For example, when voice or video service is performed, due to coverage degradation, the base station configures the terminal to be converted from a normal mode (normal mode) to a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) enhanced mode (enhanced mode), so that the terminal obtains better coverage in the enhanced mode. For another example, the base station configures, according to the capability of the terminal and the service type of the terminal, that the terminal is converted from a traditional (legacy) Transmission Time Interval (TTI) mode to a shortened TTI mode, thereby obtaining a shorter service delay.

Hereinafter, some terms in the present application are explained to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art.
1) A terminal, also called a User Equipment (UE), is a device providing voice and/or data connectivity to a User, for example, a handheld device with a wireless connection function, a vehicle-mounted device, and so on. Common terminals include, for example: the mobile phone includes a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a palm computer, a Mobile Internet Device (MID), and a wearable device such as a smart watch, a smart bracelet, a pedometer, and the like.
2) The network device may be a common base station (e.g., a Node B or an eNB), may be a New Radio controller (NR controller), may be a gNode B (gNB) in a 5G system, may be a Centralized network element (Centralized Unit), may be a New Radio base station, may be a Radio remote module, may be a micro base station, may be a relay (relay), may be a Distributed network element (Distributed Unit), may be a Reception Point (Transmission Reception Point, TRP) or a Transmission Point (Transmission Point, TP), or any other wireless access device, but the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto.
3) Message 3(Msg3), message sent by the terminal to the base station in step three of the contention-based random access procedure. The Msg3 may be an L2 message or an L3 message, the L2 message may be a Media Access Control (MAC) Control cell, and the L3 message may be an RRC message (RRC connection setup request, RRC connection re-establishment, or the like), which is the first uplink data sent by the terminal on the uplink traffic channel.
Of course, the message 3 may also refer to the first uplink data transmitted by the terminal to the base station in the non-contention random access.
4) And the enhancement mode is a mode for enhancing the signal coverage, transmission delay, power consumption, transmission rate and the like of the terminal relative to the normal mode so as to fulfill the aims of meeting the service requirement, improving the service experience, improving the system capacity and the like.
The embodiment of the application can be applied to competitive random access and non-competitive random access. Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating a contention random access procedure in the prior art.
S101: the terminal sends a Random Access preamble (preamble) to the network device, where the preamble is sent on a Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) PRACH Channel. This message may also be referred to as message 1(Msg 1).
S102: the network device replies a Random Access Response (RAR) message to the terminal.
This message may also be referred to as message 2(Msg 2).
S103: the terminal sends Msg3 to the network device, Msg3 may be a L2 message or a L3 message.
The L2 message may be a MAC control information element, and the L3 message may be an RRC connection setup request message or an RRC connection re-setup message.
S104: the network device feeds back a contention resolution message, which may be an RRC message (e.g., RRC connection setup, etc.), to the terminal, which may also be referred to as message 4(Msg 4).
The above process is contention random access, and in the process, the network device cannot identify the terminal according to the preamble.

S201: and the network equipment allocates preamble for the terminal.
S202: and the terminal sends a random access preamble to the network equipment, wherein the preamble is sent on the PRACH channel.

In the above flow, for non-contention random access, a random access preamble initiated by a terminal is allocated by a network device station, and the network device can identify the terminal after receiving a preamble sent by the terminal, and can schedule the terminal by using the stored configuration of the terminal.
With reference to fig. 3, a flowchart of a random access method according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. The method comprises the following steps:
s301: the network equipment determines that a terminal accesses the network equipment in a random access mode, wherein the terminal is a terminal which is converted from a normal mode to an enhanced mode.
S302: and the network equipment sends enhanced mode information to the terminal, wherein the enhanced mode information is used for indicating the terminal to access the network equipment according to the enhanced mode information in the random access process.
S303: and the terminal receives the enhanced mode information sent by the network equipment.
S304: and the terminal accesses the network equipment in a random access mode according to the enhanced mode information.
Before S301, the terminal is switched from the normal mode to the enhanced mode. For example, when the terminal performs a voice or video service, the network device configures the terminal to switch from the normal mode to the enhanced mode due to poor coverage, so that the terminal obtains better coverage in the enhanced mode. For another example, the network device configures the terminal to be converted from the conventional TTI mode to the short TTI mode according to the capability of the terminal and the service type of the terminal, so as to obtain a shorter service delay. For another example, the network device may also configure the terminal to switch from one subcarrier spacing to another subcarrier spacing, thereby obtaining different rates and service experiences.
Of course, the above is only an example, and the terminal may also switch from the normal mode to the enhanced mode in other cases, which is not illustrated herein one by one.
In S301, after determining that the terminal has uplink out-of-step, the network device may determine that the terminal needs to re-access the network device in a random access manner. At this time, the network device may instruct the terminal to initiate non-contention random access through a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) command (order), so that the terminal performs uplink synchronization again.
The network equipment indicates the terminal to initiate non-competitive random access, and for the non-competitive random access, the network equipment can identify the terminal, so that the terminal can continue to use the enhanced mode in the random access process.
In order to enable the terminal to access the network device in the enhanced mode in a non-contention random access manner, in S302, the network device needs to send enhanced mode information to the terminal.
In an embodiment of the present application, the enhanced mode information may include one or more of the following:
the repetition times of the message 3 are used for indicating the maximum times of repeatedly sending the message 3 by the terminal in the random access process;
the length of the TTI, which is used for indicating the length of the TTI used when the terminal sends the message 3 in the random access process;
a subcarrier interval, which is used for indicating the subcarrier interval used when the terminal sends the message 3 in the random access process;
the PRACH repetition times;
and indicating the time-frequency resource occupied by the PRACH by the time-frequency resource indicating information of the PRACH.
The network device may send the enhanced mode information to the terminal in a variety of ways.
In a first possible implementation manner, the network device may send the enhanced mode information to the terminal through a PDCCH order.
For example, the enhanced mode information includes PRACH repetition times and time-frequency resource indication information of the PRACH, and the network device may send the PRACH repetition times and the time-frequency resource indication information of the PRACH through the PDCCH order. Specifically, the Network device may add m bits to a Downlink Control Information (DCI) format (format)1A scrambled by a Cell Radio Network Temporary Identifier (C-RNTI) in the PDCCH for transmitting PRACH repetition times; meanwhile, the network equipment can increase n bits in DCI format 1A scrambled by C-RNTI in PDCCH for transmitting time frequency resource indication information of PRACH, wherein m and n are positive integers more than 0.
In a second possible implementation manner, the network device may send the enhanced mode information to the terminal through a RAR message.
Specifically, the network device may send the enhanced mode information to the terminal through an Uplink (UL) grant (grant) in the RAR message.
The format of the existing UL grant can be as shown in table 1:
TABLE 1
Figure BDA0001218690600000081
Figure BDA0001218690600000091
For example, the enhanced mode information includes the number of repetitions of the message 3, and the network device may redefine a "transmission power control command for physical uplink shared channel" field in the UL grant of the RAR message, and change the redefined "transmission power control command for physical uplink shared channel" field into a "number of repetitions of the message 3" field to indicate the number of repetitions of the message 3. At this time, the format of the UL grant may be as shown in table 2:
TABLE 2
Figure BDA0001218690600000092
In conjunction with the above description, when using the coverage enhanced voice technology, if the terminal is abnormal and uplink is out of step, the network device may notify the terminal of the number of repetitions of the message 3 in the above manner, so as to enable the terminal to use the number of repetitions to transmit the message 3 when transmitting the message 3.
In this embodiment of the present application, the format of the existing UL grant may also be modified, and a field of the number of repetitions of message 3 is added to the format of the existing UL grant, so that the number of repetitions of message 3 is indicated to the terminal through the field of the number of repetitions of message 3. For example, the format of the existing UL grant can also be shown in table 3:
TABLE 3
Figure BDA0001218690600000093
Figure BDA0001218690600000101
For transmitting the enhanced mode information, in combination with the format of the UL grant described in table 1, fields such as the narrowband index value of the message 3 on the PUSCH, resource allocation of the message 3 on the PUSCH, transmission power control, the narrowband index value of the machine type communication physical downlink control channel of the message 3 or the message 4, and the complementary 0 bit may be deleted, and the fixed-size resource block assignment field and the repetition number field of the message 3 are added, so as to obtain the format of the UL grant shown in table 4:
TABLE 4
Figure BDA0001218690600000102
For another example, the enhanced mode information includes the length of TTI or subcarrier spacing of message 3, the network device uses k bits in the "fixed size resource block assignment" in the UL grant to indicate the length of TTI or subcarrier spacing, k being an integer greater than 0 and less than 10. At this time, the format of the UL grant may be as shown in table 5:
TABLE 5
Figure BDA0001218690600000103
Figure BDA0001218690600000111
With reference to the above description, in a scenario of a short TTI mode, the length of the TTI may be transmitted by using the above method; in the mode scenario of subcarrier spacing change, the subcarrier spacing may be transmitted using the above method.
Of course, the above is only an example, and the enhancement mode information may also be sent in other manners, which is not described herein again.
In S303, the terminal receives the enhanced mode information sent by the network device through the PDCCH order or the RAR message.
The specific content of the enhanced mode information received by the terminal may refer to the descriptions in S301 to S302, and is not described herein again. Correspondingly, the position of the enhanced mode information in the PDCCH order or RAR message may also refer to the descriptions in S301 to S302, which are not described herein again.
Finally, in S304, the terminal accesses the network device according to the enhanced mode information in the random access process. For example, the enhanced mode information includes the number of repetitions of the message 3, the length of the TTI, and the subcarrier spacing, the maximum number of times that the terminal repeatedly transmits the message 3 in the random access process is the number of repetitions of the message 3 included in the enhanced mode information, the length of the TTI used by the terminal when transmitting the message 3 in the random access process is the length of the TTI included in the enhanced mode information, and the subcarrier spacing used by the terminal when transmitting the message 3 in the random access process is the subcarrier spacing included in the enhanced mode information.
With reference to fig. 4, a flowchart of a random access method provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown in combination with the foregoing description. The method comprises the following steps:
