[0167] In some embodiments, the present disclosure is applied to an NTN system, in which terminals and network devices communicate via satellite. The NTN system supports multi-beam transmission. If multiple beams are transmitted simultaneously, satellite power must be distributed across the different beams, reducing the power per beam. Furthermore, the satellite antenna size is smaller, resulting in lower antenna gain. Furthermore, the present disclosure can also be applied to other systems, and the present embodiments are not limiting.

[0168] In some embodiments, the terminal establishes a connection with the network device through random access. Optionally, during the initial access process, after receiving the random access preamble sent by the terminal, the network device sends Msg2 to the terminal. The PDCCH of Msg2 is DCI 1-0 scrambled by RA-RNTI, and schedules the PDSCH of Msg2. The PDSCH includes TC-RNTI, TA command, and UL grant (time-frequency resources of msg3).

[0169] In some embodiments, Msg2 uses common PDCCH and common PDSCH resources.

[0170] In some embodiments, the first DCI transmitted on the common PDCCH is the DCI used to schedule SIB1. Since this DCI is the same for the entire cell and appears periodically, the terminal can jointly demodulate multiple DCIs scheduling SIB1 through soft combining to achieve repetition and improve reliability.

[0216] (1) DCI scrambled by RA-RNTI;

[0217] In some embodiments, in 4-step RACH, msg2 is scrambled with RA-RNTI, and msg2 is sent through the first channel, that is, the second information may include DCI scrambled with RA-RNTI.

[0224] In some embodiments, the first information is carried in an SIB. In some embodiments, the first information may also be carried in a MAC CE, a DCI, or other messages, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0225] In some embodiments, the time domain resources for repeated transmission of the first channel are a continuous first number of time slots, and the first number is the same as the number of times the first channel is repeatedly transmitted; and / or, the first channel is repeatedly transmitted on multiple time slots, and each repeated transmission of the first channel occupies the same time domain resources in each time slot on the multiple time slots.

[0226] Optionally, the above embodiment can be understood as follows: the time domain resources for repeated transmission of the first channel are a first number of consecutive time slots, and the first number is the same as the number of repeated transmissions of the first channel. Alternatively, the first channel is repeatedly transmitted over multiple time slots, and each repeated transmission of the first channel occupies the same time domain resources in each of the multiple time slots. Alternatively, the time domain resources for repeated transmission of the first channel are a first number of consecutive time slots, and the first number is the same as the number of repeated transmissions of the first channel; and the first channel is repeatedly transmitted over multiple time slots, and each repeated transmission of the first channel occupies the same time domain resources in each of the multiple time slots.

[0227] In some embodiments, the time domain resources in the embodiments of the present disclosure are symbols, or other resources, which are not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0229] For example, if the terminal does not have a valid second channel, it receives the first channel or the second information carried on the first channel in four consecutive time slots based on the number of repeated transmissions on the first channel. In other words, the number of repeated transmissions on the first channel is four, and the first channel occupies each of the four time slots. This can also be understood as the first channel fully occupying each time slot.

[0230] In some embodiments, the terminal does not have a valid second channel, and based on the number of repeated transmissions of the first channel, receives the first channel or receives the second information carried on the first channel in N consecutive time slots, where N is the number of repeated transmissions, and the time domain resources occupied by the first channel in each of the N consecutive time slots are the same.

[0231] For example, if a terminal does not have a valid second channel, it will receive the first channel or the second information carried on the first channel in four consecutive time slots based on the number of repeated transmissions on the first channel. This means that the number of repeated transmissions on the first channel is four, and the first channel occupies the same time domain resources in each of the four time slots. Alternatively, the first channel occupies the time domain resources in the first half of each of the four time slots. For another example, if each time slot contains 14 symbols, the first channel occupies the first eight symbols in each of the four time slots.

[0232] In some embodiments, the first channel carries third information, and the third information is used to indicate a time offset value, which indicates the time interval between the time unit at which the last transmission of the first channel received by the terminal for repeated transmission ends and the start time unit of the third channel.

[0233] Optionally, the time unit is a time slot, a symbol, etc., which is not limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0234] In some embodiments, the second information includes third information, which is used to indicate a time offset value, and the time offset value indicates the time interval between the time unit at which the last transmission of the first channel received by the terminal for repeated transmission ends and the start time unit of the third channel.
