Patent attributes
Various embodiments provide a random access method and apparatus. In those embodiments, available random access resources can be grouped, by a network device, into a plurality of random access resource groups. The network device can send information about the plurality of random access resource groups to a terminal device, and receives a random access request sent by the terminal device based on the information about the plurality of random access resources groups. The network device can determine a target random access resource group to which a random access resource used for the random access request belongs. The network device can determine an uplink transmission capability of the terminal device based on the target random access resource group.
