Abstract

A method and an apparatus for obtaining a mapping between a random access parameter and a resource are disclosed in embodiments of the present invention, where the method includes: obtaining a random access parameter list, and obtaining a serial number of a parameter in the random access parameter list; obtaining a resource list; and obtaining a mapping between the random access parameter and a common enhanced dedicated channel resource in the resource list according to the obtained serial number of the random access parameter and the total number of resources in the obtained resource list, so that a network side device determines, according to the random access parameter sent by a UE, whether a corresponding common enhanced dedicated channel resource is available. In this way, a mapping between a signature and a default common E-DCH resource can be defined, and a problem of relatively low random access efficiency is solved.
