In the existing Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, when the network device receives the random access request message sent by the terminal device, the network device sends the physical downlink shared channel (Physical Downlink Shared CHannel, PDSCH). A Random Access Response (RAR) message, where the random access request message carries a random access preamble. The RAR message carries an index of a random access preamble, time adjustment information for uplink synchronization, initial uplink resource allocation (for transmitting subsequent msg3) information, and a temporary cell radio network temporary identifier (Cell-Radio Network Temporary) Identifier, C-RNTI).

After receiving the random access request message, the terminal device needs to use a Random Access-Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RA-RNTI) to monitor the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) for receiving. Belong to your own RAR message. If the random access preamble of the RAR message received by the terminal device is the same as the random access preamble sent by the terminal device, the terminal device determines that the RAR message belongs to itself, and performs corresponding operations according to the information carried in the RAR message.

It should be noted that the “first”, “second” and the like in the embodiments of the present invention are only used to distinguish different objects, and should not be construed as limiting the embodiments of the present invention.

It should be noted that the division of the cases, manners, and categories in the embodiments of the present invention is only for convenience of description, and should not be specifically limited. The features in various situations, manners, and categories may be contradictory. Combine.

Before sending the RAR message, the network device first determines the RA-RNTI according to the received random access request message. Accordingly, the terminal device determines the RA-RNTI according to the transmitted random access request message. In other words, the network device and the terminal device respectively determine the RA-RNTI corresponding to the random access request message. First, the manner of determining the RA-RNTI in the prior art will be introduced.

The network device and the terminal device determine the RA-RNTI according to the number of the first subframe occupied by the random access request message and the number of the frequency domain location occupied by the random access request message in the first subframe.

Specifically, the network device and the terminal device may determine the RA-RNTI according to formula (1).

RA-RNTI=1+t_id+10f_id(1)

The t_id is the number of the first subframe occupied by the random access request message, and the f_id is the number of the frequency domain location occupied by the random access request message in the first subframe.

After receiving the random access request message, the network device determines the RA-RNTI according to formula (1), and sends a RAR message according to the RA-RNTI. Accordingly, the terminal device determines the RA-RNTI, and listens to the RA-RNTI according to the RA-RNTI. Your own RAR message. This method increases the complexity of the terminal device acquiring the RAR message.

For example, in the multi-beam multi-beam system, in order to improve the success rate of the terminal device transmitting the random access request message, the terminal device may send a random access request message to the network device through different beams. When the terminal device sends a random access request message in different beams, each beam corresponds to The information of the time domain resource is different (for example, the corresponding first subframe has a different number). At this time, the terminal device needs to try multiple RA-RNTIs when listening to its own RAR message, which causes the terminal device to acquire RARs with high complexity.

For example, in order to improve the success rate of the terminal device transmitting the random access preamble, the terminal device may send multiple random access request messages (multiple random access request messages) on the same time domain resource by using frequency division multiplexing. The random access preambles carried may be the same or different). At this time, the terminal device also needs to try multiple RA-RNTIs when listening to the RAR message belonging to the first terminal device, which causes the terminal device to acquire the RAR message with high complexity.

In order to reduce the complexity of the terminal device acquiring the RAR message, the RA-RNTI may be determined in the following manner.

method one,

The RA-RNTI is determined according to the first resource information of the resource occupied by the random access request message. The first resource information is used to indicate a frequency domain resource or a time domain resource occupied by the random access request message.

For example, the network device and the terminal device can determine the RA-RNTI according to formula (2).

RA-RNTI=t_id+A(2)

Where t_id is the number of the first subframe occupied by the random access request message; A is an adjustment parameter.

For another example, the network device and the terminal device can determine the RA-RNTI according to formula (3).

RA-RNTI=10f_id+B(3)

The f_id is a frequency domain location number occupied by the random access request message in the first subframe occupied by the random access request message, and B is an adjustment parameter.

The manner of determining the RA-RNTI can reduce the complexity of the RAR message obtained by the terminal device. However, the RAR message in the prior art is determined to have its own RAR message. The combination of the methods is easy to cause the terminal device to judge the error.

For example, in a case where the first resource information is used to indicate the frequency domain resource occupied by the random access request message, the network device and the terminal device determine the RA-RNTI according to the first resource information, if both the first terminal device and the second terminal device are The random access request message is sent by the frequency domain resource A, and the random access request message sent by the first terminal device and the second terminal device includes a random access preamble B, and the network device first randomly connects according to the second terminal device. Incoming request message to send RAR message (marked as a second RAR message, the first terminal device and the second terminal device both listen to the second RAR message, where the second RAR message carries information of the random access preamble B (for example, an index of the random access preamble B) . If the RAR message is determined in the prior art, that is, the RAR message belongs to itself according to the index of the random access preamble, the first terminal device may mistake the second RAR message as its own RAR message. And performing related operations by using the information in the second RAR message, causing the first terminal device to process an error.

Similarly, in the case that the first resource information is used to indicate the time domain resource occupied by the random access request message, since the RAR message that is determined to be its own in the prior art has limitations, the terminal device may easily cause an error.

Method 2,

The RA-RNTI is determined according to the first resource information of the resource occupied by the random access request message. The first resource information is used to indicate the frequency domain resource and the time domain resource that are occupied by the random access request message, and the size of the time domain resource indicated by the first resource information in the second mode is larger.

For example, in the second mode, the network device and the terminal device determine the RA-RNTI according to the information of the radio frame occupied by the random access request message (for example, the number of the first radio frame occupied).

The method is capable of balancing the complexity of receiving RAR messages by the terminal device and the number of times the terminal device determines its own RAR. However, because the RAR message in the prior art is determined to have its own limitations, if the second method is combined with the method of determining the RAR message that belongs to the prior art in the prior art, the terminal device may easily make an error. For details, refer to the above. The related descriptions are not repeated here for brevity.

Further, it is assumed that a plurality of terminal devices occupy the same subframe and the frequency domain resource to send the same random access preamble, and after receiving the RAR message of a certain terminal device, the multiple terminal devices perform random connection according to the RAR message. Entering the preamble, the RAR message is considered to belong to itself, and the contention process is performed according to the RAR message. Since the terminal device does not correctly identify the RAR message that belongs to itself, the terminal device may cause meaningless competition.

It can be found by the analysis that determining the RAR message belonging to itself according to the index of the random access preamble in the RAR message in the prior art has limitations, which is disadvantageous for the terminal device to accurately determine the RAR message belonging to itself.

In this regard, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for random access. The RAR message sent by the network device includes preamble information and indication information, and the terminal device may determine whether the received RAR message is based on the preamble information and the indication information. belong to myself. This method has high compatibility. It is advantageous for the terminal device to accurately determine the RAR message belonging to itself. The method for random access according to an embodiment of the present invention is described in detail below.

2 shows a schematic flow diagram of a method 200 for random access, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, as described in terms of device interaction. The method 200 can be applied to a communication system including a network device and at least one terminal device. The communication system may be the wireless communication system 100 shown in FIG. 1.

In the following, without loss of generality, the method according to an embodiment of the present invention is described in detail by taking the interaction between the network device and the first terminal device (and the second terminal device) as an example. It should be understood that the first terminal device is any one of the at least one terminal device, and the “first” is only used to distinguish the description, and should not be construed as limiting the embodiment of the present invention. Similarly, the second terminal device should not constitute any limitation on the embodiments of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 2, the method 200 includes:

S210: The first terminal device sends a random access request message to the network device, and the network device receives the random access request message sent by the first terminal device, where the random access request message includes a random access preamble.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the first terminal device may send an access request message to the network device by using multiple beams.

The location of the starting subframe of the different beams may be different when the terminal device sends the random access request message in a multi-beam manner.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, after the first terminal device sends the random access request message through one beam, it waits for the RAR message sent by the network device, and if it does not wait for the RAR message sent by the network device, uses another beam to send the random Accessing the request message, and waiting for the RAR message sent by the network device, if receiving the RAR message sent by the network device, stopping sending the random access request message; otherwise, selecting the beam to send the random access request message again.

S220, the network device determines the RA-RNTI according to the random access request message, and accordingly, the first terminal device determines the RA-RNTI according to the random access request message;

S230. The network device sends a RAR message according to the RA-RNTI. Correspondingly, the first terminal device receives the RAR message sent by the network device according to the RA-RNTI, where the RAR message includes indication information and preamble information, where the preamble information is used. Indicating the random access preamble;

Specifically, the network device sends the RAR message according to the RA-RNTI and the random access request message.

S240. The first terminal device determines the RAR according to the indication information and the preamble information. The message belongs to the first terminal device.

For convenience of description, the “random access request message sent by the first terminal device” may be recorded as “first request message”, and “the random access preamble carried by the first random access request message” may be recorded as “first”. The preamble "records the "RA-RNTI determined according to the first request message" as "the first RA-RNTI" and the "RAR message transmitted by the network device according to the first request message" as the "first RAR message".

Specifically, the first terminal device needs to determine whether the received RAR message belongs to the first terminal device.

For example, after the first terminal device sends the first request message, if the indication information carried by the RAR message received by the first terminal device matches the first request message, and the random access preamble indicated by the preamble information carried in the RAR message Like the first preamble, the first terminal device can determine that the RAR message belongs to the first terminal device.

For example, after the first terminal device sends the first request message, if the indication information carried by the RAR message received by the first terminal device does not match the first request message, or the random access preamble indicated by the preamble information carried in the RAR message, The code is different from the first preamble, and the first terminal device may determine that the RAR message does not belong to the first terminal device.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the RAR message not only carries the preamble information but also carries the indication information, compared with the RAR message of the random access preamble in the RAR message. The terminal device determines the RAR message that belongs to the user according to the preamble information and the indication information carried in the RAR message. The method has high compatibility and can be applied to multiple application scenarios, and is beneficial for the first terminal device to accurately determine the RAR that belongs to the user. Message.

Optionally, before S240, the method 200 may further include:

S201. The second terminal device sends a second random access request message to the network device. Correspondingly, the network device receives the second random access request message, and may record the second random access request message as the second request. Message";

S202. The second terminal device determines the RA-RNTI according to the second request message. Correspondingly, the network device determines the RA-RNTI according to the second request message, and may record “the RA-RNTI determined according to the second request message” as “ Second RA-RNTI";

S203. The network device sends a second RAR message according to the second RA-RNTI.

S204. The second terminal device determines, according to the preamble information and the indication information carried in the second RAR message, that the second RAR message is a RAR message that belongs to the user, and the second terminal device stops monitoring. Listen to your own RAR message;

For the first terminal device, the network device sending the second RAR message may include at least the following two situations:

Case 1: The first RA-RNTI and the second RA-RNTI are different, and the first terminal device cannot receive the second RAR message.

Case 2: The first RA-RNTI is the same as the second RA-RNTI, and the first terminal device and the second terminal device may receive the second RAR message, where the first terminal device needs to be according to the indication information in the second RAR message. And the preamble information determines whether the second RAR message belongs to the first terminal device. If the first terminal device determines that the second RAR message belongs to the first terminal device, the first terminal device may process according to the second RAR message; if the first terminal device determines that the second RAR message does not belong to the first A terminal device, the first terminal device needs to continue to listen to RAR messages belonging to the first terminal device.

Specifically, in case two, the method 200 can include:

S205: The first terminal device determines, according to the preamble information and the indication information that is carried by the second RAR message, that the second RAR message does not belong to the first terminal device, and the first terminal device needs to continue to monitor the RAR message that belongs to the first terminal device, where The indication information carried by the second RAR message is different from the indication information corresponding to the first request message.

Specifically, the indication information carried by the RAR message may include at least one of the following types of indication information:

the first sort,

The first type of indication information includes second resource information of resources occupied by the random access request message.

For example, the indication information carried by the first RAR includes the second resource information of the resource occupied by the first request message, and the indication information carried by the second RAR includes the second resource information of the resource occupied by the second request message.

As an optional example, if the RA-RNTI is determined by the method 1, the domain types of the first resource information and the second resource information are different.

For example, the first resource information is used to indicate that the random access request message occupies the frequency domain resource, and the second resource information is used to indicate the time domain resource occupied by the random access request message. That is, the network device and the terminal device determine the RA-RNTI according to the first resource information of the resource occupied by the random access request message, and the first resource information is used to indicate the frequency domain resource occupied by the random access request message, and the second resource information A time domain resource used to indicate that the random access request message is occupied.

Optionally, the second resource information may be used to indicate at least one of a start location of a time domain resource occupied by the random access request message and an end location of a time domain resource occupied by the random access request message.

For example, the second resource information is specifically used to indicate at least one of the following information:

1a. The number of the first subframe occupied by the random access request message;

For example, the indication information carried by the first RAR message includes the second resource information, where the second resource information is used to indicate the number of the first subframe occupied by the first request message, and the second resource information carried by the second RAR message is used for Indicates the number of the first subframe occupied by the second request message.

1b, the number of the first time slot or the first mini time slot occupied by the random access request message;

1c. The number of the last subframe occupied by the random access request message;

1d. The number of the last time slot or the last mini time slot occupied by the random access request message.

For a description of 1b, 1c, and 1d, refer to the related description of 1a, and details are not described herein for brevity.

The frequency domain resource and the time domain resource can be separated by the first type of indication information. For example, determining the RA-RNTI by using the frequency domain resource occupied by the random access request message, and determining the indication information by using the time domain resource occupied by the random access request message, the method may enable the first terminal device to accurately determine the RAR message that belongs to itself. At the same time, the method can reduce the complexity of receiving the RAR message by the first terminal device.

For example, if the indication information includes 1a, the frequency domain resources occupied by the first request message and the second request message are all A, and the first preamble and the second preamble are both B, and the first request message occupies the first. The number of the subframe is N (N ≥ 0), and the number of the first subframe occupied by the second request message is M (M ≥ 0, and M ≠ N), and the network device sends the second request message and then sends the second a RAR message, the second RAR message includes information and a number M of the second preamble B, and the first terminal device and the second terminal device send the random access request message using the same frequency domain resource, the first terminal device and the second terminal device The terminal device can receive (listen to) the second RAR message. Since the number M is different from the number N, the first terminal device determines that the second RAR message does not belong to itself, and the first terminal device continues to listen to the RAR message belonging to itself. If the first terminal device listens to the information including the first preamble B and the first RAR message of the number M, the first terminal device determines that the first RAR message belongs to the first terminal device.

As an optional example, if the RA-RNTI is determined by using the mode 2, the granularity of the resource indicated by the first resource information and the second resource information is different, and the granularity of the resource indicated by the first resource information is greater than The granularity of the resource indicated by the second resource information.

For example, the first resource information is used to indicate that the random access request message (for example, the first request message) occupies a frequency domain resource and a time domain resource, and the second resource information is used to indicate that the random access request message (first request message) is occupied. The time domain resource, the granularity of the time domain resource indicated by the first resource information is greater than the granularity of the time domain resource indicated by the second resource information.

It should be noted that the granularity in the embodiment of the present invention may refer to a unit size of a resource. For example, taking the time domain resource as an example, the granularity of the radio frame is greater than the granularity of the subframe, and the granularity of the subframe is greater than the granularity of the slot. The granularity can also reflect the accuracy of the time domain resource. In other words, the accuracy of the time domain resource indicated by the second resource information is higher than the accuracy of the time domain resource indicated by the first resource information.

For example, the first resource information is used to indicate the information of the radio frame occupied by the random access request message, and the second resource information is used to indicate the information of the subframe occupied by the random access request message.

For another example, the first resource information is used to indicate information about a subframe occupied by the random access request message, and the second resource information is used to indicate information of a time slot (or mini slot) occupied by the random access request message.

The complexity of receiving the RAR message and the number of times the RAR message is received can be balanced by the second type of indication information. Specifically, the first terminal device may first receive a part of the RAR message according to the frequency domain resource occupied by the random access request message and the large-area time domain resource, and may reduce the complexity of receiving the RAR message and the number of times the RAR message is received, the first terminal. The device then determines its own RAR message (ie, the first RAR message) according to the small-grained time domain resource, which is beneficial for the first terminal device to accurately identify the RAR message that belongs to itself.

For example, the first terminal device sends the first request message A, the first request message B, and the third request message C through three beams, and the first request message A, the first request message B, and the third request message C occupy the same frequency. a domain resource and a radio frame, and the first subframes occupied by the three first request messages are numbered 1, 2, and 3, respectively, and the three first request messages correspond to the same RA-RNTI, and the first terminal device may According to the RA-RNTI receiving any one of the three first request messages (without attempting multiple RA-RNTIs), the complexity of receiving the RAR message can be reduced. The second resource information for accurately indicating the time domain resource of the first request message is carried by the first RAR message, which is advantageous for the first terminal device to accurately identify the RAR message belonging to itself.

It should be noted that the smaller the granularity of the time domain resource indicated by the second resource information is, the higher the accuracy is. The higher the accuracy of the RAR message is determined by the terminal device, the efficiency of the random access can be effectively improved, and the efficiency is avoided. Perform a meaningless random competition process.

For example, the frequency domain resource and the starting subframe used by the random access request message are still determined. The RA-RNTI, the indication information included in the first RAR message is the number of the time slot occupied by the first request message, and the method can improve the accuracy of the first terminal device determining the own RAR message, so that the first terminal device can efficiently Perform a random access process.

The second category,

The second type of information indicating that the second resource information occupied by the random access request message is a function value of the variable.

For example, the indication information carried by the first RAR includes information of a function value of the second resource information of the resource occupied by the first request message, and the indication information carried by the second RAR includes the second resource occupied by the second request message. The resource information is information of the function value of the variable.

For example, the second resource information is used to indicate a time domain resource, and the indication information may be used to indicate at least one of the following information:

2a, the difference between the number of the first subframe occupied by the RAR message and the number of the first subframe occupied by the random access request message;

For example, the indication information carried by the first RAR message is used to indicate a difference between the number of the first subframe occupied by the first RAR message and the number of the first subframe occupied by the first request message, and the second RAR message The carried indication information is used to indicate a difference between a number of the first subframe occupied by the second RAR message and a number of the first subframe occupied by the first request message.

2b, the difference between the number of the first time slot occupied by the RAR message and the number of the first time slot occupied by the random access request message, or the number and random number of the first mini time slot occupied by the RAR message The difference between the numbers of the first minislot occupied by the access request message;

2c, the difference between the number of the last subframe occupied by the RAR message and the number of the last subframe occupied by the random access request message;

2d, the difference between the number of the last slot occupied by the RAR message and the number of the last slot occupied by the random access request message, or the number of the last mini slot occupied by the RAR message and the random number The difference between the numbers of the last minislot occupied by the access request message.

For descriptions of 2b, 2c, and 2d, refer to the related description of 2a, and details are not described herein for brevity.

After receiving the RAR message, the first terminal device may determine, according to the indication information in the RAR message, the information of the time domain resource occupied by the random access request message corresponding to the RAR message, and determine the information of the determined time domain resource and send the information by itself. Whether the information of the time domain resource of the random access request message is the same, if the same, determining that the RAR message belongs to itself, if different, determining the RAR cancellation The information does not belong to itself and continues to listen to its own RAR message.

For example, if the indication information includes 2a, the first request message and the second request message occupy the same frequency domain resource A, the first preamble and the second preamble are both B, and the first subframe occupied by the first request message The number is N (N ≥ 0), the number of the first subframe occupied by the second request message is M (M ≥ 0, and M ≠ N), and the network device receives the second request message at the Kth (N ≤ K). And the second RAR message carries the information of the second preamble B and the difference KM, and the first terminal device determines, according to the difference KM, the random connection corresponding to the second RAR message. The number of the first subframe occupied by the incoming request message is M, and the first terminal device may determine that the second RAR message does not belong to the first terminal device. If the first RAR message is received by the first terminal device, the first RAR message carries the information of the first preamble B and the difference KN, and the first terminal device determines, according to the difference KN, the random access corresponding to the second RAR message. The number of the first subframe occupied by the request message is N, and the first terminal device determines that the random access request message corresponding to the first RAR message is the same as the preamble information and the occupied resource information of the first request message. The first terminal device determines that the first RAR message belongs to the first terminal device.

The third category,

The third type of indication information includes information other than the random access preamble carried by the random access request message.

Specifically, the third type of indication information may include at least one of the following information:

Location information of the terminal device;

For example, the first request message carries the location information of the first terminal device, the first RAR carries the location information of the first terminal device, the second request message carries the location information of the second terminal device, and the second RAR carries the second terminal device. Location information.

Identification information of the terminal device;

For example, the first request message carries the identifier information of the first terminal device, the first RAR carries the identifier information of the first terminal device, the second request message carries the identifier information of the second terminal device, and the second RAR carries the second terminal device. Identification information.

Beam information of the terminal device;

The timestamp of the random access request message. For example, the first RAR message carries the sending timestamp of the first request message, and the second RAR message carries the sending timestamp of the second request message.

The sending timestamp may include a sequence of characters, which is used to identify a sending time of the random access request message, and the sending timestamp may also be a specific sending time (for example, 12:15 Beijing time) Minutes 50 seconds). The transmission timestamp may also be part of the information at the time of transmission (eg, 50s).

Optionally, if the RAR message carries the third type of indication information, the msg2 message and the msg3 in the existing LTE system may be fused, which can save signaling overhead and improve the efficiency of random access of the terminal device.

For example, the first request message sent by the first terminal device carries the first preamble and the identifier information of the first terminal device, and if the RAR message received by the first terminal device includes the first preamble and the identifier information, the first The terminal device may determine that the RAR message belongs to the first terminal device, and further, the first terminal device may further determine that the first terminal device competes successfully in the random access process.

In the above, three types of indication information carried by the RAR message are described. Specifically, after receiving the RAR message, the first terminal device determines whether the indication information and the preamble information carried in the RAR message match the random request message sent by the first terminal device. If the matching, the first terminal device determines that the RAR message belongs to itself. A mismatch determines that the RAR message does not belong to itself.

For example, if the random access preamble indicated by the preamble information carried in the RAR message is the same as the first preamble carried in the first request message, the preamble information matches the first request message. Otherwise, it does not match.

For another example, if the indication information includes the resource information, and the resource information is the same as the second resource information of the resource occupied by the first request message, or the indication information includes the second resource information of the resource occupied by the first request message, For example, the resource information included in the indication information is the number of the first subframe occupied by the first request message, and the resource information included in the indication information matches the first request message, and vice versa.

For another example, if the RAR message carries the information of the function value, and the information of the function value is the same as the information of the function value of the variable of the second resource information of the resource occupied by the first request message (or the indication information includes the first request message) The second resource information of the occupied resource is information of a function value of the variable. For example, the information of the function value included in the indication information is the same as the information of the function value determined by the first terminal device according to the first request message and the received RAR message. The information of the function value included in the indication information matches the first request message, and vice versa.

For example, if the indication information includes location information, and the location information is the same as the location information of the first terminal device carried by the first request message (or the indication information includes location information of the first terminal device), the indication information includes The location information matches the first request message, and vice versa.

For another example, if the indication information includes the identifier information, and the identifier information is carried by the first request message The identifier information of the first terminal device is the same (or the indication information includes the identifier information of the first terminal device), and the indication information includes the identifier information that matches the first request message, and vice versa.

For example, if the indication information includes a sending timestamp, and the sending timestamp is the same as the sending timestamp of the first terminal device carried by the first request message, the indication information includes a sending timestamp of the first request message, The indication information includes that the sending timestamp matches the first request message, and vice versa.

It should be noted that, if any one of the indication information and the preamble information does not match the random access request message, the terminal device determines that the RAR message does not belong to itself.

Optionally, the indication information may be carried in a MAC subheader of the RAR message. 3 is a schematic diagram of a MAC subheader suitable for use in an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in Figure 3, the MAC subheader of the RAR message includes the following fields:

Extended field (E);

Type field (T)

Random access preamble ID (RAPID);

The indication information may be carried in one of the fields included in the MAC subheader.

Optionally, the indication information may be carried in a MAC RAR of the RAR message. 4 is a schematic diagram of an example of a MAC RAR applicable to an embodiment of the present invention. This figure 4 is mainly for the MAC RAR of a normal user. FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of another example of a MAC RAR applicable to an embodiment of the present invention. This FIG. 5 is mainly for the MAC RAR of the coverage enhanced type user. As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the MAC RAR includes at least the following fields:

Reserved bit (R);

Timing Advance Command;

Indicates the resource (UL grant) used when uplink msg3 is sent;

Temporary C-RNTI.

The indication information may be carried in one of the fields included in the MCA RAR. Optionally, the network device may further add an extension field in the MAC RAR, where the extension field is specifically used to carry the indication information.

Therefore, in the prior art, the RAR message carries the indication information and the preamble information in the RID message according to the index of the random access preamble carried in the RAR message. It has high compatibility and can be applied to multiple application scenarios, which is beneficial for the terminal device to accurately determine its own RAR message.
