Abstract

A processing method and a terminal for random access are provided in the embodiments of the present invention. The method includes: triggering, by a terminal, first random access through Media Access Control (MAC), and successfully accessing a device at a network side; when a Scheduling Request (SR) of the terminal is triggered, determining whether to trigger next random access, where if the next random access is determined not to be triggered, the terminal does not execute the random access; receiving, by the terminal, a Radio Resource Control (RRC) reconfiguration message that carries an SR related parameter and the RRC reconfiguration message is sent by the device at the network side; and determining, according to the SR related parameter, by the terminal, a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) resource for sending the SR, and sending the SR by using the PUCCH resource.

Claims (21)

1. A processing method for random access, comprising:

triggering, by a terminal, first random access through Media Access Control (MAC), and determining successfully accessing a device at a network side after completing uplink synchronization to the device at the network side through the first random access;

after the terminal successfully accesses the device at the network side, starting timing by the terminal;

when a Scheduling Request (SR) of the terminal is triggered, determining whether to trigger next random access, comprising: determining whether a time by the timing exceeds a preset time, if the time by the timing does not exceed the preset time, determining not to trigger the next random access;

receiving, by the terminal, a Radio Resource Control (RRC) reconfiguration message that carries an SR related parameter, wherein the RRC reconfiguration message is sent by the device at the network side and wherein the SR related parameter carried in the RRC reconfiguration message is: a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) resource index corresponding to the SR, an SR configuration index, and maximum times of SR transmission; and

determining, by the terminal, a PUCCH resource for sending the SR according to the SR related parameter carried in the RRC reconfiguration message, and sending the SR by using the PUCCH resource.

2. The processing method for random access according to claim 1 , wherein before the triggering, by the terminal, the first random access through the MAC and successfully accessing the device at the network side, the method further comprises:

when a Time Alignment (TA) of the terminal expires or SR transmission reaches maximum times, releasing a current PUCCH resource of the terminal for sending the SR.

3. A terminal, comprising:

a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, configured to:

trigger first random access through Media Access Control (MAC), and determine successfully accessing a device at a network side after completing uplink synchronization to the device at the network side through the first random access;

after the terminal successfully accesses the device at the network side, start timing by the terminal;

determine whether to trigger next random access when a Scheduling Request (SR) of the terminal is triggered, comprising: determining whether a time by the timing exceeds a preset time, if the time by the timing does not exceed the preset time, determining not to trigger the next random access;

receive a Radio Resource Control (RRC) reconfiguration message that carries an SR related parameter, wherein the RRC reconfiguration message is sent by the device at the network side and wherein the SR related parameter carried in the RRC reconfiguration message is: a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) resource index corresponding to the SR, an SR configuration index, and maximum times of SR transmission; and

determine, a PUCCH resource for sending the SR according to the SR related parameter carried in the RRC reconfiguration message, and send the SR by using the PUCCH resource.

4. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, comprising computer program codes which when executed by a computer processor cause the compute processor to execute process of:

triggering, by a terminal, first random access through Media Access Control (MAC), and determining successfully accessing a device at a network side after completing uplink synchronization to the device at the network side through the first random access;

after the terminal successfully accesses the device at the network side, starting timing by the terminal;

when a Scheduling Request (SR) of the terminal is triggered, determining whether to trigger next random access, comprising: determining whether a time by the timing exceeds a preset time, if the time by the timing does not exceed the preset time, determining not to trigger the next random access;

receiving, by the terminal, a Radio Resource Control (RRC) reconfiguration message that carries an SR related parameter, wherein the RRC reconfiguration message is sent by the device at the network side and wherein the SR related parameter carried in the RRC reconfiguration message is: a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) resource index corresponding to the SR, an SR configuration index, and maximum times of SR transmission; and

determining, by the terminal, a PUCCH resource for sending the SR according to the SR related parameter carried in the RRC reconfiguration message, and sending the SR by using the PUCCH resource.
