In order for the terminal device to determine how to transmit the random access message when the terminal device supports the repeated transmission of the random access message by using the same transmission beam, and supports the repeated transmission of the random access message by using different transmission beams, the present application provides A random access method, device, chip and module equipment. The random access method, device, chip, and module device provided in the embodiments of the present application are further described in detail below.

Fig. 2 is a schematic flowchart of a random access method provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 2 , the random access method includes step 201 as follows. The execution subject of the method shown in FIG. 2 may be a terminal device and a network device. Alternatively, the execution subject of the method shown in FIG. 2 may be a chip in the terminal device and a chip in the network device. Figure 2 uses terminal equipment and network equipment as the execution subject of the method as an example for illustration.

201. During the initial random access process, the terminal device uses the same transmission beam to repeatedly transmit the random access message, or the terminal device uses different transmission beams to repeatedly transmit the random access message, or the terminal device sends the random access message once. Correspondingly, the network device can receive the random access message transmitted by the terminal device. Wherein, the random access information may refer to a physical random access channel (physical random access channel, PRACH), or Message-1 (Msg.1), or a Preamble sequence.

For the convenience of the following description, the terminal device uses the same transmission beam to repeatedly transmit the random access message as transmission method 1, and the terminal device uses different transmission beams to repeatedly transmit the random access message as transmission method 2, and the terminal device sends the random access message once The random access message is referred to as transmission mode 3.

In a possible implementation, during the initial random access process, the terminal device may adopt transmission mode 1 by default. Alternatively, during the initial random access process, the terminal device may adopt transmission mode 2 by default. Alternatively, during the initial random access process, the terminal device may adopt transmission mode 3 by default. During the initial access process, the network device does not know the capability information of the terminal device, that is, the network device does not know which random access message transmission modes the terminal device supports. Therefore, the network device cannot indicate to the terminal device which method the terminal device should use to send the random access message for initial random access. Therefore, the terminal device may adopt transmission mode 1, transmission mode 2 or transmission mode 3 by default during the initial random access process.

In a possible implementation, the network device may also send a system message to the terminal device, and the system message indicates: the same sending beam is used to repeatedly transmit the random access message during the initial random access process, or, The random access message is transmitted repeatedly by using different sending beams, or the random access message is sent once during the initial random access process. Correspondingly, the terminal device may also receive the system message sent by the network device. During the initial random access process, the terminal device sends a random access message based on the sending mode indicated by the system message. Based on this possible implementation, the terminal device can send the random access message more flexibly during the initial random access process.

In this possible implementation, the network device defaults that the terminal device supports at least two of transmission mode 1, transmission mode 2, and transmission mode 3.

Assuming that the network device defaults that the terminal device supports transmission mode 1 and transmission mode 2, the network device can instruct the terminal device to use transmission mode 1 or transmission mode 2 through a system message.

Assuming that the network device defaults that the terminal device supports transmission mode 1 and transmission mode 3, the network device can instruct the terminal device to use transmission mode 1 or transmission mode 3 through the system message.

Assuming that the network device defaults that the terminal device supports transmission mode 2 and transmission mode 3, the network device can instruct the terminal device to use transmission mode 2 or transmission mode 3 through a system message.

Assuming that the network device defaults that the terminal device supports transmission mode 1, transmission mode 2, and transmission mode 3, the network device can instruct the terminal device to use transmission mode 1, transmission mode 2, or transmission mode 3 through a system message.

1. The following introduces the specific implementation of the system message instructing the terminal device to use sending method 1 or sending method 2:

Mode 1: Instruct the terminal device to adopt the transmission mode 1 or the transmission mode 2 in the system message.

For example, when the system message includes the identifier of the transmission mode 1, the terminal device is instructed to adopt the transmission mode 1; when the system message includes the identification of the transmission mode 2, the terminal device is instructed to adopt the transmission mode 2.

Mode 2: implicitly instruct the terminal device to adopt transmission mode 1 or transmission mode 2 in the system message.

For example, when the first random access resource is configured in the system information, the system information indicates that the same transmission beam is used to repeatedly transmit the random access message in the initial random access process (that is, the transmission mode 1 is used); the second random access resource is configured in the system information. When accessing resources randomly, the system message indicates that different transmission beams are used to repeatedly transmit random access messages during the initial random access process (that is, transmission mode 2 is used); wherein, the first random access resource is to use the same transmission beam to repeatedly transmit random access messages. The random access resource used by the access message, and the second random access resource is a random access resource used for repeated transmission of the random access message by using different transmission beams.

The method of implicitly instructing the terminal device to send the random access message is beneficial to reduce the indication overhead.

2. The following introduces the specific implementation of the system message instructing the terminal device to use sending method 1 or sending method 3:

Mode 1: Instruct the terminal device to adopt transmission mode 1 or transmission mode 3 in a system message.

For example, when the system message includes the identifier of the transmission mode 1, the terminal device is instructed to adopt the transmission mode 1; when the system message includes the identification of the transmission mode 3, the terminal device is instructed to adopt the transmission mode 3.

Mode 2: implicitly instruct the terminal device to adopt transmission mode 1 or transmission mode 3 in the system message.

For example, when the first random access resource is configured in the system information, the system information indicates that the same transmission beam is used to repeatedly transmit the random access message in the initial random access process (that is, the transmission mode 1 is used); the system information is not configured with the first random access resource. When a random access resource is used, the system message indicates that a random access message is to be sent once during the initial random access process (that is, the transmission method 2 is adopted); wherein, the first random access resource is to use the same transmission beam to repeatedly transmit the random access message The random access resources used.

3. The following introduces the specific implementation of the system message instructing the terminal device to use the sending method 2 or the sending method 3:

Mode 1: Instruct the terminal device to adopt transmission mode 2 or transmission mode 3 in a system message.

For example, when the system message includes the identifier of the transmission mode 2, the terminal device is instructed to adopt the transmission mode 2; when the system message includes the identification of the transmission mode 3, the terminal device is instructed to adopt the transmission mode 3.

Mode 2: implicitly instruct the terminal device to adopt transmission mode 2 or transmission mode 3 in the system message.

For example, when the second random access resource is configured in the system information, the system information indicates that different transmission beams are used to repeatedly transmit the random access message during the initial random access process (that is, the transmission mode 2 is used); the system information does not configure the second random access resource. When the second random access resource is used, the system message indicates that a random access message is sent once during the initial random access process (that is, the transmission method 3 is adopted); the second random access resource is used for repeated transmission of random access messages using different transmission beams Random access to resources.

4. The following will introduce the specific implementation of the system message instructing the terminal device to use sending method 1, sending method 2, or sending method 3:

Mode 1: Instruct the terminal device to adopt transmission mode 1, transmission mode 2, or transmission mode 3 in a system message.

For example, when the system message includes the identification of transmission mode 1, the terminal device is instructed to adopt transmission mode 1; when the system message includes the identification of transmission mode 2, the terminal device is instructed to adopt transmission mode 2; when the system message includes the identification of transmission mode 3 , instructing the terminal device to adopt sending mode 3.

Mode 2: implicitly instruct the terminal device to adopt transmission mode 1, transmission mode 2, or transmission mode 3 in the system message.

For example, when the first random access resource is configured in the system information, the system information indicates that the same transmission beam is used to repeatedly transmit the random access message in the initial random access process (that is, the transmission mode 1 is used); the second random access resource is configured in the system information. When accessing resources randomly, the system message indicates that different transmission beams are used to repeatedly transmit random access messages during the initial random access process (that is, transmission mode 2 is used); the first random access resource and the second random access resource are not configured in the system message. When accessing resources, the system message indicates to send a random access message once during the initial random access process (that is, adopt sending mode 3). Wherein, the first random access resource is a random access resource used for repeatedly transmitting a random access message by using the same transmission beam, and the second random access resource is a random access resource used for repeatedly transmitting a random access message by using a different transmission beam.

In a possible implementation, the system message may be a system information block (system information block, SIB) or a master information block (master information block, MIB).

It can be seen that, based on the method described in Figure 2, when the terminal device not only supports the repeated transmission of the random access message by using the same transmission beam, but also supports the repeated transmission of the random access message by using different transmission beams, the terminal device can determine how to transmit the random access message Random access messages.

Fig. 3 is a schematic flowchart of a random access method provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 3 , the random access method includes the following steps 301 and 302 . The execution subject of the method shown in FIG. 3 may be a terminal device and a network device. Alternatively, the execution subject of the method shown in FIG. 3 may be a chip in the terminal device and a chip in the network device. FIG. 3 is illustrated by taking the terminal device and the network device as execution bodies of the method as examples.

301. The network device sends RRC signaling to the terminal device, and the RRC signaling indicates that the terminal device uses the same transmission beam to repeatedly transmit random access messages during the non-initial random access process, or instructs the terminal device to repeatedly transmit random access messages during the non-initial random access process. In this method, different transmission beams are used to repeatedly transmit random access messages. Correspondingly, the terminal device can receive the RRC signaling.

302. In a non-initial random access process, the terminal device sends a random access message based on RRC signaling. Correspondingly, the network device can receive the random access message.

For example, if the RRC signaling indicates that the terminal device uses the same transmission beam to repeatedly transmit the random access message in the non-initial random access process, then in the non-initial random access process, the terminal device uses the same transmission beam to repeatedly transmit the random access message . If the RRC signaling indicates that the terminal device uses different transmission beams to repeatedly transmit the random access message during the non-initial random access process, then the terminal device uses different transmission beams to repeatedly transmit the random access message during the non-initial random access process.

In the embodiment of the present application, after the initial random access, the terminal device may report its capability information to the network device through high-layer signaling. In this way, the network device can know that the terminal device supports the repeated transmission of random access messages using the same transmission beam, and supports the repeated transmission of random access messages using different transmission beams, so that the network device can indicate to the terminal device that in the non-initial random access process Which sending method is selected to send the random access message. Alternatively, the terminal device does not need to report the capability information. The network device can default that the terminal device supports repeated transmission of random access messages using the same sending beam, and supports repeated transmission of random access messages using different sending beams.

Based on the method described in FIG. 3 , the terminal device can send the random access message more flexibly during the non-initial random access process.

Fig. 4 is a schematic flowchart of a random access method provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 4 , the random access method includes the following step 401 . The execution subject of the method shown in FIG. 4 may be a terminal device and a network device. Alternatively, the execution subject of the method shown in FIG. 4 may be a chip in the terminal device and a chip in the network device. FIG. 4 uses a terminal device and a network device as execution subjects of the method as examples for illustration.

401. The terminal device measures multiple reference signals, and obtains multiple reference signal measurement results.

Wherein, the measurement result may be reference signal receiving power (reference signal receiving power, RSRP), or other reference signal measurement results, which are not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

Optionally, the reference signal may be a synchronous signal block (synchronous signal block, SSB) or a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-reference signal, CSI-RS).

402. During the random access process, the terminal device repeatedly transmits a random access message by using the same or different sending beams based on the maximum value among the multiple reference signal measurement results.
