Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a random access method, a configuration indication method and an electronic device. The random access method includes: initiating random access based on first random access configuration information in response to autonomous determination of timing advance by the terminal, initiating random access based on second random access configuration information in response to non-autonomous determination of timing advance by the terminal; the first random access configuration information is different from the second random access configuration information.

Claims (49)

1 . A random access method, being applied to a terminal, the method comprising:

initiating random access based on first random access configuration information in response to autonomous determination of timing advance by the terminal, initiating random access based on second random access configuration information in response to non-autonomous determination of timing advance by the terminal;

wherein the first random access configuration information is different from the second random access configuration information;

wherein the first random access time domain resource is different from the second random access time domain resource; and

density of the first random access time domain resource is different from density of the second random access time domain resource.

2 . The random access method according to claim 1 , wherein the random access method further comprises at least one of:

determining, according to broadcast signaling and/or radio resource control signaling sent by a base station, to initiate the random access based on the first random access configuration information in response to the autonomous determination of the timing advance by the terminal; or

determining, according to broadcast signaling and/or radio resource control signaling sent by the base station, to initiate the random access based on the second random access configuration information in response to the non-autonomous determination of the timing advance by the terminal.

3 . The random access method according to claim 1 , wherein the density of the first random access time domain resource is greater than the density of the second random access time domain resource.

4 . The random access method according to claim 1 , wherein the density of the first random access time domain resource is a first multiple of the density of the second random access time domain resource, wherein the first multiple is greater than 1.

5 . The random access method according to claim 4 , wherein initiating the random access based on the second random access configuration information in response to the non-autonomous determination of the timing advance by the terminal, comprises:

determining a time domain location of the second random access time domain resource according to a time domain location of the first random access time domain resource and the first multiple and an offset; and

in response to the non-autonomous determination of the timing advance by the terminal, initiating the random access at the time domain location of the second random access time domain resource, and
