Wearable devices include: smart watches, smart bracelets, smart headphones, smart glasses, smart jewelry (smart bracelets, smart bracelets, smart rings, smart necklaces, smart anklets, smart anklets, etc.), smart wristbands, smart clothing, etc. Among them, the vehicle-mounted device can also be called a vehicle-mounted terminal, a vehicle-mounted controller, a vehicle-mounted module, a vehicle-mounted component, a vehicle-mounted chip or a vehicle-mounted unit, etc. It should be noted that the specific type of the terminal 11 is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0026] The network side device 12 may include an access network device or a core network device, wherein the access network device may also be referred to as a radio access network (RAN) device, a radio access network function or a radio access network unit. The access network device may include a base station, a wireless local area network (WLAN) access point (AP) or a wireless fidelity (WiFi) node, etc. Among them, the base station may be referred to as a Node B (NodeB, NB), an evolved Node B (Evolved Node B, eNB), a next generation Node B (the next generation Node B, gNB), a New Radio Node B (New Radio Node B, NR Node B), an access point, a Relay Base Station (RBS), a Serving Base Station (SBS), a Base Transceiver Station (Base Transceiver Station, BTS), a radio base station, a radio transceiver, a Basic Service Set (Basic Service Set, BSS), an Extended Service Set (Extended Service Set, ESS), a home Node B (home evolved Node B, HNB), a home evolved Node B (home evolved Node B), a Transmission Reception Point (Transmission Reception Point, TRP) or other appropriate terms in the relevant field. As long as the same technical effect is achieved, the base station is not limited to specific technical vocabulary. It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, only the base station in the NR system is used as an example for introduction, and the specific type of the base station is not limited.

[0027] The core network equipment may include but is not limited to at least one of the following: core network node, core network function, mobility management entity (Mobility Management Entity, MME), access mobility management function (Access and Mobility Management Function, AMF), session management function (Session Management Function, SMF), user plane function (User Plane Function, UPF), policy control function (Policy Control Function, PCF), policy and charging rules function unit (Policy and Charging Rules Function, PCRF), edge application service discovery function (Edge Application Server Discovery Function, EASDF), unified data management (Unified Data Management, UDM), unified data storage (Unified Data Repository, UDR), home user server (Home Subscriber Server, HSS), centralized network configuration (CNC), network storage function (Network Repository Function, NRF), network exposure function (Network Exposure Function, NEF), local NEF (Local NEF, or L-NEF), binding support function (Binding Support Function, BSF), application function (Application Function, AF), etc. It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, only the core network device in the NR system is introduced as an example, and the specific type of the core network device is not limited.

[0028] In some embodiments, the network side may allocate specific message 1 (msg1) (for a four-step random access process) or message A (msgA) (for a two-step random access process) random access resources for random access channel (RACH) processes associated with different characteristics. So that when the network side receives msg1 or msgA, it can know some characteristics of the random access according to the resources corresponding to the msg1 or msgA message, and perform corresponding operations: for example, when generating and sending message 2 (msg2) and message B (msgB), the relevant information is considered.

[0029] In some embodiments, for eRedCap, when the eRedCap-specific Msg1early indication is not configured with associated RACH msg1 resources but the RedCap-specific Msg1early indication is configured with associated RACH msg1 resources, the eRedCap terminal shares the Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) resources of the RedCap terminal. And if the network configures RedCap specific msgA resources, the eRedCap UE will share the RedCap specific msgA resources.

[0030] Therefore, when the eRedCap terminal initiates RACH, the available resources include at least one of the following:

[0031] The resource set of msg1 associated with the eRedCap feature (used for four-step random access);

[0032] The resource set of msg1 is associated with the RedCap feature (used for four-step random access);

[0033] The resource set of msgA associated with the RedCap feature (used for two-step random access);

[0034] A msg1 or msgA resource set that is not associated with either eRedCap or RedCap.

[0035] In some embodiments, the network side may allocate specific msg1 (for four-step random access process) or msgA (for two-step random access process) random access resources for RACH processes associated with small data transmission (SDT) / RedCap / coverage enhancement (CovEnh) / Slicing. The above msg1 or msgA random access resources are associated with one or more feature combinations in the above embodiments.

[0036] For example: If the random access process initiated by the terminal is associated with SDT and RedCap, and the random access process is not associated with CovEnh (such as a RACH process triggered by an SDT process initiated by a RedCap terminal), the RACH resource selection of the terminal is illustrated as follows:

[0037] If the network configuration random access resources include one or more of the following four types:

[0038] A. msg1 or msgA resource set for the combination of SDT and RedCap features;

[0039] B. msg1 or msgA resource set applicable to RedCap features;

[0040] C. msg1 or msgA resource set for SDT and RedCap features;

[0041] D. msg1 or msgA resource set applicable to SDT and RedCap and CovEnh feature combination;

[0042] E. A set of msg1 or msgA resources that are not associated with any feature;

[0043] The behavior of the terminal may include at least one of the following:

[0044] If the random access resources configured by the network include A: the terminal selects the random access resource set configured in A for random access;

[0045] If the random access resource configured by the network includes D: the terminal does not select the random access resource set configured in D for random access; because this RACH is irrelevant to CovEnh, selecting the random access resource configured in D will cause misunderstanding in the network;

[0046] If the random access resources configured by the network do not include A, but include B and / or C: the terminal selects the random access resource set configured in B or C for random access; if the random access resources configured by the network include both B and C, the specific selection of B or C depends on other network configurations.

[0047] If the random access resources configured by the network do not include any of A / B / C: the UE selects the random access resource set configured in E for random access.

[0048] The selection of the random access resource set requires a process such as determining the availability of the random access resource set and selecting the random access resource set based on feature priority.

[0049] For example, the msg1 or msgA resource applicable to the combination of SDT and RedCap characteristics is a random access resource set, which specifically includes a time-frequency position of a random access opportunity (RACH Occasion, RO) and a set of preambles.

[0050] For example: the process of selecting a random access resource set based on the priority of at least one characteristic among SDT, RedCap, CovEnh, Slicing, etc.

[0051] When the random access resource set selected by the terminal includes both msg1 and msgA resources, other mechanisms may be used to select between the two.

[0052] For msg1 or msgA resources in a resource set, the network configures its applicable scope through the following information elements (IE):

[0053]

[0054]

[0055] Among them, redCap-r17 is set to true (when redCap-r17 IE is carried, it is equivalent to being set to true) indicating that the corresponding RACH resources are only used for redCap;

[0056] Similarly, smallData-r17 is set to true to indicate that the corresponding RACH resources are used only for SDT;

[0057] If redCap-r17 and smallData-r17 are carried at the same time, and the others are not carried, it means that the corresponding RACH resource is only used for the combination of redCap and smallData. All initiated RACHs, if redCap and smallData are associated at the same time (and may also be associated with other third characteristics), can use the corresponding RACH resource.

[0058] In some embodiments, eRedCap can use one of spare1-4 above.

[0059] It should be noted that the above IE is only an example, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit the configuration of resources.

[0060] In some embodiments, the cost and complexity of devices with reduced capability (RedCap) will be further reduced. One of the methods is to reduce the bandwidth of the terminal to support only 5 MHz bandwidth.

[0061] For example, considering the impact on the network, the coexistence of RedCap (which may include RedCap corresponding to multiple protocol versions) and non-RedCap terminals in the cell, the impact on terminals or the impact on regulations, potential solutions that can complement each other to reduce equipment complexity are as follows:

[0062] The terminal bandwidth is reduced to 5 MHz in frequency range (FR) 1, in which case it may be combined with relaxed terminal processing time for physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) and / or physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) or channel state information (CSI);

[0063] Alternatively, the terminal peak data rate in FR1 may be reduced, in which case this may include restriction of PDSCH / or PUSCH allocated bandwidth, or may be combined with a relaxed terminal processing timeline for PDSCH or PUSCH or CSI.

[0064] It should be noted that the above embodiment can also be applied to FR2.

[0065] In some embodiments, there are three main options for further reducing the bandwidth (Band Width, BW) of the RedCap terminal to 5 MHz.

[0066] Option BW1: The radio frequency (RF) and baseband (BB) bandwidths are both 5MHz for both uplink (UL) and downlink (DL). The feature is that the RF is tuned to the 5MHz BW of interest. If the position of the 5MHz BW of the RF changes, the RF needs to be re-tuned.

[0067] Option BW2: The baseband bandwidth is 5MHz and is used for all signals and channels, and the RF bandwidth remains 20MHz and is used for uplink (UL) and downlink (DL). Its characteristics are: the BW of ADC / FFT is the same as the RF BW, which makes it easier to change the location of the 5MHzBW of interest in the digital domain, and there is no need to readjust the RF compared to BW1.

[0068] Option BW3: The baseband bandwidth of 5MHz is only used for PDSCH (unicast and broadcast) and PUSCH, and the RF bandwidth of 20MHz is used for UL and DL. In addition to the above-mentioned PDSCH and PUSCH, other physical channels such as Synchronization Signal Block (SSB), Physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), PRACH, Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) and reference signals (CSI-RS, SRS, etc.) are still allowed to use 20MHz as the maximum RF bandwidth. Its characteristics are: the control channel can transmit a bandwidth exceeding 20MHz, and the buffer of the control channel is 20MHz, such as the cost savings for the Post Fast Fourier Transform (Post-FFT) data buffer and the receiver processing block are less. However, it is more flexible in the resource configuration and allocation / scheduling of channels and signals.

[0069] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application, and do not limit the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application.

[0070] The following, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, describes in detail the random access resource set determination method, device and terminal provided in the embodiments of the present application through some embodiments and their application scenarios.

[0071] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 is a flowchart of a random access resource set determination method provided in an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0072] Step 201: The terminal performs an availability determination operation on a random access resource set, wherein the availability determination operation includes:

[0073] Based on whether the random access resource set is associated with at least one of eRedCap and RedCap, a random access procedure is determined in which the random access resource set is unavailable.

[0074] The random access resource set may be any random access resource set corresponding to the terminal, that is, the terminal may perform step 201 for each random access resource set.

[0075] The above-mentioned availability determination operation may also be referred to as the usability determination operation.

[0076] The random access process of determining that the random access resource set is unavailable based on whether the random access resource set is associated with at least one of eRedCap and RedCap includes the following three methods:

[0077] The random access process of determining that the random access resource set is unavailable based on whether the random access resource set is associated with eRedCap;

[0078] Based on whether the random access resource set is associated with RedCap, determining a random access process in which the random access resource set is unavailable;

[0079] Based on whether the random access resource set is associated with eRedCap and RedCap, a random access procedure is determined in which the random access resource set is unavailable.

[0080] In some implementations, the eRedCap indication corresponding to the random access resource set is true, indicating that the random access resource set is associated with the eRedCap, otherwise, the random access resource set is not associated with the eRedCap.

[0081] The eRedCap indication corresponding to the above-mentioned random access resource set being true may be that the configuration corresponding to the random access resource set carries the eRedCap indication, or the configuration corresponding to the random access resource set carries the eRedCap true indication.

[0082] In some embodiments, the configuration corresponding to the random access resource set can be indicated by eRedCap through 1 bit, such as the first value (1 or 0) indicates that the eRedCap indication is carried, and the second value (0 or 1) indicates that the eRedCap indication is not carried.

[0083] In some embodiments, associating the random access resource set with eRedCap may indicate that the resource set is only available to eRedCap terminals.

[0084] In some implementations, the RedCap indication corresponding to the random access resource set is true, indicating that the random access resource set is associated with the RedCap, otherwise, the random access resource set is not associated with the RedCap.

[0085] The RedCap indication corresponding to the above-mentioned random access resource set being true may be that the configuration corresponding to the random access resource set carries the RedCap indication, or the configuration corresponding to the random access resource set carries the RedCap true indication.

[0086] In some embodiments, the configuration corresponding to the random access resource set can be indicated by RedCap through 1 bit, such as a first value (1 or 0) indicates that the RedCap indication is carried, and a second value (0 or 1) indicates that the RedCap indication is not carried.

[0087] In some implementations, the configuration corresponding to the random access resource set may be a configuration sent by a network-side device received by the terminal.

[0088] It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application do not limit the specific implementation methods for determining whether the random access resource set is associated with eRedCap and RedCap. For example, it can be through the above-mentioned eRedCap indication and RedCap indication, or other configuration methods can be used to indicate whether the random access resource set is associated with eRedCap and RedCap.

[0089] In some embodiments, the random access process for determining that the random access resource set is unavailable may also enable the terminal to determine that random access processes other than the unavailable random access process are available, such as all or part of the random access processes other than the default unavailable random access process are available, or random access processes pre-defined in the protocol other than the default unavailable random access process are available.

[0090] In some implementations, the above step 201 may be performed by a medium access control (Medium Access Control) entity of the terminal.

[0091] In an embodiment of the present application, the terminal performs an availability determination operation for a random access resource set, wherein the availability determination operation includes: determining a random access process in which the random access resource set is unavailable based on whether the random access resource set is associated with at least one of eRedCap and RedCap. Determine a random access process in which the random access resource set is unavailable based on whether the random access resource set is associated with at least one of eRedCap and RedCap, thereby avoiding the terminal from initiating an unavailable random access process in the random access resource set, causing the terminal to easily fail random access, thereby improving the random access performance of the terminal. For example, the success rate of random access of the terminal can be improved, and the power consumption of the terminal for the random process can be saved, so that the random access performance of the terminal is improved.

[0092] As an optional implementation, the method further includes:

[0093] For the random access resources in the random access resource set, an available random access procedure is performed, wherein the available random access procedure does not include the unavailable random access procedure, specifically a random access procedure other than the unavailable random access procedure.

[0094] As an optional implementation manner, the random access resource set includes:

[0095] Any random access resource set among the random access resource sets indicated to the terminal.

[0096] The random access resource set indicated to the terminal is a random access resource set indicated by the network side to the terminal, and may specifically include one or more random access resource sets.

[0097] In this implementation manner, since the terminal is indicated with any random access resource set in the random access resource set, it is possible to implement the availability determination operation in the above step for each random access resource set.

[0098] As an optional implementation manner, the random access resource set includes at least one of the following:

[0099] A resource set containing only four-step random access resources, a resource set containing only two-step random access resources, and a resource set containing both four-step random access resources and two-step random access resources.

[0100] In this implementation, corresponding availability determination operations can be performed for the above three random access resource sets, thereby further improving the random access performance of the terminal.

[0101] It should be noted that, in the following implementation manner, if the type of the random access resource set is not clearly defined, it is assumed that the above three types of random access resource sets are applicable, and no further details are given below.

[0102] As an optional implementation manner, the random access process of determining that the random access resource set is unavailable based on whether the random access resource set is associated with at least one of eRedCap and RedCap includes at least one of the following:

[0103] In a case where the random access resource set is associated with eRedCap, the random access process for determining that the random access resource set is unavailable includes: a random access process that is not applied to eRedCap.

[0104] Among them, the above random access process that is not applicable to eRedCap can be understood as the terminal that currently initiates the random access process is not an eRedCap terminal.

[0105] In this implementation, it is possible to associate the random access resource set with eRedCap, and determine that the random access process for which the random access resource set is unavailable includes a random access process that is not applied to eRedCap, so that the terminal adopts the random access process applied to eRedCap to improve the reliability of the terminal's random access.

[0106] As an optional implementation manner, the terminal is an eRedCap terminal, and the method further includes at least one of the following:

[0107] In the case where the random access resource set is not associated with an eRedCap, the terminal regards the terminal as a RedCap terminal and performs at least one of the following:

[0108] An availability determination operation is performed on the random access resource set; and a random access resource set is selected based on a priority of characteristics.

[0109] The above-mentioned terminal being regarded as a RedCap terminal may mean that the eRedCap terminal regards itself as a RedCap terminal to execute at least one of the above-mentioned items, or, the above-mentioned terminal being regarded as a RedCap terminal means that the eRedCap terminal regards RedCap as RedCap.

[0110] The terminal being regarded as a RedCap terminal and performing at least one of the above items may be that the terminal is regarded as a RedCap terminal in the process of performing an availability determination operation on the random access resource set or selecting a random access resource set based on a priority of characteristics.

[0111] The random access resource set execution availability determination operation may be the availability determination operation in step 201, or may be other availability determination operations defined by the protocol.

[0112] The above-mentioned feature-based priority selection of random access resource sets may be a feature-based priority selection of random access resource sets process defined by a protocol.

[0113] In this implementation manner, since the terminal is regarded as a RedCap terminal and an availability determination operation is performed on the random access resource set or a random access resource set is selected based on a priority of characteristics, the random access performance of the eRedCap terminal can be improved.

[0114] As an optional implementation manner, the terminal is an eRedCap terminal, and when the random access resource set is not associated with eRedCap, the random access process of determining that the random access resource set is unavailable based on whether the random access resource set is associated with at least one of eRedCap and RedCap includes at least one of the following:

[0115] In the case where the random access resource set is associated with RedCap and the random access resource set includes four-step random access resources, the random access process for determining that the random access resource set is unavailable includes: a random access process that is not applied to eRedCap;

[0116] In the case where the random access resource set is associated with RedCap and the random access resource set only includes two-step random access resources, the random access process for determining that the random access resource set is unavailable includes: a random access process that is not applied to eRedCap;

[0117] When the random access resource set is associated with RedCap and the random access resource set only includes two-step random access resources, the random access process for determining that the random access resource set is unavailable includes: a random access process that is not applied to eRedCap and a random access process that is not applied to RedCap.

[0118] The above-mentioned random access resource set includes four-step random access resources, which means that the random access resource set only includes four-step random access resources, or the random access resource set includes four-step random access resources and two-step random access resources.

[0119] In this implementation, when a random access resource set is associated with RedCap, it can be achieved that unavailable random access procedures are determined for a random access resource set including four-step random access resources or two-step random access resources, including random access procedures that are not applied to eRedCap, thereby improving the random access performance of the eRedCap terminal.

[0120] Optionally, when the random access resource set is associated with RedCap and the random access resource set only includes two-step random access resources, the random access process for determining that the random access resource set is unavailable includes: a random access process that is not applied to eRedCap, including:

[0121] In the case where the random access resource set is associated with RedCap, and the random access resource set only includes two-step random access resources, and the two-step random access resources meet the first condition, the random access process for determining that the random access resource set is unavailable includes: a random access process that is not applied to eRedCap;

[0122] or,

[0123] In a case where the random access resource set is associated with RedCap and the random access resource set only includes two-step random access resources, the random access process for determining that the random access resource set is unavailable includes: a random access process that is not applied to eRedCap and a random access process that is not applied to RedCap, including:

[0124] When the random access resource set is associated with RedCap, and the random access resource set only includes two-step random access resources, and the two-step random access resources meet the first condition, the random access process for determining that the random access resource set is unavailable includes: a random access process that is not applied to eRedCap and a random access process that is not applied to RedCap;

[0125] The first condition includes: part or all of the time-frequency resources for sending message A of the two-step random access resource do not exceed the capability of the terminal.

[0126] Among them, the above-mentioned first condition can be a condition agreed upon in the protocol or configured on the network side.

[0127] That part or all of the sending time-frequency resources of message A of the two-step random access resources do not exceed the capability of the terminal can be understood as that part or all of the sending time-frequency resources of message A of the two-step random access resources do not exceed the capability of the above-mentioned terminal.

[0128] In this implementation manner, the first condition described above can make the random access process of determining that the random access resource set is unavailable more accurate, so as to further improve the random access performance of the terminal.

[0129] As an optional implementation manner, the random access process of determining that the random access resource set is unavailable based on whether the random access resource set is associated with at least one of eRedCap and RedCap includes at least one of the following:

[0130] In the case where none of the random access resource sets including four-step random access resources indicated by the terminal is associated with eRedCap, and the random access resource set is associated with RedCap, and the random access resource set includes four-step random access resources, the random access procedure for determining that the random access resource set is unavailable includes: a random access procedure not applied to eRedCap or RedCap;

[0131] When the random access resource set containing four-step random access resources indicated by the terminal is not associated with eRedCap, and the random access resource set is associated with RedCap, and the random access resource set only contains two-step random access resources, the random access process for determining that the random access resource set is unavailable includes: a random access process that is not applied to eRedCap or RedCap.

[0132] The random access resource set including four-step random access resources indicated to the terminal may be all random access resource sets including four-step random access resources indicated to the terminal.

[0133] The above random access process not being applied to RedCap can be understood as the terminal currently initiating the random access process is not a RedCap terminal.

[0134] In this implementation manner, the random access resource set refers to the random access resource set in step 201.

[0135] The above-mentioned random access procedure that is not applied to eRedCap or RedCap means the random access procedure that is not applied to eRedCap, or the random access procedure that is not applied to RedCap.

[0136] In this implementation, when the random access resource set indicated by the terminal containing four-step random access resources is not associated with eRedCap, and when the above-mentioned random access resource set is associated with RedCap and the random access resource set contains four-step random access resources, the random access process for determining that the random access resource set is unavailable includes a random access process that is not applied to eRedCap or RedCap, thereby improving the random access performance of the terminal.

[0137] In this implementation, it can be achieved that when the random access resource set containing four-step random access resources indicated by the terminal is not associated with eRedCap, and when the above-mentioned random access resource set is associated with RedCap and the random access resource set only contains two-step random access resources, and the two-step random access resources meet the second condition, the random access process that determines that the above-mentioned random access resource set is unavailable includes a random access process that is not applied to eRedCap or RedCap, thereby improving the random access performance of the terminal.

[0138] Optionally, the random access resource set including four-step random access resources indicated by the terminal is not associated with eRedCap, and the random access resource set is associated with RedCap, and the random access resource set only includes two-step random access resources, and the random access process for determining that the random access resource set is unavailable includes: a random access process that is not applied to eRedCap or RedCap, including:

[0139] When the random access resource set containing four-step random access resources indicated by the terminal is not associated with eRedCap, and the random access resource set is associated with RedCap, and the random access resource set only contains two-step random access resources, and the two-step random access resources meet the second condition, the random access process for determining that the random access resource set is unavailable includes: a random access process that is not applied to eRedCap or RedCap; wherein the second condition includes that part or all of the sending time-frequency resources of message A of the two-step random access resources do not exceed the capability of the terminal.

[0140] The second condition may be a condition agreed upon in the protocol or configured on the network side.

[0141] In this implementation manner, the second condition described above can make the random access process of determining that the random access resource set is unavailable more accurate, so as to further improve the random access performance of the terminal.

[0142] As an optional implementation manner, the random access process of determining that the random access resource set is unavailable based on whether the random access resource set is associated with at least one of eRedCap and RedCap includes at least one of the following:

[0143] In the case where the random access resource set is associated with RedCap and the random access resource set includes four-step random access resources, the random access process for determining that the random access resource set is unavailable includes: a random access process that is not applied to eRedCap or RedCap;

[0144] In a case where the random access resource set is associated with RedCap and the random access resource set only includes two-step random access resources, the random access process for determining that the random access resource set is unavailable includes: a random access process that is not applied to eRedCap or RedCap.

[0145] In this implementation, it is possible to associate the random access resource set with RedCap for the resource set determination of four-step random access resources or two-step random access resources, and determine that the unavailable random access process includes the random access process that is not applied to eRedCap or RedCap, thereby improving the random access performance of the terminal.

[0146] Optionally, when the random access resource set is associated with RedCap and the random access resource set only includes two-step random access resources, the random access process for determining that the random access resource set is unavailable includes: a random access process that is not applied to eRedCap or RedCap, including:

[0147] When the random access resource set is associated with RedCap, and the random access resource set only contains two-step random access resources, and the two-step random access resources meet the third condition, the random access process for determining that the random access resource set is unavailable includes: a random access process that is not applied to eRedCap or RedCap; wherein the third condition includes that part or all of the sending time-frequency resources of message A of the two-step random access resource do not exceed the capabilities of the terminal.

[0148] Among them, the above-mentioned third condition can be a condition agreed upon in the protocol or configured on the network side.

[0149] In this implementation manner, the third condition described above can make the random access process of determining that the random access resource set is unavailable more accurate, so as to further improve the random access performance of the terminal.

[0150] As an optional implementation manner, the random access process of determining that the random access resource set is unavailable based on whether the random access resource set is associated with at least one of eRedCap and RedCap includes at least one of the following:

[0151] In the case where the random access resource set is associated with RedCap and the random access resource set includes four-step random access resources, the random access process for determining that the random access resource set is unavailable includes: a random access process that is not applied to eRedCap or RedCap;

[0152] In the case where the random access resource set is associated with RedCap and the random access resource set only includes two-step random access resources, the random access process for determining that the random access resource set is unavailable includes: a random access process not applied to eRedCap or RedCap

[0153] In this implementation, the random access resource set may be implemented as a resource set including only two-step random access resources or four-step random access resources, and an unavailable random access process may be determined, thereby improving the random access performance of the terminal.

[0154] Optionally, when the random access resource set is associated with RedCap and the random access resource set only includes two-step random access resources, the random access process for determining that the random access resource set is unavailable includes: a random access process that is not applied to eRedCap or RedCap, including:

[0155] When the random access resource set is associated with RedCap, and the random access resource set only contains two-step random access resources, and the two-step random access resources meet the fourth condition, the random access process for determining that the random access resource set is unavailable includes: a random access process that is not applied to eRedCap or RedCap; wherein the fourth condition includes that part or all of the sending time-frequency resources of message A of the two-step random access resource do not exceed the capabilities of the terminal.

[0156] Among them, the above-mentioned fourth condition may be a condition agreed upon in the protocol or configured on the network side.

[0157] In this implementation manner, the fourth condition described above can make the random access process of determining that the random access resource set is unavailable more accurate, so as to further improve the random access performance of the terminal.

[0158] As an optional implementation, the method further includes:

[0159] Determine the random access process available for the random access resource set based on whether the random access resource set is associated with at least one of eRedCap and RedCap.

[0160] For example, when the random access resource set is associated with eRedCap, determining the random access process available for the random access resource set includes: a random access process applied to eRedCap;

[0161] In case of a RedCap associated with the random access resource set, determining a random access procedure available for the random access resource set includes: a random access procedure applied to the RedCap.

[0162] In an embodiment of the present application, the terminal performs an availability determination operation for a random access resource set, wherein the availability determination operation includes: determining a random access process in which the random access resource set is unavailable based on whether the random access resource set is associated with at least one of eRedCap and RedCap. Determine a random access process in which the random access resource set is unavailable based on whether the random access resource set is associated with at least one of eRedCap and RedCap, thereby avoiding the terminal from initiating an unavailable random access process in the random access resource set, causing the terminal to easily fail in random access, thereby improving the random access performance of the terminal.

[0163] The following is an example of the method provided in the embodiment of the present application through multiple embodiments:

[0164] Embodiment 1: This embodiment mainly describes the availability of a random access resource set, which is as follows:

[0165] Step 1: The MAC entity of the terminal shall make the following availability determination for each resource set configured with four-step random access resources.

[0166] Step 1-1: For a random access resource set, if eRedCap is set to true, the UE considers that the random access resource set is not available for a random access process that is not applied to eRedCap; otherwise, in the subsequent steps of the random access resource set availability determination process and the process of selecting the random access resource set based on feature priority, the UE regards eRedCap as RedCap, that is, if the resource set is not available for eRedCap, at this time, the eRedCap terminal will regard itself as a RedCap terminal and share those resource sets that can be used for RedCap terminals.

[0167] Step 2: The MAC entity of the eRedCap terminal shall make the following availability determination for each resource set configured with four-step random access resources or each resource set configured with two-step random access resources, as follows:

[0168] The MAC entity shall make the following availability determination for each set of configured Random Access resources for 4-step RA type:

[0171] 1>Others:

[0172] 2>Consider eRedCap act as RedCap in the following procedure in clause 5.1.1cand 5.1.1d. in the protocol definition (5.1.1c and 5.1.1d).

[0173] The MAC entity shall for each set of configuredRandom Access resources for 4-step RA type and for each set of configuredRandom Access resources for 2-step RA type:

[0174] 1> For a random access resource set, if redCap is set to true (if redCap is set to true for a set of Random Access resources):

[0175] 2>consider the set of Random Access resources as not available for a Random Access procedure for which RedCap is not applicable.

[0176] 1> For a random access resource set, if smallData is set to true (if smallData is set to true for a set of Random Access resources:):

[0177] 2> consider the set of Random Access resources as not available for the Random Access procedure which is not triggered for SDT.

[0178] 1> For a random access resource set, if the network slice access layer group (network slice asgroup, NSAG) list is configured (if NSAG-List is configured for a set of Random Accessresources):

[0179] 2>consider the set of Random Access resources as not available for the Random Access procedure unless it istriggered for any one of the NSAG-ID(s)in the NSAG-List.

[0180] 1> For a random access resource set, if msg3-Repetition is set to true (if msg3-Repetition is set to true for a set of Random Access resources):

[0181] 2>consider the set of Random Access resources as not available for the RandomAccess procedure if Msg3 repetition is not applicable.

[0182] 1> For a set of RandomAccess resources, if no feature combination is configured (if a set of RandomAccess resources is not configured with FeatureCombination):

[0183] 2> consider the set of RandomAccess resources to not associated with any feature.

[0184] Embodiment 2:

[0185] This embodiment mainly describes the availability of a random access resource set, which is as follows:

[0186] Step 1: The MAC entity of the terminal shall make the following availability determination for each resource set configured with four-step random access resources.

[0187] Step 1-1: For a random access resource set, if eRedCap is set to true, the UE considers that the random access resource set is not applicable for a random access procedure that does not apply to eRedCap.

[0188] Step 2: The MAC entity of the eRedCap terminal shall make the following availability determination for each resource set configured with four-step random access resources and / or each resource set configured with two-step random access resources.

[0189] Step 2-1: For a resource set configured with two-step random access resources, if RedCap is set to true:

[0190] Step 2-1-1: The UE considers that the random access resource set is not available for a random access procedure that is not applied to RedCap.

[0191] Step 2-2:

[0192] For a resource set configured with four-step random access resources, if RedCap is set to true:

[0193] Step 2-2-1: The UE considers that the random access resource set is not applicable to a random access procedure that is not applicable to eRedCap or RedCap.

[0194] The rest of the process is described in the protocol definition and will not be described here.

[0195] For example, the MAC entity shall make the following availability determination for each set of configured Random Access resources for 4-step RA type:

[0196] 1> For a random access resource set, if eRedCap is set to true (if eRedCap is set to true for a set of Random Access resources):

[0197] 2>consider the set of Random Access resources as not available for a RandomAccess procedure for which eRedCap is not applicable.

[0198] The MAC entity shall for each set of configured Random Access resources for 4-step RA type and for each set of configured Random Access resources for 2-step RA type:

[0202] 2>consider the set of Random Access resources as not available for a Random Access procedure for which (e)RedCap is not applicable.

[0203] Among them, if redCap is set to true for a random access resource set of a four-step random access type, it can be understood that eRedCap is not set to true. For example, a feature combination should not set both redCap and eRedCap to true.

[0204] 1> For a random access resource set, if smallData is set to true (if smallData is set to true for a set of Random Access resources):

[0205] 2> consider the set of Random Access resources as not available for the Random Access procedure which is not triggered for SDT.

[0213] Step 1: The MAC entity of the terminal shall make the following availability determination for each resource set configured with four-step random access resources and / or each resource set configured with two-step random access resources.

[0214] Step 1-1: For a random access resource set, if eRedCap is set to true, the terminal considers that the random access resource set is not applicable to a random access procedure that does not apply to eRedCap; otherwise, the eRedCap terminal considers that the random access resource set with RedCap set to true (if any) is not applicable to a random access procedure that does not apply to eRedCap.

[0215] Step 2: The MAC entity of the eRedCap terminal shall perform the following availability judgment for each resource set configured with four-step random access resources and each resource set configured with two-step random access resources. The specific content of this step is defined in the protocol and will not be described again.

[0219] 1>Others:

[0220] 2>For eRedCap, consider the set of RandomAccess resources where redcap is set to true, if any, as not available for a Random Access procedure for which eRedCap is not applicable.

[0221] The MAC entity shall for each set of configuredRandom Access resources for 4-step RA type and for each set of configuredRandom Access resources for 2-step RA type:

[0223] 2>consider the set of Random Access resources as not available for a Random Access procedure for which RedCap is not applicable.

[0224] 1>For a random access resource set, if smallData is set to true (if smallData is set to true for a set of Random Access resources):

[0225] 2> consider the set of Random Access resources as not available for the Random Access procedure which is not triggered for SDT.

[0226] 1> For a random access resource set, if the network slice access layer group (NSAG) list is configured (consider the set of Random Access resources as notavailable for the Random Access procedure which is not triggered for SDT):

[0227] 2> consider the set of Random Access resources as not available for the Random Access procedure unless it istriggered for any one of the NSAG-ID(s)in the NSAG-List.

[0228] 1> For a random access resource set, if msg3-Repetition is set to true (if msg3-Repetition is set to true for a set of Random Access resources):

[0231] 2> consider the set of RandomAccess resources to not associated with any feature.

[0232] Embodiment 4:

[0233] This embodiment mainly describes the availability of a random access resource set, which is as follows:

[0234] Step 1: The MAC entity of the RedCap terminal shall make the following availability determination for each resource set configured with four-step random access resources or each resource set configured with two-step random access resources.

[0235] Step 1-1: For a resource set configured with four-step random access resources, if eRedCap is set to true, the terminal considers that the random access resource set is not applicable for a random access process that does not apply to eRedCap.

[0236] Step 1-2: For a random access resource set configured with two-step random access resources, if RedCap is set to true,

[0237] Step 1-2-1: The terminal considers that the random access resource set is not applicable to a random access process that is not applied to RedCap.

[0238] Step 1-3: For a random access resource set configured with four-step random access resources, if RedCap is set to true,

[0239] Step 1-3-1: The terminal considers that the random access resource set is not applicable to a random access process that is not applicable to RedCap or eRedCap.

[0240] The remaining steps can be found in the protocol definition and will not be described here.

[0241] For example:

[0242] The MAC entity shall make the following availability determination for each set of configured Random Access resources for 4-step RA type and for each set of configured Random Access resources for 2-step RA type:

[0243] 1> For a random access resource set for four-step random access, if eRedCap is set to true (if eRedCapis set to true for a set of Random Access resources for 4-step RA type):

[0244] 2>consider the set of Random Access resources as not available for a RandomAccess procedure for which eRedCap is not applicable.

[0245] 1> For a random access resource set for two-step random access, if eRedCap is set to true (if redCapis set to true for a set of Random Access resources for 2-step RA type):

[0248] 2>consider the set of Random Access resources as not available for a Random Access procedure for which (e)RedCap is not applicable.

[0249] Among them, for a random access resource set of a four-step random access type, if redCap is set to true, it can be understood that eRedCap should not be set to true, such as a feature combination should not set both redCap and eRedCap to true.

[0250] 1> For a random access resource set, if smallData is set to true (if smallData is set to true for a set of Random Access resources):

[0251] 2> consider the set of Random Access resources as not available for the Random Access procedure which is not triggered for SDT.

[0254] 1> For a random access resource set, if msg3-Repetition is set to true (if msg3-Repetition is set to true for a set of Random Access resources):

[0255] 2>consider the set of Random Access resources as not available for the Random Access procedure if Msg3repetition is not applicable.

[0256] 1> For a random access resource set, if no feature combination is configured (if a set of RandomAccess resources is not configured with FeatureCombination:):

[0257] 2> consider the set of RandomAccess resources to not associated with any feature.
