Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a method for transmitting system information, a base station and a terminal, the method including: receiving, by a base station, MSG1 transmitted by a terminal; determining an access purpose of the terminal according to a preset mapping relationship between a physical random access channel resource used by the terminal to transmit the MSG1 and the access purpose of the terminal, the access purpose including requesting the system information, requesting initial access, or requesting the system information and the initial access at one time; transmitting, by the base station, MSG2 to the terminal if the access purpose of the terminal is to request the system information, or to request the system information and the initial access at one time. It is possible to transmit the system information according to the requirements of the terminal, which is beneficial to optimize the system efficiency.

Claims (29)

1. A method for transmitting system information, comprising:

selecting, by a terminal and according to an access purpose, a physical random access channel resource, wherein a preset mapping relationship exists between the physical random access channel resource and the access purpose, the access purpose comprises requesting the system information and initial access at one time, the preset mapping relationship between the physical random access channel resource and the access purpose of the terminal is a many-to-one mapping or a one-to-one mapping, and the preset mapping relationship is pre-configured by a system and stored in the base station and the terminal;

transmitting MSG1 to a base station using the selected physical random access channel resource; and

receiving MSG2 transmitted by the base station, the MSG2 comprising the system information or scheduling information corresponding to the system information, and the MSG2 further comprising uplink scheduling information corresponding to MSG3.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting, by the terminal, an RRC connection request to the base station according to the uplink scheduling information corresponding to MSG3; and

receiving, by the terminal, MSG4 transmitted by the base station to complete a random access.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the physical random access channel resource comprises a time-frequency resource.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the MSG1 comprises identifier information of the access purpose, and the identifier information is pre-agreed with the base station or is configured by default by the system.

5. A base station, comprising:

a processor, a memory, a transceiver and a bus, the processor, the memory and the transceiver being connected to each other by the bus, wherein the transceiver is configured to transmit and receive a signal and communicate with a terminal, the memory is configured to store a set of program codes, and the processor is configured to invoke the program codes stored in the memory, and perform the following operations:

receiving, through the transceiver, MSG1 transmitted by the terminal;

determining an access purpose of the terminal according to a preset mapping relationship between a physical random access channel resource used by the terminal to transmit the MSG1 and the access purpose of the terminal, the access purpose comprising requesting the system information and initial access at one time, the preset mapping relationship between the physical random access channel resource and the access purpose of the terminal being a many-to-one mapping or a one-to-one mapping, and the preset mapping relationship being pre-configured by a system and stored in the base station and the terminal; and

transmitting, through the transceiver, MSG2 to the terminal, the MSG2 comprising the system information or scheduling information corresponding to the system information, and the MSG2 further comprising uplink scheduling information corresponding to MSG3.

6. The base station according to claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured to invoke the program codes stored in the memory, and perform the following operations:

receiving, through the transceiver, an RRC connection request, wherein the RRC connection request is transmitted by the terminal according to the uplink scheduling information corresponding to MSG3; and

transmitting, through the transceiver, MSG4 to the terminal, wherein the MSG4 is used for the terminal to complete a random access.

7. The base station according to claim 5 , wherein the physical random access channel resource comprises a time-frequency resource.

8. The base station according to claim 5 , wherein the MSG1 comprises identifier information of the access purpose, and the identifier information is pre-agreed with the terminal or is configured by default by the system.

9. A terminal, comprising:

a processor, a memory, a transceiver and a bus, the processor, the memory, and the transceiver being connected to each other by the bus, wherein the transceiver is configured to transmit and receive a signal and communicate with a base station, the memory is configured to store a set of program codes, and the processor is configured to invoke the program codes stored in the memory, and perform the following operations:

selecting, according to an access purpose, a physical random access channel resource, wherein a preset mapping relationship exists between the physical random access channel resource and the access purpose, the access purpose comprises requesting the system information and initial access at one time, the preset mapping relationship between the physical random access channel resource and the access purpose of the terminal is a many-to-one mapping or a one-to-one mapping, and the preset mapping relationship is pre-configured by a system and stored in the base station and the terminal;

transmitting MSG1 to a base station through the transceiver using the selected physical random access channel resource; and

receiving, through the transceiver, MSG2 transmitted by the base station, the MSG2 comprising the system information or scheduling information corresponding to the system information, and the MSG2 further comprising uplink scheduling information corresponding to MSG3.

10. The terminal according to claim 9 , the processor is further configured to invoke the program codes stored in the memory, and perform the following operations:

transmitting, through the transceiver, an RRC connection request to the base station according to the uplink scheduling information corresponding to MSG3; and

receiving, through the transceiver, MSG4 transmitted by the base station to complete a random access.

11. The terminal according to claim 9 , wherein the physical random access channel resource comprises a time-frequency resource.

12. The terminal according to claim 9 , wherein the MSG1 comprises identifier information of the access purpose, and the identifier information is pre-agreed with the base station or is configured by default by the system.
