Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of communications.

Background Art

[0002] In order to enhance the uplink coverage of the base station, in NR Rel-18, the following has been studied, that is, by multiple PRACH (Physical Random Access Channel) transmissions, the power of the UE to transmit the PRACH (Physical Random Access Channel) is enhanced, so that the base station can receive the PRACH transmitted by the UE in the area with weak coverage, thereby enhancing the uplink coverage of the base station.

[0003] In the existing initial access PRACH resource setting scheme, related PRACH resource information, such as rach-ConfigCommon and additionalRACH-ConfigList-r17, is set in the system information. PRACH resource information such as the frequency domain resource of the PRACH and the PRACH configuration Index is set by the RRC.

[0004] Note that the introduction of the above background art is for clearly and completely explaining the technical solution of the present invention and making it easy for those skilled in the art to understand. These technical solutions should not be construed as well-known to those skilled in the art just because they are described in the background art of the present invention.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] Currently, time-domain resource-related information for PRACH occasions can be obtained by looking up the PRACH configuration table using the PRACH configuration index set by RRC. Table 1 is an example of a PRACH configuration table.

[0006] [Table 1] Furthermore, Rel-18 confirms that the PRACH occasion for multiple PRACH transmission is set by the RO set (RO group in the diagram).

[0007] However, conventional technologies only have resource setting schemes for single PRACH transmission, and there is no method for setting RO (RACH Occasion, random access opportunity) for multiple PRACH transmission. In the case of schemes with multiple PRACH transmissions, it is necessary to determine the specific location of the PRACH occasion, and the problem that needs to be solved is how to set RO for schemes with multiple PRACH transmissions.

[0040] Figure 1 shows a communication system in an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 1, the communication system 100 may include network equipment 101 and terminal equipment 102.

[0041] In embodiments of the present invention, existing business operations (traffic / services) or future business operations can be transmitted between the network device 101 and the terminal device 102. For example, these operations include, but are not limited to, eMBB (enhanced Mobile Broadband), mMTC (massive Machine Type Communication), and URLLC (Ultra-Reliable and Low-Latency Communication).

[0042] The following describes various embodiments of the present invention, accompanied by drawings. These embodiments are merely illustrative and do not limit the present invention. [Examples]

[0043] An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for transmitting a physical random access channel, which is applied to a terminal device, for example, to terminal device 102 in Figure 1.

[0044] Figure 2 shows a method for transmitting a physical random access channel (PRACH) in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in Figure 2, the method includes the following: Step 201: The terminal device sends a second quantity of PRACH with a first quantity of valid RO.

[0045] The effective RO of the first quantity is time-domain multiplexed, or the effective RO of the first quantity is frequency-domain multiplexed, or the effective RO of the first quantity is time-domain and frequency-domain multiplexed, and the first quantity and the second quantity are positive integers of 2 or more.

[0046] In some embodiments, the first quantity of effective RO may be referred to as multiple ROs, and the first quantity of effective RO or multiple effective ROs constitutes one effective RO set (RO set).

[0047] In some embodiments, the first quantity of effective RO is the number of PRACH occasions in a single multiple PRACH transmission, and the set of the first quantity of effective RO may be called an effective RO set, that is, the first quantity of effective RO is one effective RO set. In other words, the first quantity is the quantity of effective RO in one effective RO set.

[0048] In some embodiments, the first quantity of effective RO (or effective RO in an RO set) is associated with the same SSB or with different SSBs.

[0049] In some embodiments, the first quantity of effective RO (or referred to as effective RO in an RO set) is effective RO.

[0050] In some embodiments, RO may be referred to as RACH occasion or PRACH occasion.

[0051] In some embodiments, the first number of active ROs capable of transmitting a second number of PRACHs is configured by the network equipment, i.e., multiple ROs capable of transmitting multiple PRACHs are configured by the network equipment.

[0052] In some embodiments, the RO setting or RO set setting is either a cell-specific setting or a UE-specific setting.

[0053] In some embodiments, the second quantity of PRACH or multiple PRACHs is multiple PRACH.

[0054] For example, the second quantity is the specific number of multiple PRACHs, or the number or number of PRACHs transmitted by the terminal device in multiple PRACH transmission.

[0055] In some embodiments, the second quantity of PRACHs are PRACHs that carry the same preamble, or the second quantity of PRACHs are PRACHs that carry different preambles, or a portion of the second quantity of PRACHs are PRACHs that carry the same preamble and the other portion of the second quantity of PRACHs are PRACHs that carry different preambles.

[0056] In other words, a terminal device can transmit a second quantity of the same PRACH with a first quantity of valid ROs, or it can transmit a second quantity of different PRACHs, where the same PRACHs are PRACHs with the same preamble, and the different PRACHs are PRACHs with different preambles.

[0057] In some embodiments, the first quantity is equal to the second quantity, or the first quantity is greater than or equal to the second quantity.

[0058] In some embodiments, when the first quantity is greater than or equal to the second quantity, for example, the first quantity is greater than the settable second quantity.

[0059] For example, the quantity of PRACH repetition is 2, meaning the second quantity is 2 and the first quantity is 4.

[0060] In some embodiments, when the first quantity is equal to or greater than the second quantity, for example, the first quantity is equal to the maximum value of the settable second quantity.

[0061] For example, the quantity of PRACH repetition set by RRC can be any quantity in {2, 4, 8}, that is, if the second quantity that can be set is {2, 4, 8}, then the first quantity is the maximum value of 8.

[0062] In some embodiments, at least one of the first and second quantities is set by the network device via an RRC message, for example, in the system information SIB1 via RRC.

[0063] In some embodiments, the network device is configured to either set one of the first and second quantities, or to set both the first and second quantities.

[0064] For example, a network device may have one of two quantities set, the first quantity being equal to the second quantity, or a network device may have both a first and second quantity set, with the first quantity being greater than or equal to the second quantity.

[0065] As described above, the effective RO of the first quantity is time-domain multiplexed, or the effective RO of the first quantity is frequency-domain multiplexed, or the effective RO of the first quantity is time-domain and frequency-domain multiplexed.

[0066] In some embodiments, the time-domain multiplexing of the first quantity of effective RO is also referred to as TDM scheme multiplexing or time multiplexed PRACH occasion(s), the frequency-domain multiplexing of the first quantity of effective RO is also referred to as FDM scheme multiplexing or frequency multiplexed PRACH occasion(s), and the time-domain and frequency-domain multiplexing of the first quantity of effective RO is also referred to as TDM and FDM scheme multiplexing or time multiplexed and frequency multiplexed PRACH occasion(s).

[0067] The following provides a detailed explanation of each case where RO (Role-on-Demand) is duplicated.

[0068] First, we will explain the case where the effective RO of the first quantity is time-domain multiplexed.

[0069] For example, if the first quantity is N, then one RO set (one RO of multiple PRACH) consists of N ROs that are multiplexed in the time domain, and one RO set (one RO of multiple PRACH) consists of only one RO in the frequency domain.

[0070] In some embodiments, when the first quantity of effective ROs is time-domain multiplexed, the first quantity of effective ROs is the time-domain multiplexed first quantity to which the same SSB is mapped. In other words, when the first quantity is N, the N ROs are N ROs in the time domain to which the same SSB is mapped. The following will explain this with examples.

[0071] In some embodiments, the SSB-RO mapping method is a conventional method. Alternatively, other mapping methods may be employed for SSB-RO. The embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the SSB-RO mapping method.

[0072] Figure 3 shows the mapping of SSBs and ROs in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in Figure 3, one rectangle represents one RO, and in the SSB and RO mapping setting set by RRC, the number of SSBs mapped to each RO is 1 / 2, that is, the number of ROs mapped to each SSB is 2, the number of ROs multiplexed in the frequency domain is 4, and there are a total of 4 SSBs in the cell.

[0073] For example, the first quantity (N) is 2, and in one RO set, the ROs are two ROs that are mapped to the same SSB in the time domain (i.e., have the same SSB index). Also, the quantity of RO sets is 8.

[0074] Figure 4 shows a set of ROs that are time-domain multiplexed in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in Figure 4, one rectangle represents one RO, ROs marked with the same design are ROs in one RO set, and ROs in one RO set are two ROs that are mapped to the same SSB in the time domain.

[0075] In some embodiments, when the effective RO of a first quantity is time-domain multiplexed, the effective RO of the first quantity is the effective RO of adjacent first quantities in the time domain. That is, when the first quantity is N, the RO in one RO set is the N adjacent ROs in the time domain.

[0076] In some embodiments, N adjacent ROs in the time domain refer to N ROs in an RO set that are the closest ROs in terms of time domain resource interval, or ROs whose time domain resource indices are consecutive.

[0077] For example, the first quantity (N) is 4, and in one RO set, the ROs are 4 adjacent ROs in the time domain. Also, the quantity of RO sets is 8.

[0078] Figure 5 is another diagram showing the RO sets that are time-domain multiplexed in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in Figure 5, one rectangle represents one RO, and ROs marked with the same design are ROs in one RO set, and ROs in one RO set are four ROs adjacent in the time domain.

[0079] Next, we will explain the case where the effective RO of the first quantity is frequency domain multiplexed.

[0080] For example, if the first quantity is N, then one RO set (one RO of multiple PRACH) consists of N ROs that are multiplexed in the frequency domain, and one RO set (one RO of multiple PRACH) consists of only one RO in the time domain.

[0081] In some embodiments, when a first quantity of effective ROs is frequency-domain multiplexed, the first quantity of effective ROs is the first quantity of effective ROs that are frequency-domain multiplexed and to which the same SSB is mapped. In other words, when the first quantity is N, the N ROs are N ROs in the frequency domain to which the same SSB is mapped. An example will be given below to illustrate this.

[0082] In some embodiments, the SSB-RO mapping method is a conventional method. Alternatively, other mapping methods may be employed for SSB-RO. The embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the SSB-RO mapping method.

[0083] Figure 6 is another diagram showing the SSB and RO mapping in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in Figure 6, one rectangle represents one RO, and in the SSB and RO mapping setting set by RRC, the number of SSBs mapped to each RO is 1 / 4, that is, the number of ROs mapped to each SSB is 4, the number of ROs multiplexed in the frequency domain is 4, and there are a total of 4 SSBs in the cell.

[0084] For example, the first quantity (N) is 2, and in one RO set, the ROs are two ROs mapped to the same SSB in the frequency domain (i.e., the same SSB index). Also, the quantity of RO sets is 8.

[0085] Figure 7 shows a set of ROs that are frequency-domain multiplexed in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in Figure 7, one rectangle represents one RO, ROs with the same design and markings are ROs in one RO set, and ROs in one RO set are two ROs that are mapped to the same SSB in the frequency domain.

[0086] In some embodiments, when the first quantity of effective ROs is frequency-domain multiplexed, the first quantity of effective ROs is the same as the adjacent first quantity of effective ROs in the frequency domain. That is, when the first quantity is N, the ROs in one RO set are the same as the N adjacent ROs in the frequency domain.

[0087] In some embodiments, N adjacent ROs in the frequency domain refer to N ROs in an RO set that have the closest frequency domain resource interval, or ROs whose frequency domain resource indices are consecutive.

[0088] For example, the first quantity (N) is 4, and in one RO set, the ROs are four adjacent ROs in the frequency domain. Also, the quantity of RO sets is 8.

[0089] Figure 8 is another diagram showing the RO sets that are frequency-domain multiplexed in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in Figure 8, one rectangle represents one RO, and ROs marked with the same design are ROs in one RO set, and ROs in one RO set are four adjacent ROs in the frequency domain.

[0090] Next, we will explain the case where the effective RO of the first quantity is multiplexed in the time domain and frequency domain.

[0091] In some embodiments, the first effective RO includes a third RO that is time-domain multiplexed and a fourth RO that is frequency-domain multiplexed, and the first RO is equal to the product of the third and fourth RO.

[0092] For example, the first quantity is N, the third quantity is L, and the fourth quantity is H, and N = L × H.

[0093] Then, one RO set (one RO of multiple PRACH) is N ROs that are multiplexed in the time domain and frequency domain, and one RO set (one RO of multiple PRACH) has L ROs in the time domain and H ROs in the frequency domain.

[0094] In some embodiments, when the first quantity of effective RO is time-domain and frequency-domain multiplexed, the first quantity of effective RO includes a third quantity of RO that is time-domain multiplexed and mapped to the same SSB, and a fourth quantity of RO that is frequency-domain multiplexed and mapped to the same SSB. Examples will be provided below.

[0095] In some embodiments, the SSB-RO mapping method is a conventional method. Alternatively, other mapping methods may be employed for SSB-RO. The embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the SSB-RO mapping method.

[0096] Figure 9 is another diagram showing the SSB and RO mapping in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in Figure 9, one rectangle represents one RO, and in the SSB and RO mapping setting set by RRC, the number of SSBs mapped to each RO is 1 / 4, that is, the number of ROs mapped to each SSB is 4, the number of ROs multiplexed in the frequency domain is 4, and there are a total of 4 SSBs in the cell.

[0097] For example, the first quantity (N) is 4, and one RO set contains two ROs mapped to the same SSB (i.e., the same SSB index) in the time domain and two ROs mapped to the same SSB (i.e., the same SSB index) in the frequency domain. The quantity of RO sets is 8.

[0098] Figure 10 shows a set of ROs that are multiplexed in the time domain and frequency domain in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in Figure 10, one rectangle represents one RO, and ROs with the same design and markings are ROs in one RO set, and an RO in one RO set includes two ROs that are mapped to the same SSB in the time domain and two ROs that are mapped to the same SSB in the frequency domain.

[0099] In some embodiments, when the first quantity of effective ROs is multiplexed in the time domain and frequency domain, the first quantity of effective ROs includes a third quantity of ROs adjacent in the time domain and a fourth quantity of ROs adjacent in the frequency domain. That is, when the first quantity is N, the ROs in one RO set include L ROs adjacent in the time domain and H ROs adjacent in the frequency domain.

[0100] In some embodiments, L adjacent ROs in the time domain refer to L ROs in an RO set that are the closest ROs in terms of time domain resource interval, or ROs whose time domain resource indices are consecutive, and H adjacent ROs in the frequency domain refer to H ROs in an RO set that are the closest ROs in terms of frequency domain resource interval, or ROs whose frequency domain resource indices are consecutive.

[0101] For example, the first quantity (N) is 4, and one RO set contains two adjacent ROs in the time domain and two adjacent ROs in the frequency domain. Also, the quantity of RO sets is 8.

[0102] Figure 11 is another diagram showing the RO sets that are multiplexed in the time domain and frequency domain in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in Figure 11, one rectangle represents one RO, and ROs marked with the same design are ROs in one RO set, and an RO in one RO set includes two adjacent ROs in the time domain and two adjacent ROs in the frequency domain.

[0103] As described above, when the first quantity of effective RO is multiplexed in the time domain and frequency domain, the first quantity of effective RO includes the third quantity of RO which is multiplexed in the time domain and the fourth quantity of RO which is multiplexed in the frequency domain, of which at least one of the third quantity and the fourth quantity is set by the network equipment by an RRC message, for example, set in the system information SIB1 by RRC.

[0104] In some embodiments, when the first quantity of effective RO is multiplexed in the time domain and frequency domain, the RO in the RO set is determined by the following steps, i.e., Determine one RO in the set of ROs for the fifth quantity according to the ascending RO of the frequency domain resource index; Determine one RO in the RO set of the fifth quantity according to the ascending RO of the time-domain resource index in one PARCH slot; Determine one RO in the RO set of the fifth quantity according to the ascending order of the PRACH slot index; and The RO values ​​in each RO set are determined sequentially and cyclically until the allocation of the fifth quantity of RO sets is completed.

[0105] The following is an example to illustrate this point. For instance, the fifth quantity is 3, meaning that three RO sets are set up.

[0106] Figure 12 is another diagram showing RO sets that are time-domain and frequency-domain multiplexed in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in Figure 12, first, one RO in three RO sets is determined according to the ascending RO of the frequency-domain resource index; then, one RO in an RO set (or one RO in three multiple PRACHs) is determined according to the ascending RO of the time-domain resource index in one PRACH slot; then, one RO in an RO set (or one RO in three multiple PRACHs) is determined according to the ascending RO of the PRACH slot index; and then, the ROs in each RO set are determined sequentially and cyclically until the allocation of three RO sets (three multiple PRACHs) is complete.

[0107] The above provides a detailed explanation of the case where RO (Role-on-Demand) is duplicated.

[0108] In some embodiments, there are multiple RO sets, and the RO sets are identified by an RO set index. This RO set index is an index for a single RO set.

[0109] In some embodiments, the RO set index may be a Multiple PRACH Index.

[0110] In some embodiments, the RO set index is first determined according to the ascending order of the RO frequency domain resource index, and then determined according to the ascending order of the RO time domain resource index; or the RO set index is first determined according to the ascending order of the RO time domain resource index, and then determined according to the ascending order of the RO frequency domain resource index. For example, the RO set index is first determined according to the ascending order of the RO time domain resource index in one period, and then determined according to the ascending order of the RO frequency domain resource index.

[0111] In some embodiments, the period is the period in which all RO sets are mapped, or the period in which all SSBs are mapped to the RO set.

[0112] The following is an explanation with examples.

[0113] <When the RO set index is first determined according to the ascending order of the RO frequency domain resource index, and then determined according to the ascending order of the RO time domain resource index> FIG. 13 is a diagram showing the determination of the RO set index in the order of the frequency domain first and then the time domain in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 13, corresponding to the RO set as shown in FIG. 4, the indexes 0 to 7 of the RO set are determined in the order of the frequency domain first and then the time domain, that is, the RO set includes RO set 0 to RO set 7.

[0114] FIG. 14 is another diagram showing the determination of the RO set index in the order of the frequency domain first and then the time domain in Example 1 of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 14, corresponding to the RO set as shown in FIG. 5, the indices 0 to 7 of the RO set are determined in the order of the frequency domain first and then the time domain. That is, the RO set includes RO set 0 to RO set 7.

[0115] FIG. 15 is another diagram showing the determination of the RO set index in the order of the frequency domain first and then the time domain in Example 1 of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 15, corresponding to the RO set as shown in FIG. 10, the indices 0 to 7 of the RO set are determined in the order of the frequency domain first and then the time domain. That is, the RO set includes RO set 0 to RO set 7.

[0116] <When the RO set index is determined first in ascending order of the RO time domain resource index and then in ascending order of the RO frequency domain resource index> FIG. 16 is a diagram showing the determination of the RO set index in the order of the time domain first and then the frequency domain in Example 1 of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 16, corresponding to the RO set as shown in FIG. 4, the indices 0 to 7 of the RO set are determined in the order of the time domain first and then the frequency domain. That is, the RO set includes RO set 0 to RO set 7.

[0117] FIG. 17 is another diagram showing the determination of the RO set index in the order of the time domain first and then the frequency domain in Example 1 of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 17, corresponding to the RO set as shown in FIG. 5, the indices 0 to 7 of the RO set are determined in the order of the time domain first and then the frequency domain. That is, the RO set includes RO set 0 to RO set 7.

[0118] Figure 18 is another figure showing that in Embodiment 1 of the present invention, the RO set index is determined first in the time domain and then in the frequency domain. As shown in Figure 18, corresponding to the RO set shown in Figure 10, the RO set indices 0 to 7 are determined first in the time domain and then in the frequency domain, i.e., the RO set includes RO set 0 to RO set 7.

[0119] As described above, the RO set index is first determined in ascending order of the RO frequency domain resource index, then determined in ascending order of the RO time domain resource index, or the RO set index is first determined in ascending order of the RO time domain resource index, then determined in ascending order of the RO frequency domain resource index, and in some embodiments, the RO time domain resource index and frequency domain resource index are determined based on the PRACH configuration Index set by the network equipment, or determined in other ways. In other words, the RO is determined in the PRACH configuration Index manner, or determined in other ways. The embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the setting or determination method of the RO time domain resources and frequency domain resources.

[0120] In some embodiments, the quantity of RO sets is the fifth quantity.

[0121] In some embodiments, the maximum value of the RO set, i.e., the fifth quantity, is a directly defined default value (acceptable value).

[0122] In some embodiments, the RO quantity of each RO set among the fifth quantity RO sets is the same; for example, the RO quantity of each RO set among the four RO sets is 2.

[0123] Alternatively, in the fifth quantity of RO, the RO quantities of some RO sets are the same, while the RO quantities of some RO sets are different. For example, among the four RO sets, the RO quantities of RO set 0 and RO set 1 are 2, the RO quantity of RO set 2 is 4, and the RO quantity of RO set 3 is 8.

[0124] Alternatively, the RO quantities in each of the RO sets of the fifth quantity are all different. For example, among the four RO sets, RO set 0 has an RO quantity of 2, RO set 1 has an RO quantity of 3, RO set 2 has an RO quantity of 4, and RO set 3 has an RO quantity of 8.

[0125] In some embodiments, the number of RO sets, i.e., the fifth quantity, is set by the network device via an RRC message, for example, in the system information SIB1 via RRC.

[0126] In some embodiments, when the RO quantity in each RO set is the same, for example, RRC sets the RO set quantity and the RO quantity in each RO set, and the RO quantity in each RO set set is the same.

[0127] In some embodiments, if the RO quantities in each RO set are all different, or if the RO quantities in some RO sets are different, for example, RRC sets the RO quantity in an RO set and the number of RO sets having a certain RO quantity, for example, setting that the RO quantity in an RO set is 2, and that there are 3 RO sets having 2 ROs.

[0128] In some embodiments, when the RO quantities of some RO sets in the RO set differ, the mapping of RO sets with the same RO quantity is performed first, and then the mapping of the RO set index (or multiple PRACH index) is performed in order from low to high RO quantities in the RO sets, or the mapping of RO sets with the same RO quantity is performed first, and then the mapping of the RO set index (or multiple PRACH index) is performed in order from high to low RO quantities in the RO sets.

[0129] The following explanation will use as an example a method in which the RO quantities differ for some RO sets, and the RO set index is mapped in order from the lowest to the highest RO quantity within the RO sets.

[0130] Figure 19 shows the mapping RO set in Example 1 of the present invention.

[0131] As shown in Figure 19, each rectangle represents one RO, and ROs marked with the same design belong to the same RO set. In an RO configuration (or multiple PRACH configuration), there are four RO sets with 2 ROs and four RO sets with 4 ROs. First, the RO set index for sets with 2 ROs is mapped, and then the RO set index for sets with 4 ROs is mapped. The RO set index is mapped first in the frequency domain, and then in the time domain. In addition, the ROs in an RO set are determined in the manner of N adjacent ROs (2 or 4) in the time domain.

[0132] In some embodiments, the maximum value of the RO quantity in the RO set, i.e., the first quantity, is the sixth quantity. For example, the maximum value of the first quantity is expressed as Nmax.

[0133] In some embodiments, the sixth quantity is set by an RRC message, for example, in the system information SIB1 via RRC. Alternatively, the sixth quantity is a directly defined default value.

[0134] As can be seen from the above embodiment, by providing an RO setting mechanism for multiple PRACH transmission, terminal equipment (UE) in areas with poor coverage can be made to perform multiple PRACH transmissions. This enhances the energy transmitted by the terminal equipment through the access channel and improves the likelihood and accuracy of network equipment receiving PRACH transmissions from the terminal equipment, thereby improving the uplink coverage of network equipment.

[0135] Furthermore, embodiments of the present invention provide a method for determining the RO of multiple PRACH transmissions, which allows network devices and terminal devices to have a consistent definition of the PRACH occasion of multiple PRACHs. This enables network devices to jointly detect the RO of multiple PRACHs, thereby improving the detection efficiency of network devices for multiple PRACHs. [Examples]

This method corresponds to the method of Embodiment 1, and redundant explanations of the same content are omitted here. For example, this method is applied to the network equipment 101 in Figure 1.

[0137] Figure 20 shows the RO setting method in Embodiment 2 of the present invention. As shown in Figure 20, the method includes the following, namely, Step 2001: Set the first quantity of valid RO so that the network device sends the second quantity of PRACH to the terminal device.

[0148] In some embodiments, the maximum number of multiple PRACH configurations set in a single multiple PRACH configuration List is a directly defined default.

[0149] In the configuration method shown in Figure 21, specify the RO set quantity in the multiple PRACH configuration.

[0150] In some embodiments, the maximum RO set quantity is a directly defined default value, or the maximum RO set quantity is set by RRC, for example, by RRC in system information SIB1.

[0151] In some embodiments, the multiple PRACH configuration may also configure other parameters, such as SSB mapping and PRACH configuration index.

[0152] Figure 22 is another figure showing a multiple PRACH configuration List in Embodiment 2 of the present invention. As shown in Figure 22, one multiple PRACH configuration List may contain multiple multiple PRACH configurations, and one multiple PRACH configuration may contain one RO set setting, and one multiple PRACH configuration may contain an RO quantity (first quantity) and / or a specific quantity of multiple PRACH (second quantity) in the RO set.

[0153] In the configuration method shown in Figure 22, the multiple PRACH configuration corresponds to the RO set, and the quantity of the multiple PRACH configuration is the RO set quantity.

[0154] In some embodiments, the maximum RO set quantity is a directly defined default value, or the maximum RO set quantity is set by RRC, for example, set in system information SIB1 by RRC.

[0155] In some embodiments, the multiple PRACH configuration may also configure other parameters, such as SSB mapping and PRACH configuration index.

[0156] As can be seen from the above embodiment, by providing an RO setting mechanism for multiple PRACH transmission, terminal equipment (UE) in areas with poor coverage can be made to perform multiple PRACH transmissions. This enhances the energy transmitted by the terminal equipment through the access channel and improves the likelihood and accuracy of network equipment receiving PRACH transmissions from the terminal equipment, thereby improving the uplink coverage of network equipment.
