[0028] FIG1 is a block diagram of a wireless communication system applicable to an embodiment of the present application. The wireless communication system includes a terminal 11 and a network-side device 12. The terminal 11 may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer (Tablet Personal Computer), a laptop computer (Laptop Computer), a notebook computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a handheld computer, a netbook, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a mobile internet device (MID), an augmented reality (AR), a virtual reality (VR) device, a robot, a wearable device (Wearable Device), an aircraft (Flight Vehicle), a vehicle-mounted device (VUE), a ship-mounted device, a pedestrian user equipment (PUE), a smart home (home appliances with wireless communication capabilities, such as refrigerators, televisions, washing machines, or furniture), a game console, a personal computer (PC), an ATM, or a self-service machine, or other terminal-side devices. 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, vehicle-mounted controller, vehicle-mounted module, vehicle-mounted component, vehicle-mounted chip or 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.

[0029] 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. Among them, the base station can be referred to as Node B (NB), Evolved Node B (eNB), the next generation Node B (gNB), New Radio Node B (NR Node B), access point, Relay Base Station (RBS), Serving Base Station (SBS), Base Transceiver Station (BTS), radio base station, radio transceiver, Basic Service Set (BSS), Extended Service Set (ESS), Home Node B (HNB), Home evolved Node B (home evolved Node B), 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 embodiment 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.

[0030] 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 (MME), access mobility management function (AMF), session management function (SMF), user plane function (UPF), policy control function (PCF), policy and charging rules function unit (PCRF), edge application service discovery function (EASDF), unified data management (UDM), unified data repository (UDR), home user server (HSS), centralized network configuration (CNC), network storage function (NRF), network exposure function (NEF), local NEF (L-NEF), binding support function (BSF), application function ( 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.

[0031] In some embodiments, the network may allocate specific random access resources for message 1 (msg1) (for a four-step random access procedure) or message A (msgA) (for a two-step random access procedure) for random access channel (RACH) procedures associated with different characteristics. This allows the network to understand certain characteristics of the random access upon receipt of msg1 or msgA based on the resources corresponding to the msg1 or msgA message and perform corresponding operations. For example, the network may consider relevant information when generating and sending message 2 (msg2) or message B (msgB).

[0032] In some embodiments, for eRedCap, when no RACH msg1 resource is configured for the eRedCap-specific Msg1early indication but RACH msg1 resource is configured for the RedCap-specific Msg1early indication, the eRedCap terminal shares the Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) resource of the RedCap terminal. Furthermore, if the network configures Rel-17 RedCap specific msgA resource, the eRedCap UE will share the Rel-17 RedCap specific msgA resource.

[0033] Therefore, when the eRedCap terminal initiates a RACH, the available resources include at least one of the following:

[0034] The resource set of msg1 associated with the eRedCap feature (used for four-step random access);

[0035] The resource set of msg1 associated with the RedCap feature (used for four-step random access);

[0036] The resource set of msgA associated with the RedCap feature (used for two-step random access);

[0037] A msg1 or msgA resource set that is not associated with either eRedCap or RedCap.

[0038] In some embodiments, the network may allocate specific msg1 (for a four-step random access procedure) or msgA (for a two-step random access procedure) random access resources for RACH procedures associated with small data transmission (SDT), RedCap, coverage enhancement (CovEnh), or slicing. The msg1 or msgA random access resources are associated with one or more feature combinations described in the above embodiments.

[0039] 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 (for example, because a RedCap terminal initiates a RACH process triggered by an SDT process), the RACH resource selection of the terminal is illustrated as follows:

[0040] If the network configuration random access resources include one or more of the following four types:

[0041] A. msg1 or msgA resource set applicable to the combination of SDT and RedCap features;

[0042] B. msg1 or msgA resource set applicable to RedCap features;

[0043] C. msg1 or msgA resource sets for SDT and RedCap features;

[0044] D. msg1 or msgA resource set applicable to the combination of SDT and RedCap and CovEnh features;

[0045] E. A set of msg1 or msgA resources that are not associated with any feature;

[0046] The terminal's behavior may include at least one of the following:

[0047] 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;

[0048] If the random access resource set 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 unrelated to CovEnh, selecting the random access resource configured in D will cause network misunderstanding.

[0049] If the network configuration random access resources 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 network configuration random access resources include both B and C, the specific selection of B or C depends on other network configurations.

[0050] 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.

[0051] The selection of a 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.

[0052] For example, the msg1 or msgA resource applicable to the combination of SDT and RedCap features is a random access resource set, specifically including a set of time-frequency positions of random access opportunities (RACH Occasion, RO) and preambles.

[0053] For example: the process of selecting a random access resource set based on the priority of at least one of the characteristics of SDT, RedCap, CovEnh, Slicing, etc.

[0054] 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.

[0055] For msg1 or msgA resources in a resource set, the network configures their applicable scope through the following information elements (IEs):

[0056] 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;

[0057] Similarly, setting smallData-r17 to true indicates that the corresponding RACH resources are used only for SDT;

[0058] If redCap-r17 and smallData-r17 are both carried, and the others are not, the corresponding RACH resource is used only for the redCap and smallData combination. All initiated RACHs associated with both redCap and smallData (and possibly other third characteristics) can use the corresponding RACH resource.

[0059] In some embodiments, eRedCap can use one of spare1 to spare4 above.

[0060] It should be noted that the above IE is only an example, and the embodiment of this application does not limit the configuration of resources.

[0061] In some embodiments, the cost and complexity of devices with reduced capability (RedCap) are further reduced. One method is to reduce the bandwidth of the terminal to support only 5 MHz bandwidth.

[0062] For example, potential solutions that can complement each other to reduce device complexity are considered, taking into account the impact on the network, the coexistence of RedCap (which may include RedCap corresponding to multiple protocol versions) and non-RedCap terminals in a cell, the impact on terminals or the impact on regulations. Specific solutions are as follows:

[0063] The terminal bandwidth is reduced to 5 MHz in frequency range (FR) 1. In this case, it may be combined with relaxed terminal processing time for the physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) and / or physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) or channel state information (CSI);

[0064] Alternatively, the terminal peak data rate in FR1 may be reduced, which may include limiting the PDSCH / or PUSCH allocated bandwidth, or may be combined with a relaxed terminal processing timeline for PDSCH or PUSCH or CSI.

[0065] It should be noted that the above embodiment can also be applied to FR2.

[0066] In some embodiments, there are three main options for further reducing the bandwidth (BW) of the RedCap terminal to 5 MHz.

[0067] Option BW1: Both the RF and baseband bandwidths are 5 MHz for both the uplink (UL) and downlink (DL). The RF is tuned to the 5 MHz bandwidth of interest. If the location of the 5 MHz bandwidth changes, the RF must be readjusted.

[0068] Option BW2: The baseband bandwidth is 5 MHz and is used for all signals and channels, while the RF bandwidth remains at 20 MHz and is used for both uplink (UL) and downlink (DL). This option features the same ADC / FFT BW as the RF BW, making it easier to change the location of the 5 MHz BW of interest in the digital domain without having to re-adjust the RF, compared to BW1.

[0069] Option BW3: The 5MHz baseband bandwidth is used only for PDSCH (unicast and broadcast) and PUSCH, while the 20MHz RF bandwidth is used for both UL and DL. In addition to the PDSCH and PUSCH, other physical channels, such as the 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 a maximum 20MHz RF bandwidth. This option offers advantages: control channels can transmit over a bandwidth exceeding 20MHz, and the control channel buffer is 20MHz. This reduces the cost of buffering for post-Fast Fourier Transform (Post-FFT) data and receiver processing blocks. However, it offers greater flexibility in channel and signal resource configuration and allocation / scheduling.

[0070] It should be noted that the above embodiments are merely examples of 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.

[0071] The random access resource set determination method, apparatus, and terminal provided in the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings through some embodiments and their application scenarios.

[0072] Please refer to FIG2 , which is a flowchart of a random access resource set determination method provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG2 , the method includes the following steps:

[0073] Step 201: The terminal performs an availability determination operation on a random access resource set, wherein the availability determination operation includes:

[0074] Based on whether the random access resource set is associated with at least one of eRedCap and RedCap, a random access procedure is determined to be unavailable for the random access resource set.

[0075] 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.

[0076] The above-mentioned availability determination operation may also be referred to as the usability determination operation.

[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 at least one of eRedCap and RedCap includes the following three methods:

[0078] 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;

[0079] determining, based on whether the random access resource set is associated with a RedCap, a random access procedure in which the random access resource set is unavailable;

[0080] Based on whether the random access resource set is associated with eRedCap and RedCap, a random access procedure is determined to be unavailable for the random access resource set.

[0081] 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.

[0082] The eRedCap indication corresponding to the 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.

[0083] In some embodiments, the configuration corresponding to the random access resource set can be indicated by eRedCap using 1 bit, such as a first value (1 or 0) indicating that the eRedCap indication is carried, and a second value (0 or 1) indicating that the eRedCap indication is not carried.

[0084] In some embodiments, associating the random access resource set with eRedCap may indicate that the resource set is only available to eRedCap terminals.

[0085] In some implementation manners, 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.

[0086] The RedCap indication corresponding to the 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.

[0087] In some embodiments, the configuration corresponding to the random access resource set can be indicated by RedCap using 1 bit, such as a first value (1 or 0) indicating that the RedCap indication is carried, and a second value (0 or 1) indicating that the RedCap indication is not carried.

[0088] In some implementations, the configuration corresponding to the random access resource set may be a configuration received by the terminal from a network-side device.

[0089] 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.

[0090] 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.

[0091] In some implementations, the above step 201 may be performed by a medium access control (MAC) entity of the terminal.

[0092] In an embodiment of the present application, a 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. Based on whether the random access resource set is associated with at least one of eRedCap and RedCap, a random access process in which the random access resource set is unavailable is determined, thereby avoiding the terminal initiating an unavailable random access process in the random access resource set, which may cause 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.

[0093] As an optional implementation, the method further includes:

[0094] 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.

[0095] As an optional implementation manner, the random access resource set includes:

[0096] Any random access resource set among the random access resource sets indicated to the terminal.

[0097] 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.

[0098] In this implementation, since the terminal is directed to any random access resource set in the random access resource sets, it is possible to perform the availability determination operation in the above step for each random access resource set.

[0099] As an optional implementation manner, the random access resource set includes at least one of the following:

[0100] 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.

[0101] In this implementation, corresponding availability determination operations can be performed on all three random access resource sets, further improving the random access performance of the terminal.

[0102] 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 all three types of random access resource sets are applicable, and no further details are given below.

[0103] 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:

[0104] In a case where the random access resource set is associated with eRedCap, the random access procedure for determining that the random access resource set is unavailable includes: a random access procedure that is not applied to eRedCap.

[0105] The above-mentioned random access process that is not applicable to eRedCap can be understood as the terminal currently initiating the random access process is not an eRedCap terminal.

[0106] 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.

[0107] As an optional implementation manner, the terminal is an eRedCap terminal, and the method further includes at least one of the following:

[0108] In the case that 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:

[0109] 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.

[0110] The above-mentioned terminal being regarded as a RedCap terminal may mean that the eRedCap terminal regards itself as a RedCap terminal and executes 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.

[0111] The terminal being regarded as a RedCap terminal and performing at least one of the above items may be regarded as a RedCap terminal in a 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.

[0112] The random access resource set availability determination operation performed above may be the availability determination operation in step 201 or other availability determination operations defined by the protocol.

[0113] 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.

[0114] In this implementation, 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.

[0115] 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:

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

[0117] In a case where the random access resource set is associated with RedCap and the random access resource set includes only two-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;

[0118] 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.

[0119] The random access resource set including the four-step random access resource may be that the random access resource set only includes the four-step random access resource, or the random access resource set includes the four-step random access resource and the two-step random access resource.

[0120] In this implementation, when the random access resource set is associated with RedCap, it is possible to determine that unavailable random access procedures for a random access resource set including four-step random access resources or two-step random access resources include random access procedures that are not applied to eRedCap, thereby improving the random access performance of the eRedCap terminal.

[0121] Optionally, when the random access resource set is associated with RedCap and the random access resource set includes only 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, including:

[0122] When the random access resource set is associated with RedCap, and the random access resource set includes only two-step random access resources, and the two-step random access resources meet the first condition, determining that the random access process of the random access resource set is unavailable includes: a random access process that is not applied to eRedCap;

[0123] or,

[0124] In a case where the random access resource set is associated with RedCap and the random access resource set includes only two-step random access resources, the random access procedure for determining that the random access resource set is unavailable includes: a random access procedure that is not applied to eRedCap and a random access procedure that is not applied to RedCap, including:

[0125] When the random access resource set is associated with RedCap, the random access resource set includes only 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;

[0126] 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.

[0127] Among them, the above-mentioned first condition can be a condition agreed upon in the protocol or configured on the network side.

[0128] The sending time and frequency resources of message A of the two-step random access resource partially or completely do not exceed the capability of the terminal. It can be understood that the sending time and frequency resources of message A of the two-step random access resource partially or completely do not exceed the capability of the above terminal.

[0129] In this implementation, the first condition described above can make the random access process of determining that the random access resource set is unavailable more accurate, thereby further improving the random access performance of the terminal.

[0130] 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:

[0131] In a case where none of the random access resource sets including four-step random access resources indicated to 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, determining that the random access procedure of the random access resource set is unavailable includes: a random access procedure not being applied to eRedCap or RedCap;

[0132] 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.

[0133] 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.

[0134] The above-mentioned random access process that is not applicable to RedCap can be understood as the terminal that currently initiates the random access process is not a RedCap terminal.

[0135] In this implementation, the random access resource set refers to the random access resource set in step 201 .

[0136] The above-mentioned random access procedure that is not applicable to eRedCap or RedCap refers to the random access procedure that is not applicable to eRedCap, or the random access procedure that is not applicable to RedCap.

[0137] In this embodiment, 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.

[0138] In this embodiment, 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 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 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.

[0140] 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 time-frequency resources for sending message A of the two-step random access resources do not exceed the capabilities of the terminal.

[0141] Among them, the above-mentioned second condition can be a condition agreed upon in the protocol or configured on the network side.

[0142] In this implementation, the second condition can make the random access process of determining that the random access resource set is unavailable more accurate, thereby further improving the random access performance of the terminal.

[0143] 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:

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

[0145] 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 procedure for determining that the random access resource set is unavailable includes: a random access procedure that is not applied to eRedCap or RedCap.

[0146] In this implementation, it is possible to determine the resource set of four-step random access resources or two-step random access resources by associating the random access resource set with RedCap, 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.

[0147] Optionally, when the random access resource set is associated with RedCap and the random access resource set includes only 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, including:

[0148] 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.

[0149] Among them, the above-mentioned third condition can be a condition agreed upon in the protocol or configured on the network side.

[0150] In this implementation, the third condition can make the random access process of determining whether a random access resource set is unavailable more accurate, thereby further improving the random access performance of the terminal.

[0151] 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:

[0154] In this implementation, the random access resource set may be a resource set including only two-step random access resources or four-step random access resources, and unavailable random access processes may be determined, thereby improving the random access performance of the terminal.

[0155] Optionally, when the random access resource set is associated with RedCap and the random access resource set includes only 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, including:

[0156] 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.

[0157] Among them, the above-mentioned fourth condition can be a condition agreed upon in the protocol or configured on the network side.

[0158] In this implementation, the fourth condition can make the random access process of determining whether a random access resource set is unavailable more accurate, thereby further improving the random access performance of the terminal.

[0159] In an optional embodiment, the method further includes:

[0160] 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

[0161] For example, when the random access resource set is associated with an eRedCap, determining the random access procedure available for the random access resource set includes: a random access procedure applied to the eRedCap;

[0162] In case that the random access resource set is associated with a RedCap, determining the random access procedure available for the random access resource set includes: a random access procedure applied to the RedCap.

[0163] In an embodiment of the present application, a terminal performs an availability determination operation for a random access resource set, wherein the availability determination operation includes: determining, based on whether the random access resource set is associated with at least one of eRedCap and RedCap, that the random access process for 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, determining that the random access process for the random access resource set is unavailable, thereby avoiding the terminal initiating an unavailable random access process for the random access resource set, which may cause the terminal to easily fail random access, thereby improving the random access performance of the terminal.

[0164] The following describes the method provided in the embodiments of the present application through multiple examples:

[0165] Example 1: This example mainly describes the availability of a random access resource set, as follows:

[0166] Step 1: The MAC entity of the terminal shall perform the following availability determination for each resource set configured with four-step random access resources.

[0167] 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 applicable 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.

[0168] Step 2: The MAC entity of the eRedCap terminal shall perform the following availability checks for each resource set configured with four-step random access resources or each resource set configured with two-step random access resources, as follows:

[0169] The MAC entity shall perform the following availability checks for each set of configured Random Access resources for 4-step RA type:

[0170] 1> For a set of Random Access resources, if eRedCap is set to true:

[0171] 2> consider the set of Random Access resources as not available for a Random Access procedure for which eRedCap is not applicable.

[0172] 1>Others:

[0173] 2> Consider eRedCap act as RedCap in the following procedure in clause 5.1.1c and 5.1.1d. in the protocol definition.

[0174] 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:

[0175] 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):

[0176] 2> consider the set of Random Access resources as not available for a Random Access procedure for which RedCap is not applicable.

[0177] 1> For a set of Random Access resources:, if smallData is set to true:

[0178] 2> consider the set of Random Access resources as not available for the Random Access procedure which is not triggered for SDT.

[0179] 1> For a random access resource set, if the network slice access layer group (NSAG) list is configured (if NSAG-List is configured for a set of Random Access resources):

[0180] 2> consider the set of Random Access resources as not available for the Random Access procedure unless it is triggered for any one of the NSAG-ID(s)in the NSAG-List.

[0181] 1> For a random access resource set, if msg3-Repetitions is set to true (if msg3-Repetitions is set to true for a set of Random Access resources):

[0182] 2> consider the set of Random Access resources as not available for the Random Access procedure if Msg3repetition is not applicable.

[0183] 1> For a set of Random Access resources, if no feature combination is configured (if a set of Random Access resources is not configured with FeatureCombination):

[0184] 2> Consider the set of Random Access resources to not associated with any feature.

[0185] Example 2:

[0186] This embodiment mainly describes the availability of random access resource sets, as follows:

[0187] Step 1: The MAC entity of the terminal shall perform the following availability determination for each resource set configured with four-step random access resources.

[0188] 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.

[0189] 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 / or each resource set configured with two-step random access resources.

[0190] Step 2-1: For a resource set configured with two-step random access resources, if RedCap is set to true:

[0191] Step 2-1-1: The UE considers that the random access resource set is not applicable to a random access procedure that is not applicable to RedCap.

[0192] Step 2-2:

[0193] For a resource set configured with four-step random access resources, if RedCap is set to true:

[0194] 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.

[0195] The rest of the process is described in the protocol definition and will not be described again.

[0196] For example, the MAC entity shall perform the following availability check for each set of configured Random Access resources for 4-step RA type:

[0197] 1> For a set of Random Access resources, if eRedCap is set to true:

[0198] 2> consider the set of Random Access resources as not available for a Random Access procedure for which eRedCap is not applicable.

[0199] 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:

[0200] 1> For a random access resource set of a two-step random access type, if redCap is set to true (if redCap is set to true for a set of Random Access resources for 2-step RA type):

[0201] 2> consider the set of Random Access resources as not available for a Random Access procedure for which RedCap is not applicable.

[0202] 1> For a random access resource set of a four-step random access type, if redCap is set to true (if redCap is set to true for a set of Random Access resources for 4-step RA type):

[0203] 2> consider the set of Random Access resources as not available for a Random Access procedure for which (e)RedCap is not applicable.

[0204] 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.

[0205] 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):

[0206] 2> consider the set of Random Access resources as not available for the Random Access procedure which is not triggered for SDT.

[0207] 1> For a random access resource set, if NSAG-List is configured for a set of Random Access resources:

[0208] 2> consider the set of Random Access resources as not available for the Random Access procedure unless it is triggered for any one of the NSAG-ID(s)in the NSAG-List.

[0210] 2> consider the set of Random Access resources as not available for the Random Access procedure if Msg3 repetition is not applicable.

[0212] 2> Consider the set of Random Access resources to not associated with any feature.

[0213] Example 3, this embodiment mainly describes the availability of random access resource sets, as follows:

[0214] Step 1: The MAC entity of the terminal shall perform the following availability judgment for each resource set configured with four-step random access resources and / or each resource set configured with two-step random access resources.

[0215] Step 1-1: For a random access resource set, if eRedCap is set to true, the terminal considers that the random access resource set cannot be used for a random access procedure that does not apply to eRedCap; otherwise, the eRedCap terminal considers that the random access resource set (if any) with RedCap set to true cannot be used for a random access procedure that does not apply to eRedCap.

[0216] Step 2: The MAC entity of the eRedCap terminal shall perform the following availability check for each resource set configured with four-step random access resources and each resource set configured with two-step random access resources. The details of this step are defined in the protocol and will not be described here.

[0217] For example, the MAC entity shall perform the following availability check for each set of configured Random Access resources for 4-step RA type:

[0218] 1> For a set of Random Access resources, if eRedCap is set to true:

[0219] 2> consider the set of Random Access resources as not available for a Random Access procedure for which eRedCap is not applicable.

[0220] 1>Others:

[0221] 2> For eRedCap, consider the set of Random Access resources where redcap is set to true, if any, as not available for a Random Access procedure for which eRedCap is not applicable.

[0222] 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:

[0223] 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):

[0224] 2> consider the set of Random Access resources as not available for a Random Access procedure for which RedCap is not applicable.

[0225] 1> For a set of Random Access resources, if smallData is set to true:

[0226] 2> consider the set of Random Access resources as not available for the Random Access procedure which is not triggered for SDT.

[0227] 1> For a random access resource set, if the network slice as group (NSAG) list is configured (consider the set of Random Access resources as not available for the Random Access procedure which is not triggered for SDT):

[0228] 2> consider the set of Random Access resources as not available for the Random Access procedure unless it is triggered for any one of the NSAG-ID(s)in the NSAG-List.

[0229] 1> For a random access resource set, if msg3-Repetitions is set to true (if msg3-Repetitions is set to true for a set of Random Access resources):

[0230] 2> consider the set of Random Access resources as not available for the Random Access procedure if Msg3 repetition is not applicable.

[0231] 1> For a set of Random Access resources, if no feature combination is configured (if a set of Random Access resources is not configured with FeatureCombination):

[0232] 2> Consider the set of Random Access resources to not associated with any feature.

[0233] Example 4:

[0234] This embodiment mainly describes the availability of random access resource sets, as follows:

[0235] Step 1: The MAC entity of the RedCap terminal shall perform the following availability judgment for each resource set configured with four-step random access resources or each resource set configured with two-step random access resources.

[0236] 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 procedure that does not apply to eRedCap.

[0237] Step 1-2: For a random access resource set configured with two-step random access resources, if RedCap is set to true,

[0238] 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.

[0239] Step 1-3: For a random access resource set configured with four-step random access resources, if RedCap is set to true,

[0240] 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.

[0241] The remaining steps can be found in the protocol definition and will not be described again.

[0242] For example:

[0243] The MAC entity shall perform 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:

[0244] 1> For a set of Random Access resources for 4-step RA type, if eRedCap is set to true:

[0245] 2> consider the set of Random Access resources as not available for a Random Access procedure for which eRedCap is not applicable.

[0246] 1> For a set of Random Access resources for 2-step RA type, if eRedCap is set to true (if redCap is set to true for a set of Random Access resources for 2-step RA type):

[0247] 2> consider the set of Random Access resources as not available for a Random Access procedure for which eRedCap is not applicable.

[0248] 1> For a set of Random Access resources for 4-step RA type: if redCap is set to true:

[0249] 2> consider the set of Random Access resources as not available for a Random Access procedure for which (e)RedCap is not applicable.

[0250] Among them, for the above 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. For example, a feature combination should not set both redCap and eRedCap to true.

[0251] 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):

[0252] 2> consider the set of Random Access resources as not available for the Random Access procedure which is not triggered for SDT.

[0253] 1> For a random access resource set, if NSAG-List is configured for a set of Random Access resources:

[0254] 2> consider the set of Random Access resources as not available for the Random Access procedure unless it is triggered for any one of the NSAG-ID(s)in the NSAG-List.

[0255] 1> For a random access resource set, if msg3-Repetitions is set to true (if msg3-Repetitions is set to true for a set of Random Access resources):

[0256] 2> consider the set of Random Access resources as not available for the Random Access procedure if Msg3 repetition is not applicable.

[0257] 1> For a set of Random Access resources, if no feature combination is configured (if a set of Random Access resources is not configured with FeatureCombination:):

[0258] 2> Consider the set of Random Access resources to not associated with any feature.
