Abstract

A random access method includes: sending a random access message to a network device; receiving an RAR message from the network device, wherein the RAR message includes indication information, and the indication information indicates a format type of the RAR message; and performing a corresponding random access operation based on the indication information.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein in a case in which a length of the third indicator field is one bit, the third indicator field indicates whether the RAR message comprises the terminal dedicated data; or

in a case in which the length of the third indicator field is at least one bit, the third indicator field indicates whether the RAR message comprises the terminal dedicated data and a quantity of units of the terminal dedicated data comprised in the RAR message in a case in which the RAR message comprises the terminal dedicated data.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the indication information comprises a fourth indicator field, and the fourth indicator field indicates any one of following:

the RAR message comprises backoff indicator (BI) information; and

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein in a case in which the indication information indicates that the format of the RAR message is a format of fallback RAR, the RAR message comprises a random access preamble identifier (RAPID); or

in a case in which the indication information indicates that the format of the RAR message is a format of success RAR, the RAR message does not comprise the RAPID.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the terminal dedicated data is at least one of a media access control (MAC) service data unit (SDU) or a MAC control element (CE).

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the performing a corresponding random access operation based on the indication information comprises at least one of:

in a case in which the indication information indicates that the RAR message comprises backoff indicator (BI) information, performing a fallback operation based on the BI information;

in a case in which the indication information indicates that the format of the RAR message is a format of fallback RAR, performing the fallback operation;

in a case in which the indication information indicates that the format of the RAR message is a format of success RAR, and the RAR message comprises a contention resolution identifier and the contention resolution identifier is verified successfully, determining a random access procedure to be successful;

in a case in which the indication information indicates that the format of the RAR message is a format of success RAR, and the RAR message comprises a random access preamble identifier (RAPID) and a contention resolution identifier, and the RAPID and the contention resolution identifier are verified successfully, determining a random access procedure to be successful;

in a case in which the indication information indicates that the format of the RAR message is a format of success RAR, and the RAR message comprises a contention resolution identifier, and the contention resolution identifier is verified successfully, if the RAR message comprises terminal dedicated data, performing a process of receiving related data based on information about the terminal dedicated data indicated by the indication information; or

in a case in which the indication information indicates that the format of the RAR message is a format of success RAR, and the RAR message comprises a RAPID and a contention resolution identifier and the RAPID and the contention resolution identifier are verified successfully, if the RAR message comprises terminal dedicated data, performing a process of receiving related data based on information about the terminal dedicated data indicated by the indication information.

8. A random access response method applied to a network device, comprising:

receiving a random access message from a terminal;

sending a random access response (RAR) message to the terminal, wherein

the RAR message comprises indication information, and the indication information indicates a format type of the RAR message; wherein

in a case in which the indication information indicates that the format of the RAR message is a format of success RAR, the indication information further comprises a third indicator field, and the third indicator field indicates whether the RAR message comprises terminal dedicated data.

9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the indication information comprises a second indicator field, and the second indicator field indicates that the format of the RAR message is a format of fallback RAR or a format of success RAR.

10. The method according to claim 8 , wherein in a case in which a length of the third indicator field is one bit, the third indicator field indicates whether the RAR message comprises the terminal dedicated data; or

in a case in which the length of the third indicator field is at least one bit, the third indicator field indicates whether the RAR message comprises the terminal dedicated data and a quantity of units of the terminal dedicated data comprised in the RAR message in a case in which the RAR message comprises the terminal dedicated data.

11. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the indication information comprises a fourth indicator field, and the fourth indicator field indicates any one of following:

the RAR message comprises backoff indicator (BI) information; and

the format of the RAR message is a format of success RAR.

12. The method according to claim 8 , wherein in a case in which the indication information indicates that the format of the RAR message is a format of fallback RAR, the RAR message comprises a random access preamble identifier (RAPID); or

in a case in which the indication information indicates that the format of the RAR message is a format of success RAR, the RAR message does not comprise the RAPID.

13. The method according to claim 8 , wherein

the terminal dedicated data is at least one of a media access control (MAC) service data unit (SDU) or a MAC control element (CE).

14. A terminal, comprising a memory, a processor, and a computer program that is stored on the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the computer program, when executed by the processor, causes the terminal to perform:

sending a random access message to a network device;

receiving a random access response (RAR) message from the network device, wherein the RAR message comprises indication information, and the indication information indicates a format type of the RAR message; and

performing a corresponding random access operation based on the indication information;

wherein

in a case in which the indication information indicates that the format of the RAR message is a format of success RAR, the indication information further comprises a third indicator field, and the third indicator field indicates whether the RAR message comprises terminal dedicated data.
