Abstract

A random access method, base station, and terminal, where a base station detects a first preamble value, and generates at least two random access response messages based on the first preamble value. At least one random access response message includes a second preamble value, and at least one random access response message includes a third preamble value, where the second preamble value is the same as the first preamble value, and the third preamble value is a preamble value obtained after the base station adds a preset accumulation number to the first preamble value. The base station then sends the at least two random access response messages to a terminal.

Claims

1. A random access method, applied to a contention-based access process, comprising:

detecting, by a base station, a first preamble value;

generating, by the base station based on the first preamble value, at least two random access response messages, wherein the at least two random access response messages comprise a first random access response message and a second random access response message, the first random access response message comprises a second preamble value, and the second random access response message comprises a third preamble value, wherein the second preamble value is the same as the first preamble value, and the third preamble value is a preamble value obtained after the base station adds a preset accumulation number to the first preamble value; and

the at least two random access response messages each carry instruction information of an uplink resource allocated by the base station to a terminal; and

sending, by the base station, the at least two random access response messages to the terminal.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein before the generating, by the base station based on the first preamble value, at least two random access response messages, the method further comprises:

determining, by the base station, the detected first preamble value as a preamble value retransmitted by the terminal

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the first random access response message further comprises a first timing advance (TA) value and the second random access response message further comprises a second TA value, wherein the first TA value corresponds to the second preamble value, the second TA value corresponds to the third preamble value, and the second TA value is related to the preset accumulation number and a first cyclic shift Ncs, wherein the first Ncs is an Ncs used by the base station to detect the first preamble value.

9. The method according to claim 1, wherein the base station comprises a serving cell configured to send a signal to the terminal or receive the signal from the terminal, the method further comprising:

when the terminal is beyond a radius of the serving cell and accesses the base station, considering, by the base station, a detected preamble ID within an Ncs (Ncscyclic) interval, generating, by the base station, a corrected preamble ID, and sending, by the base station, the detected preamble ID and the corrected preamble ID to the terminal.

4. A base station comprising:

a processor; and

a non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program to be executed by the processor, the program comprises instructions for;

detecting a first preamble value;

generating at least two random access response messages based on the first preamble value, wherein the at least two random access response messages comprise a first random access response message and a second random access response message, the first random access response message comprises a second preamble value, and the second random access response message comprises a third preamble value, wherein the second preamble value is the same as the first preamble value, and the third preamble value is a preamble value obtained after the base station adds a preset accumulation number to the first preamble value; and

the at least two random access response messages each carry instruction information of an uplink resource allocated by the base station to a terminal; and

sending the at least two random access response messages to the terminal.

5. The base station according to claim 4, wherein the program further comprises instructions for

before generating the at least two random access response messages based on the first preamble value, determining that the detected first preamble value is a preamble value retransmitted by the terminal.

6. The base station according to claim 4, wherein the first random access response message further comprises a first timing advance (TA) value and the second random access message further comprises a second TA value, wherein the first TA value corresponds to the second preamble value, the second TA value corresponds to the third preamble value, and the second TA value is related to the preset accumulation number and a first cyclic shift Ncs, wherein the first Ncs is an Ncs used by the detection unit to detect the first preamble value.

10. The base station according to claim 5, wherein the base station comprises a serving cell configured to send a signal to the terminal or receive the signal from the terminal, wherein when the terminal is beyond a radius of the serving cell and accesses the base station, the base station considers a detected preamble ID within an Ncs (Ncscyclic) interval, generates a corrected preamble ID, and sends the detected preamble ID and the corrected preamble ID to the terminal.

7. A terminal comprising:

a processor; and

a non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program to be executed by the processor, the program comprises instructions for;

sending a first preamble value to a base station;

receiving at least two random access response messages from the base station, wherein the at least two random access response messages each comprise a different preamble value, and the at least two random access response messages each carry instruction information of an uplink resource allocated by the base station to the terminal; and

determining a target random access response message, wherein a preamble value comprised in the target random access response message is the same as the first preamble value.

8. The terminal according to claim 7, wherein the at least two random access response messages further each comprise a different timing advance (TA) value;

and

the program further comprises instructions for;

sending, based on a TA value in the target random access response message, an uplink message to the base station by using the uplink resource.
