Abstract

Disclosed is a random access method, which comprises: a network device sending a first message to a terminal device, wherein the first message carries a first offset duration, and the first message comprises at least one of the following: a system message, a second MsgB and a second Msg2; and the terminal device determining a target random access resource on the basis of a backoff time and the first offset duration, wherein the target random access resource is used for initiating target random access again. Further disclosed are another random access method, terminal device and network device.

Claims (30)

1 . A method for random access, comprising:

determining, by a terminal device, a target random access resource based on a backoff time and a first offset duration; wherein the target random access resource is used for re-initiating a target random access,

wherein a Random Access Occasion (RO) in the target random access resource is a random access resource after the first offset duration of the backoff time.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first offset duration is carried by at least one of:

a system message transmitted by a network device;

a second Message B (MsgB) transmitted by the network device; or

a second Message 2 (Msg2) transmitted by the network device.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the first offset duration is carried in a Media Access Control (MAC) subheader comprised in an MAC Protocol Data Unit (PDU) of the second MsgB or the second Msg2.

4 . A method for random access, comprising:

transmitting, by a network device, a first message to a terminal device, wherein the first message carries a first offset duration; and

the first message comprises at least one of: a system message, a second Message B (MsgB), or a second Message 2 (Msg2),

wherein the first offset duration is used for the terminal device to determine a target random access resource; and the target random access resource is used for initiating a target random access,

wherein a Random Access Occasion (RO) in the target random access resource is a random access resource after the first offset duration of a backoff time.

5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the target random access resource comprises:

in case where a first random access process is not completed, a resource for the terminal device to re-initiate the target random access.

6 . A terminal device, comprising a processor and a memory for storing a computer program capable of running on the processor, wherein the processor is used to run the computer program to:

determine a target random access resource based on a backoff time and a first offset duration; wherein the target random access resource is used for initiating a target random access,

wherein a Random Access Occasion (RO) in the target random access resource is a random access resource after the first offset duration of the backoff time.

7 . The terminal device of claim 6 , wherein the first offset duration is carried by at least one of:

a system message transmitted by a network device;

a second Message B (MsgB) transmitted by the network device; or

a second Message 2 (Msg2) transmitted by the network device.

8 . The terminal device of claim 7 , wherein the first offset duration is carried in a Media Access Control (MAC) subheader comprised in an MAC Protocol Data Unit (PDU) of the second MsgB or the second Msg2.

9 . A network device, comprising:

a transmission unit, configured to transmit a first message to a terminal device, wherein the first message carries a first offset duration; and

the first message comprises at least one of: a system message, a second Message B (MsgB), or a second Message 2 (Msg2),

wherein the first offset duration is used for the terminal device to determine a target random access resource; and the target random access resource is used for initiating a target random access,

wherein a Random Access Channel (RACH) Occasion (RO) in the target random access resource is a random access resource after the first offset duration of a backoff time.

10 . The network device of claim 9 , wherein the target random access resource comprises:

in case where a first random access process is not completed, a resource for the terminal device to re-initiate the target random access.
