this embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0082] (213) The receiving beam of the Synchronization Signal and PBCH block (SSB), which is associated with Msg1. For example, the transmitting beam of Msg3 during initial transmission can be the receiving beam of the SSB, but this embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0083] Based on this, as an implementation method, when the UL Grant format corresponding to the UL Grant interpretation method is the first UL grant format or the second UL grant format, the step of the terminal determining the transmission beam during the initial transmission of Msg3 according to the first reference beam may include any one of the following (214)-(215).

[0084] (214) The terminal determines the transmission beam of Msg3 based on the receiving beam of Msg2, wherein Msg3 is a single transmission, or Msg3 is a multiple repeated transmission but using a single beam.

[0085] In other words, if Msg2 instructs Msg3 to be transmitted only once, or if the terminal determines, according to the protocol or the first system message configuration (e.g., the cell does not support repeated transmission of Msg3), that Msg3 will be repeatedly transmitted but using a single beam, then the terminal can determine the transmission beam of Msg3 based on the reception beam of Msg2. That is, the reception beam of Msg2 and the transmission beam of Msg3 have the same spatial domain filtering property.

[0086] (215) The terminal determines the first reference beam based on the value of RA-RNTI, and determines the transmit beam of Msg3 based on the first reference beam. The first reference beam includes the receive beam of Msg2 or the receive beam of SSB.

[0087] In other words, if the terminal determines the corresponding Msg1 or the SSB associated with the corresponding Msg1 based on the value of RA-RNTI, and uses the transmit beam of the Msg1 or the receive beam of the SSB as the transmit beam of Msg3. For example, if the terminal transmits N Msg1s, and the N Msg1s are associated with N different SSBs, then the terminal receives Msg2, and determines the corresponding Msg1 from the N Msg1s or one of the reference beams (the transmit beam of Msg1 or the receive beam of the SSB) from the N associated SSBs based on the value of RA-RNTI as the beam associated with the transmit beam of Msg3 PUSCH.

[0088] (22) The terminal determines the transmission beam for Msg3 retransmission based on the second reference beam. The second reference beam is determined by the terminal based on the first downlink control information or the protocol default rule. The first downlink control information includes DCI 0-0 scrambled by TC-RNTI.

[0089] When the terminal determines the second reference beam based on the first downlink control information, the first downlink control information may be sent to the terminal by the network-side device when the initial transmission of Msg3 fails to be scheduled through Msg2, so as to realize the scheduling of Msg3 retransmission and indicate the retransmission parameters of Msg3, such as the number of transmissions and / or the transmission beam.

[0090] In other words, after the initial transmission of Msg3, the terminal listens to the TC-RNTI scrambled DCI 0-0 to determine the transmission beam during Msg3 retransmission. For example, the terminal can determine the transmission beam during Msg3 retransmission through fields in DCI 0-0, such as the 5-bit MCS field, the 1-bit NDI field, the 4-bit Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request Process Number (HARQ process number) field, or some or a combination of the above fields can be used to indicate the transmission beam.

[0091] Alternatively, when the terminal determines the transmission beam for Msg3 retransmission using the first control information, it may maintain the same transmission beam as the initial Msg3 transmission and retransmit Msg3. However, the DCI 0-0 may additionally indicate the number of retransmissions of Msg3.

[0092] Alternatively, the terminal can change the transmission beam and retransmission count for Msg3 retransmissions. The retransmission count is indicated using the Rel-17 Msg3 retransmission count indication method, and the transmission beam for Msg3 retransmissions is indicated by one or more combinations of fields such as the 5-bit MCS field, the 1-bit NDI field, and the 4-bit HARQ process number field.

[0093] Of course, as one implementation, the second reference beam includes at least one of the following (221)-(224).

[0094] (221) The transmission beam of Msg1. For example, the transmission beam of Msg3 during retransmission can be the transmission beam of Msg1, but this embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0095] (222) The receiving beam of Msg2 or the first control information. For example, the transmitting beam during Msg3 retransmission can be the receiving beam of Msg2 or the first control information. This embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0096] (223) The receiving beam of the SSB, which is associated with the Msg1. For example, the transmitting beam of the Msg3 during retransmission can be the receiving beam of the SSB, but this embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0097] (224) The transmission beam during the initial transmission of Msg3. The transmission beam during the initial transmission of Msg3 can be determined according to the determination method given in (21) above, and will not be repeated here.

[0098] As another implementation, when the UL Grant format corresponding to the UL Grant interpretation method is a first UL grant format or a second UL grant format, the step of the terminal determining the transmission beam of Msg3 further includes: the terminal determining the transmission beam used for repeated transmission of Msg3 according to the transmission beam pattern; wherein the transmission beam pattern includes L transmission beams, and L is an integer greater than 1.

[0099] That is, if Msg2 instructs Msg3 to be transmitted repeatedly and Msg3 uses multiple transmission beams for repeated transmission, the terminal can determine the order of the multiple transmission beams when Msg3 is transmitted repeatedly before transmitting Msg3. The transmission beam pattern can be a fixed pattern that corresponds one-to-one with the transmission beam order of Msg1, or several candidate transmission beam patterns can be configured by system messages.

[0100] Optionally, the transmission beam pattern is a sequence of L transmission beams, where the number L can be equal to the number of transmission beams repeatedly transmitted by Msg1. That is, each transmission beam in the transmission beam pattern corresponds to a transmission beam of Msg1 or an SSB reception beam. Furthermore, the order of the transmission beams in the transmission beam pattern is the same as the order of the transmission beams repeatedly transmitted by Msg1.

[0101] In this embodiment, the transmission beam pattern can be implemented by protocol agreement, higher layer configuration, or network side configuration (such as through system messages), and there are no restrictions on this.

[0102] Based on this, in one implementation, when Msg3 is repeatedly transmitted, the transmission beam of the first Msg3 can be determined first, and then the transmission beam of each Msg3PUSCH can be determined cyclically according to the beam order in the transmission beam pattern. In this case, the step of the terminal determining the transmission beam for the repeated transmission of Msg3 according to the transmission beam pattern may include any one of the following (31)-(33):

[0103] (31) When L is greater than M, the terminal determines the M transmission beams when Msg3 is repeatedly transmitted, starting from the first beam in the transmission beam pattern. The first beam and its position in the transmission beam pattern are determined according to the receiving beam of Msg2 or the value of RA-RNTI.

[0104] Where M is the number of times Msg3 is sent, and L and M are both integers greater than or equal to 1.

[0105] For example, if the length of the transmission beam pattern is L and the number of Msg3 transmissions is M, where L>M, then the terminal determines the M transmission beams of Msg3 starting from the first beam of the transmission beam pattern.

[0106] Alternatively, if the length of the transmit beam pattern is L and the number of Msg3 transmissions is M, where L>M, the starting position of the transmit beam of Msg3 during its first transmission in the transmit beam pattern can be determined according to the protocol definition rules (the same as the receive beam of Msg2 or according to the RA-RNTI instruction). Then, based on the starting position of the transmit beam of Msg3 during its first transmission in the transmit beam pattern, the transmit beams of the subsequent M-1 retransmitted Msg3s can be determined.

[0107] (32) When L is equal to M, the terminal determines the transmission beams for M Msg3s starting from the first transmission beam in the transmission beam pattern, where the first transmission beam is the starting transmission beam when M Msg3s are repeatedly transmitted.

[0108] Here, M is the number of times Msg3 is transmitted, and both L and M are integers greater than or equal to 1.

[0109] Optionally, the starting transmission beam when Msg3 is repeatedly transmitted is determined according to the reception beam of Msg2 or the value of RA - RLTI.

[0110] Exemplarily, if the length of the transmission beam pattern is L, the number of times Msg3 is transmitted is M, and L = M, the transmission beams for M Msg3s are determined according to the transmission beam pattern. The starting transmission beam can be the first beam in the transmission beam pattern or a beam determined according to the protocol definition rule (the same as the reception beam of Msg2 or as indicated by RA - RNTI).

[0111] (33) When L is less than M, M transmission beams when Msg3 is repeatedly transmitted are determined from the transmission beam pattern in a cyclic manner; where M is the number of times Msg3 is transmitted, and both L and M are integers greater than or equal to 1.

[0112] Exemplarily, if the length of the transmission beam pattern is L and the number of times Msg3 is transmitted is M, and L < M, the transmission beams for Msg3 can be determined in a cyclic manner, that is, if the next transmission beam after the last transmission beam in the transmission beam pattern is the first transmission beam in the transmission beam pattern.

[0113] Optionally, in addition to the foregoing method, the M Msg3s transmitted continuously multiple times can also use the same transmission beam, such as the initial transmission beam, etc.

[0114] In one implementation, when the terminal determines the transmission beams when Msg3 is repeatedly transmitted based on the transmission beam pattern, it can further determine the order of the transmission beams when Msg3 is repeatedly transmitted according to the beam order in the transmission beam pattern. That is, the order of the transmission beams when Msg3 is repeatedly transmitted is determined according to the beam order in the transmission beam pattern.

[0115] For example, assuming that the repeatedly transmitted Msg1 is associated with a single SSB, then after the terminal repeatedly transmits Msg1, it only needs to determine the number of transmissions of Msg3, and does not need to determine the transmission beam of Msg3 PUSCH. The method by which the terminal determines the number of transmissions of Msg3 can refer to the relevant description of determining the number of transmissions in S410 above. To avoid repetition, it will not be repeated here.

[0116] In this embodiment, when the terminal repeatedly sends Msg1 for random access, it can determine the interpretation method of the UL grant in Msg2 and the transmission parameters of Msg3 through protocol agreement or dynamic indication. This not only enhances the coverage performance of uplink channels such as Msg1 and Msg3, but also ensures that the UL grant and DCI 0-0 overhead remain unchanged, ensuring that the transmission parameters of Msg3 are unambiguous on both the base station and the terminal, thereby ensuring the reliability of the random access process.

[0117] like Figure 4 The diagram shown illustrates a flowchart of a random access method 400 provided in an exemplary embodiment of this application. This method 400 can be executed by, but is not limited to, a terminal, specifically by hardware and / or software installed in the terminal. In this embodiment, the method 400 may include at least the following steps.

[0118] S410, the terminal receives second system information sent by the network-side device.

[0119] The second system information (System Information Block, SIB) may be the same as or different from the aforementioned first system message, and no restriction is imposed here.

[0120] In this embodiment, the second system information may include at least first configuration information and second configuration information. The first configuration information is used for the repeated transmission of Msg1, such as relevant information indicating the repeated transmission of Msg1. The second configuration information is used for the transmission of Msg3, such as relevant information indicating the repeated transmission of Msg1.

[0121] In one implementation, the first configuration information may include at least one of the following (41)-(44).

[0122] (41) Whether the transmission beam corresponding to Msg1 is a single beam or multiple beams. That is, the terminal can repeatedly transmit Msg1 based on a single transmission beam or based on multiple transmission beams.

[0123] (42) Whether Msg1 is associated with a single SSB or multiple SSBs. That is, when the terminal repeatedly transmits Msg1, whether it is associated with a single SSB or multiple SSBs.

[0124] (43) Whether the first cell supports repeated transmission of Msg3, wherein the first cell is the serving cell of the terminal.

[0125] (44) The interpretation of the UL grant.

[0126] For example, the second system message can instruct the terminal to interpret the UL grant in Msg2 using the first UL grant format, the second UL grant format, or the third UL grant format.

[0127] In addition, the second system message may also indicate whether to perform Msg1 repeated transmission, the candidate number set for the number of Msg3 transmissions, etc., wherein the candidate number set may be different from the candidate number set for Msg3 repeated transmissions defined in Rel-17.

[0128] The second configuration information includes at least one of the following (51)-(52).

[0129] (51) Whether the transmitting beam corresponding to Msg3 is a single beam or multiple beams.

[0130] (52) The transmission beam pattern corresponding to Msg3.

[0131] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, in addition to indicating the aforementioned first configuration information and second configuration information through the second system message, as a possible implementation, the first configuration information and / or the second configuration information can also be implemented through protocol agreement or terminal default, etc.

[0132] For example, assuming that the first configuration information does not include information on whether the first cell supports repeated transmission of Msg3, the terminal can determine whether the first cell supports repeated transmission of Msg3 by default or according to the protocol agreement.

[0133] S420, the terminal determines the predetermined information based on the first configuration information and / or the second configuration information.

[0134] The predetermined information includes at least one of the following (61)-(63).

[0135] (61) Whether the first cell supports repeated transmission of Msg1, wherein the first cell is the serving cell of the terminal.

[0136] In one implementation, if the terminal determines that the first cell supports repeated transmission of Msg1, it can perform random access based on repeated transmission of Msg1.

[0137] (62) Does the first cell support repeated transmission of Msg3?

[0138] (63) The relevant parameters when Msg3 is repeatedly sent; in one implementation, the relevant parameters when Msg3 is repeatedly sent include at least one of the following (631)-(635).

[0139] (631) A first set, which includes at least one Msg1 time-frequency resource set.

[0143] (635) Power ramping step value.

[0145] S440, the terminal determines the transmission parameters for Msg3.

[0146] The transmission parameters include the number of transmissions and / or the transmission beam.

[0147] It is understood that the implementation process of S430 and S440 can refer to the relevant descriptions in method embodiments 200 and / or 300, and achieve the same or corresponding technical effects. To avoid repetition, they will not be described again here.

[0148] like Figure 5 The diagram shown illustrates a flowchart of a random access method 500 provided in an exemplary embodiment of this application.

The Msg2 message is related to the determination of the transmission parameters of the third message Msg3. For example, Msg2 may indicate the transmission parameters of Msg3, the interpretation method of the UL grant in Msg2, the value of RA-RNTI, etc., so that the terminal can determine the transmission parameters of Msg3 based on one or more of the transmission parameters of Msg3 indicated by Msg2, the interpretation method of the UL grant in Msg2, and the value of RA-RNTI.
