Abstract

A method for transmitting a random access message and a device are provided. The method includes: determining a valid transmission occasion from transmission occasions of a random access message, where the random access message corresponds to at least one of physical random access channel (PRACH) or physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH); and transmitting the random access message on the valid transmission occasion.

Claims (75)

1. A method for transmitting a random access message, executed by a terminal device and comprising:

transmitting the random access message on the valid transmission occasion;

wherein the transmission occasion corresponds to a PRACH transmission occasion and a PUSCH transmission occasion;

wherein the determining a valid transmission occasion from transmission occasions of a random access message comprises:

determining the valid transmission occasion from the transmission occasions of the random access message based on a slot format indicated in first configuration information, or a slot format indicated in second configuration information, wherein

the first configuration information comprises cell-specific time division duplex (TDD) configuration information; and

wherein the determining a valid transmission occasion from transmission occasions of a random access message comprises:

when a transmission occasion of the random access message meets the following preset conditions, determining that the transmission occasion is a valid transmission occasion, wherein

the preset conditions comprise:

in one slot, the transmission occasion does not precede an SSB occasion;

a time gap between the transmission occasion and a first preset occasion is greater than or equal to a first preset value, wherein the first preset occasion is a time domain location of a latest downlink symbol before the transmission occasion; and

a time gap between the transmission occasion and a second preset occasion is greater than or equal to a first preset value, wherein the second preset occasion is a latest SSB occasion before the transmission occasion.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the determining a valid transmission occasion from transmission occasions of a random access message comprises:

if a transmission occasion of the random access message is located in an uplink symbol indicated by first configuration information, determining that the transmission occasion is a valid transmission occasion, wherein

the first configuration information comprises cell-specific TDD configuration information.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein when the transmission occasion of the random access message meets the preset conditions, determining that the transmission occasion is a valid transmission occasion comprises:

if the transmission occasion of the random access message is located in an uplink symbol or a flexible symbol indicated by second configuration information and meets at least one of the preset conditions, determining that the transmission occasion is a valid transmission occasion, wherein

the second configuration information comprises UE-specific TDD configuration information.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the determining a valid transmission occasion from transmission occasions of a random access message further comprises:

if the terminal device works in an unlicensed band and a transmission occasion of the random access message falls within a discovery reference signal (DRS) time window, determining that the transmission occasion is an invalid transmission occasion.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the determining a valid transmission occasion from transmission occasions of a random access message comprises:

if the terminal device works in an unlicensed band and preset conditions are met, determining that a transmission occasion of the random access message is a valid transmission occasion, wherein

the preset conditions comprise:

the second configuration information comprises UE-specific TDD configuration information.

9. The terminal device according to claim 7 , wherein the determining a valid transmission occasion from transmission occasions of a random access message comprises:
