3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein before the receiving first indication information from a network device, the method further comprises: transmitting an allocation request to the network device, wherein the allocation request is used to request for the network device to allocate random access resource; and, receiving the allocation information from the network device, wherein the allocation information is used to indicate the random access resource allocated by the network device according to the allocation request;

or,

wherein the allocated random access resource comprises at least one of time-domain random access resource, frequency-domain random access resource, allocation of preamble codes, bandwidth part BWPs constituting system bandwidth, beam resources, and synchronization signal block (SS Block) associated with beam resources/channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS);

or,

wherein after the receiving allocation information from the network device, the method further comprises: when determining that the allocated random access resource is in an available state, transmitting a beam failure recovery request to the network device based on the allocated random access resource when a beam failure recovery is triggered.

4. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the receiving first indication information from a network device, comprises:

receiving activation indication information from the network device, wherein the activation indication information is used to indicate that the allocated random access resource is available;

or,

wherein the receiving first indication information from a network device, comprises:

receiving deactivation indication information from the network device, wherein the deactivation indication information is used to indicate that the allocated or activated random access resource is unavailable.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein after receiving activation indication information from the network device, the method further comprises:

when triggering a beam failure recovery, transmitting a beam failure recovery request to the network device according to the allocated random access resources.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein after the receiving first indication information from a network device, the method further comprises:

receiving second indication information from the network device, wherein the second indication information is used to indicate that the allocated random access resource is released;

transmitting second acknowledgment information to the network device.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the step of receiving second indication information from the network device, comprises: receiving the second indication information from the network device through medium access control (MAC) control element (CE);

or,

wherein the step of transmitting second acknowledgment information to the network device, comprises: feeding back uplink control information (UCI) carrying the second acknowledgment information to the network device through physical uplink control channel (PUCCH); or, feeding back radio resource control (RRC) message carrying the second acknowledgment information to the network device through RRC; or, feeding back, through the MAC CE, the second acknowledgment information carried in the MAC CE to the network device.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the receiving first indication information from a network device, comprises: receiving the first indication information from the network device through medium access control (MAC) control element (CE);

or,

wherein the transmitting first acknowledgment information to the network device, comprises: feeding back uplink control information (UCI) carrying the first acknowledgment information to the network device through physical uplink control channel (PUCCH); or, feeding back radio resource control (RRC) message carrying the first acknowledgment information to the network device through RRC; or, feeding back, through Medium Access Control (MAC) Control Element (CE), the first acknowledgment information carried in the MAC CE to the network device.

9. A random access resource processing method, comprising:

transmitting first indication information to a user equipment (UE), wherein the first indication information is used to indicate whether a preset random access resource is available for initiating a beam failure recovery request to the network device;

receiving first acknowledgment information from the UE.

10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the first indication information is used to indicate whether an allocated random access resource is available;

before transmitting first indication information to a user equipment (UE), the method further comprises:

allocating the allocated random access resource for the UE;

transmitting allocation information to the UE; wherein the allocation information is used to indicate the allocated random access resource.

11. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the transmitting allocation information to the UE, comprises:

when responding to a first beam failure recovery request, transmitting the allocation information to the UE; wherein the allocated random access resource is used for the UE to initiate a second beam failure recovery request.

12. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the responding to a first beam failure recovery request, comprises:

receiving the first beam failure recovery request from the UE;

performing a beam failure recovery mechanism;

wherein the beam failure recovery mechanism is used to switch communication link from a failed beam to an available beam.

13. The method according to claim 10 , wherein before transmitting first indication information to a user equipment (UE), the method further comprises: receiving an allocation request from the UE, wherein the allocation request is used to request for allocating a random access resource; and transmitting the allocation information to the UE, wherein the allocation information is used to indicate the random access resource allocated based on the allocation request;

or,

wherein the allocated random access resource comprises at least one of time-domain random access resource, frequency-domain random access resource, allocation of preamble codes, bandwidth part BWPs constituting system bandwidth, beam resources, and synchronization signal block (SS Block) associated with beam resources/channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS).

14. The method according to claim 10 , wherein after transmitting allocation information to the UE, the method further comprises:

transmitting second indication information to the UE; wherein the second indication information is used to indicate that the preset random access resource is released;

receiving second acknowledgment information from the UE.

15. The method according to claim 14 , wherein the transmitting second indication information to the UE, comprises: when determining that the beam is in an idle state, transmitting the second indication information to the UE; or, after completing responding to a beam failure recovery request, transmitting the second indication information to the UE; or, when determining that the allocated random access resource is in an unavailable state, transmitting the second indication information to the UE;
