Abstract

Sont divulgués un procédé d'amélioration de couverture, un dispositif réseau et un terminal, qui se rapportent au domaine des communications. Le procédé est appliqué à un flux d'accès aléatoire d'un terminal et comprend les étapes suivantes : un terminal envoie un premier message à un dispositif réseau, le premier message comprenant un préambule d'accès aléatoire ; le terminal reçoit un deuxième message envoyé par le dispositif réseau, le deuxième message étant utilisé pour indiquer des ressources, dont les domaines temporels PUSCH sont répétés, du terminal et les ressources, dont les domaines temporels PUSCH sont répétés, sont indiquées au moyen d'un champ réservé ou d'un champ de remplissage dans le deuxième message ; en réponse au deuxième message et à des positions temps-fréquence des ressources PUSCH qui sont indiquées par les ressources, dont les domaines temporels PUSCH sont répétés, le terminal envoie de manière répétée un troisième message au dispositif réseau en fonction du nombre de répétitions indiquées par les ressources, dont les domaines temporels PUSCH sont répétés, le troisième message étant une requête de connexion de contrôle des ressources radio (RRC) ; et le terminal reçoit un quatrième message envoyé par le dispositif réseau, le quatrième message concernant l'établissement de connexion RRC. Le procédé permet d'augmenter la plage de couverture d'une transmission en liaison montante de PUSCH d'un terminal dans un flux d'accès aléatoire, augmentant ainsi la plage de couverture de l'accès aléatoire du terminal.
