Abstract

The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a random access method and device, and provide a method for data transmission for a terminal device that performs random access using a two-step random access procedure. The method includes: transmitting, by a terminal device, a first preamble and first uplink data to a network device; receiving, by the terminal device, scheduling information transmitted by the network device; and performing, by the terminal device, a subsequent transmission according to the scheduling information.

Claims (42)

1. A method for two-step random access procedure, comprising:

transmitting, by a terminal device, a first preamble and first uplink data to a network device;

receiving, by the terminal device, scheduling information transmitted by the network device; and

performing, by the terminal device, a subsequent transmission or reception according to the scheduling information,

wherein the scheduling information is first scheduling information that is carried on a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) and that indicates the terminal device to retransmit the first uplink data to the network device, and the performing, by the terminal device, the subsequent transmission or reception according to the scheduling information comprises:

retransmitting, by the terminal device, the first uplink data to the network device; wherein the first scheduling information comprises an uplink transmission parameter, wherein the uplink transmission parameter comprises a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) and power information.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first scheduling information is carried in a Random Access Response (RAR) on the PDSCH.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein cyclic redundancy check (CRC) for Downlink Control Information (DCI) in the PDCCH is scrambled with a first Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RNTI) for identifying the terminal device.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first scheduling information is scheduling information that is transmitted to the terminal device for the first time after the network device receives the first preamble; and

for the first scheduling information that is not transmitted to the terminal device for the first time, the first scheduling information is carried on a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH).

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first scheduling information further comprises a timing advance,

the uplink transmission parameter further comprises at least one of the following information: a time domain resource, a frequency domain resource, a pilot resource, New Data Indicator (NDI) information, and Redundancy Version (RV) information.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the performing, by the terminal device, the subsequent transmission or reception according to the scheduling information comprises:

reinitiating, by the terminal device, random access when the scheduling information is first scheduling information and a number of times that the terminal device consecutively receives the first scheduling information reaches a maximum number of retransmissions.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a resource of the first preamble comprises at least one of the following resources: a time domain resource, a frequency domain resource, or a code domain resource; and

the first uplink data comprises a radio resource control (RRC) connection request message or an RRC connection reestablishment request message.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein receiving the scheduling information transmitted by the network device, comprises:

receiving the scheduling information transmitted by the network device in a time window, wherein

start of the time window is later than the first uplink data, and duration of the time window is K symbols, wherein K is a positive integer.

9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first scheduling information further comprises information for identifying the terminal device.

10. A network device, comprising a processor and a memory, wherein the memory is configured to store a computer program, and the processor is configured to invoke and execute the computer program stored in the memory to:

detect a first preamble and first uplink data transmitted by a terminal device;

transmit scheduling information to the terminal device according to a reception situation of the first uplink data; and

perform a subsequent transmission or reception according to the scheduling information,

wherein the scheduling information is first scheduling information that is carried on a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) and that indicates the terminal device to retransmit the first uplink data to the network device, and the processor is configured to invoke and execute the computer program stored in the memory to receive the first uplink data retransmitted by the terminal device according to the scheduling information, wherein the first scheduling information comprises an uplink transmission parameter, wherein the uplink transmission parameter comprises a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) and power information.

11. The network device according to claim 10 , wherein the processor is configured to invoke and execute the computer program stored in the memory to transmit the first scheduling information to the terminal device when the first uplink data has not been correctly received.

12. The network device according to claim 10 , wherein the first scheduling information is carried in a Random Access Response (RAR) on the PDSCH.

13. The network device according to claim 10 , wherein cyclic redundancy check (CRC) for Downlink Control Information (DCI) in the PDCCH is scrambled with a first Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RNTI) for identifying the terminal device.

14. The network device according to claim 10 , wherein the first scheduling information is scheduling information that is transmitted to the terminal device for the first time after the network device receives the first preamble; and

for the first scheduling information that is not transmitted to the terminal device for the first time, the first scheduling information is carried on a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH).

15. The network device according to claim 10 , wherein the first scheduling information further comprises a timing advance; and

the uplink transmission parameter further comprises at least one of the following information: a time domain resource, a frequency domain resource, a pilot resource, New Data Indicator (NDI) information, and Redundancy Version (RV) information.

16. The network device according to claim 10 , wherein a resource of the first preamble comprises at least one of the following resources: a time domain resource, a frequency domain resource, or a code domain resource; and

the first uplink data comprises a radio resource control (RRC) connection request message or an RRC connection reestablishment request message.

17. A terminal device, comprising a processor and a memory, wherein the memory is configured to store a computer program, and the processor is configured to invoke and execute the computer program stored in the memory to:

transmit a first preamble and first uplink data which is carried on a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) to a network device, the PUSCH further carrying a Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RNTI) specific to the terminal device;

receive scheduling information transmitted by the network device; and

perform a subsequent transmission or reception according to the scheduling information,

wherein the scheduling information is second scheduling information that is carried on a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) and that indicates the terminal device to receive downlink data, and cyclic redundancy check (CRC) for Downlink Control Information (DCI) in the PDCCH is scrambled with a first RNTI for identifying the terminal device.

18. The terminal device according to claim 17 , wherein the first RNTI is generated according to at least one of the following information: time domain information of the first preamble, frequency domain information of the first preamble, code domain information of the first preamble, pilot information for PUSCH carrying the first uplink data, or code domain information of the PUSCH carrying the first uplink data.

19. The terminal device according to claim 18 , wherein the processor is configured to invoke and execute the computer program stored in the memory to receive a contention resolution message transmitted by the network device according to a resource position indicated in the second scheduling information.
