Abstract

An information indication method and apparatus, a device, and a storage medium, relating to the technical field of communications. The method comprises: receiving a random access response (RAR) message ( 301 ); and obtaining at least one of first indication information and second indication information from the RAR message, wherein the first indication information is used for determining a target channel access approach corresponding to the target uplink transmission; the second indication information is used for determining the time domain position of the target uplink transmission ( 302 ). The target channel access approach and the time domain position corresponding to the target uplink transmission can be determined according to the RAR message, so that a UE can realize random access on an unlicensed spectrum.

Claims (52)

obtaining at least one of first indication information and second indication information from the RAR message, wherein the first indication information is used for determining a target channel access mode corresponding to a target uplink transmission, and the second indication information is used for determining a time domain position of the target uplink transmission, wherein the second indication information comprises a first offset value in a set of offset values, and the first offset value is used for determining the time domain position of the target uplink transmission;

wherein the set of offset values is a set of offset values which is in correspondence with a subcarrier interval corresponding to the target uplink transmission;

wherein the target channel access mode is a channel access mode in a group of channel access modes, and the group of channel access modes comprises at least two channel access modes;

wherein the group of channel access modes is preset;

wherein the group of channel access modes comprises:

a first type of channel access mode, a second type of channel access mode, and a third type of channel access mode;

wherein the first type of channel access mode comprises at least one channel access priority class, and the second type of channel access mode comprises at least one detection time interval;

wherein the method further comprises:

obtaining a second offset value in a physical uplink shared channel PUSCH time domain resource allocation field in an uplink scheduling grant in the RAR message, wherein the second offset value and the first offset value are used for jointly determining the time domain position of the target uplink transmission; and

wherein the target uplink transmission is a physical uplink shared channel PUSCH of Message 3 in a random access procedure.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the obtaining at least one of the first indication information and the second indication information from the RAR message comprises:

obtaining at least one of the first indication information and the second indication information from a redundant bit in the RAR message.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the set of offset values is indicated by a network device or preset.

4. An information indication method, applied to a network device, and comprising:

sending a random access response RAR message, wherein the RAR message carries at least one of first indication information and second indication information, wherein the first indication information is used for determining a target channel access mode corresponding to a target uplink transmission, and the second indication information is used for determining a time domain position of the target uplink transmission,

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein at least one of the first indication information and the second indication information is carried by a redundant bit in the RAR message.

6. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the set of offset values is indicated by the network device or preset.

7. A device, wherein the device comprises a processor and a memory, the memory stores at least one instruction, and the at least one instruction is configured to be executed by the processor to implement steps of an information indication method, applied to a terminal, and comprising:

receiving a random access response RAR message; and

obtaining at least one of first indication information and second indication information from the RAR message, wherein the first indication information is used for determining a target channel access mode corresponding to a target uplink transmission, and the second indication information is used for determining a time domain position of the target uplink transmission,

wherein the second indication information comprises a first offset value in a set of offset values, and the first offset value is used for determining the time domain position of the target uplink transmission;
