Abstract

A random access method and device may be used in a wireless communications network. The random access method includes selecting a preamble of a message A; determining a logical resource unit for transmitting the message A based on the preamble of the message A, in which the preamble has a predetermined mapping relationship with the logical resource unit, and the logical resource unit includes at least one physical resource unit part, the physical resource unit part is a partial physical resource obtained by dividing a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) physical resource; and transmitting the message A through the physical resource unit part included in the logical resource unit.

Claims (45)

1. A random access method, performed by a terminal, comprising:

selecting a preamble of a message A;

determining a logical resource unit for transmitting the message A based on the preamble of the message A, wherein the preamble has a predetermined mapping relationship with the logical resource unit, and the logical resource unit is obtained by reorganizing physical resource unit parts, the physical resource unit part is a partial physical resource obtained by dividing a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) physical resource; and

transmitting the message A through the physical resource unit part included in the logical resource unit;

wherein physical resource unit parts included in the same logical resource unit are from different PUSCH physical resources and different logical resource units comprise partially overlapped physical resource unit parts.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein different logical resource units comprise the same physical resource unit part or different physical resource unit parts.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the physical resource unit part is the partial physical resource obtained by dividing the PUSCH physical resource using at least one of a time division mode and a frequency division mode.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the preamble has a predetermined one-to-one mapping relationship with the logical resource unit, or the preamble has a predetermined one-to-many mapping relationship with the logical resource unit.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the preamble has the predetermined one-to-many mapping relationship with the logical resource unit,

determining the logical resource unit for transmitting the message A based on the preamble of the message A comprises one of the following:

randomly selecting the logical resource unit for transmitting the message A from a plurality of logical resource units corresponding to the preamble; and

selecting a logical resource unit matching a preset rule from a plurality of logical resource units corresponding to the preamble based on the preset rule as the logical resource unit for transmitting the message A.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the preset rule comprises at least one of a preset matching rule between channel conditions and logical resource units and a preset matching rule between modulation and coding schemes (MCSs) and logical resource units.

7. A random access method, performed by a network device, comprising:

detecting a preamble of a message A;

determining a logical resource unit for transmitting the message A based on the preamble of the message A, wherein the preamble has a predetermined mapping relationship with the logical resource unit, and the logical resource unit is obtained by reorganizing physical resource unit parts, the physical resource unit part is a partial physical resource obtained by dividing a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) physical resource; and

detecting the message A in the physical resource unit part included in the logical resource unit;

wherein physical resource unit parts included in the same logical resource unit are from different PUSCH physical resources and different logical resource units comprise partially overlapped physical resource unit parts.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein different logical resource units comprise the same physical resource unit part or different physical resource unit parts.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the physical resource unit part is the partial physical resource obtained by dividing the PUSCH physical resource using at least one of a time division mode and a frequency division mode.

10. The method of claim 7 , wherein the preamble has a predetermined one-to-one mapping relationship with the logical resource unit, or the preamble has a predetermined one-to-many mapping relationship with the logical resource unit.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the preamble has the predetermined one-to-many mapping relationship with the logical resource unit,

determining the logical resource unit for transmitting the message A based on the preamble of the message A comprises one of the following:

randomly selecting the logical resource unit for transmitting the message A from a plurality of logical resource units corresponding to the preamble; and

selecting a logical resource unit matching a preset rule from a plurality of logical resource units corresponding to the preamble based on the preset rule as the logical resource unit for transmitting the message A.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the preset rule comprises at least one of a preset matching rule between channel conditions and logical resource units and a preset matching rule between modulation and coding schemes (MCSs) and logical resource units.

13. A random access device, comprising:

a processor;

a memory storing instructions executable by the processor;

wherein, the processor is configured to perform the random access method according to claim 7 .

14. A random access device, comprising:

a processor;

a memory storing instructions executable by the processor;

wherein, the processor is configured to perform a random access method comprising:

selecting a preamble of a message A;

determining a logical resource unit for transmitting the message A based on the preamble of the message A, wherein the preamble has a predetermined mapping relationship with the logical resource unit, and the logical resource unit is obtained by reorganizing physical resource unit parts, the physical resource unit part is a partial physical resource obtained by dividing a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) physical resource; and

transmitting the message A through the physical resource unit part included in the logical resource unit;

wherein physical resource unit parts included in the same logical resource unit are from different PUSCH physical resources and different logical resource units comprise partially overlapped physical resource unit parts.

15. The device of claim 14 , wherein the physical resource unit part is the partial physical resource obtained by dividing the PUSCH physical resource using at least one of a time division mode and a frequency division mode.

16. The device of claim 14 , wherein the preamble has a predetermined one-to-one mapping relationship with the logical resource unit, or the preamble has a predetermined one-to-many mapping relationship with the logical resource unit.

17. The device of claim 16 , wherein, the preamble has the predetermined one-to-many mapping relationship with the logical resource unit,

determining the logical resource unit for transmitting the message A based on the preamble of the message A comprises one of the followings:

randomly selecting the logical resource unit for transmitting the message A from a plurality of logical resource units corresponding to the preamble; and

selecting a logical resource unit matching a preset rule from a plurality of logical resource units corresponding to the preamble based on the preset rule as the logical resource unit for transmitting the message A.

18. The device of claim 17 , wherein the preset rule comprises at least one of a preset matching rule between channel conditions and logical resource units and a preset matching rule between modulation and coding schemes (MCSs) and logical resource units.
