Abstract

A random access method, a base station and a User Equipment (UE) are provided. A random access method applied to a base station side includes: receiving, by using a pre-configured first SubCarrier Spacing (SCS), a first random access preamble message transmitted by a UE when the base station instructs the UE to perform an initial access according to a contention-based random access mechanism; transmitting, by using a predetermined second SCS or a third SCS configured by a network, a first Random Access Response (RAR) message to the UE; receiving, by using a predetermined fourth SCS or a fifth SCS configured by the network, a first scheduling transmission message transmitted by the UE; and transmitting, by using a predetermined sixth SCS or a seventh SCS configured by the network, a first collision resolution message to the UE, to complete the initial access.

Claims (18)

1. A random access method, wherein the random access method is applied to a base station, and comprises:

receiving, by using a pre-configured first SubCarrier Spacing (SCS), a first random access preamble message transmitted by a User Equipment (UE) when the base station instructs the UE to perform an initial access according to a contention-based random access mechanism;

transmitting, by using a predetermined second SCS, a first Random Access Response (RAR) message to the UE according to the first random access preamble message, wherein the predetermined second SCS is the same as a SCS used in a transmission of ReMaining System Information (RMSI) over a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) or Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH);

receiving, by using a predetermined fourth SCS or a fifth SCS configured by the network, a first scheduling transmission message transmitted by the UE according to the first RAR message; and

transmitting, by using a predetermined sixth SCS or a seventh SCS configured by the network, a first collision resolution message to the UE according to the first scheduling transmission message, to complete the initial access.

2. The random access method according to claim 1 , wherein the fifth SCS configured by the network is carried in a Physical Random Access CHannel (PRACH) configuration parameter in RMSI, or carried in the first RAR message.

3. The random access method according to claim 1 , wherein the predetermined sixth SCS is a SCS employed by a PBCH transmission, or a SCS employed by a transmission of RMSI, or a SCS applied to the first RAR message.

4. A random access method, wherein the random access method is applied to a UE, and comprises:

transmitting, by using a pre-configured first SCS, a first random access preamble message to a base station when the base station instructs the UE to perform an initial access according to a contention-based random access mechanism;

receiving, by using a predetermined second SCS, a first RAR message transmitted by the base station according to the first random access preamble message, wherein the predetermined second SCS is the same as a SCS used in a transmission of ReMaining System Information (RMSI) over a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) or Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH);

transmitting, by using a predetermined fourth SCS or a fifth SCS configured by a network, a first scheduling transmission message to the base station according to the first RAR message; and

receiving, by using a predetermined sixth SCS or a seventh SCS configured by the network, a first collision resolution message transmitted by the base station according to the first scheduling transmission message, to complete the initial access.

5. The random access method according to claim 4 , wherein the fifth SCS configured by the network is carried in a PRACH configuration parameter in RMSI, or carried in the first RAR message.

6. The random access method according to claim 4 , the predetermined sixth SCS is a SCS employed by a PBCH transmission, or a SCS employed by a transmission of RMSI, or a SCS applied to the first RAR message.

7. A base station, comprising a first memory, a first processor and a computer program stored in the first memory and configured to be executed by the first processor, wherein the first processor is configured to execute the computer program, to implement steps of the method according to claim 1 .

8. A UE, comprising: a third memory, a third processor and a computer program stored in the third memory and configured to be executed by the third processor, wherein the third processor is configured to execute the computer program, to implement steps of the method according to claim 4 .

9. The UE according to claim 8 , wherein the fifth SCS configured by the network is carried in a PRACH configuration parameter in RMSI, or carried in the first RAR message.

10. The UE according to claim 8 , the predetermined sixth SCS is a SCS employed by a PBCH transmission, or a SCS employed by a transmission of RMSI, or a SCS applied to the first RAR message.
