Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An information transmission method includes: if a PRACH transmission occasion is valid and a PUSCH transmission occasion associated with the PRACH transmission occasion is valid, transmitting a PRACH corresponding to a random access message on the PRACH transmission occasion, and transmitting a PUSCH corresponding to the random access message on the PUSCH transmission occasion.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . An information transmission method, applied to a terminal device, comprising: in a 2-step random access process, when a physical random access channel (PRACH) transmission occasion is valid and there is no valid physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission occasion associated with the PRACH transmission occasion, transmitting a PRACH corresponding to a random access message on the PRACH transmission occasion, and abandoning transmission for a PUSCH corresponding to the random access message; wherein the PRACH transmission occasion is valid when there is no conflict between a time domain resource where the PRACH transmission occasion is and downlink (DL) resource or DL transmission. 2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the terminal device works on an unlicensed frequency band; and the transmitting the PRACH corresponding to the random access message on the PRACH transmission occasion comprises: if a time interval between the PRACH transmission occasion and the PUSCH transmission occasion is greater than or equal to a preset time interval, transmitting the PRACH corresponding to the random access message on the PRACH transmission occasion. 3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the terminal device works on an unlicensed frequency band; and the transmitting the PRACH corresponding to the random access message on the PRACH transmission occasion comprises: if a total duration occupied by the PRACH transmission occasion and the PUSCH transmission occasion is greater than or equal to a preset duration, transmitting the PRACH corresponding to the random access message on the PRACH transmission occasion. 4 . The method according to claim 3 , wherein the preset duration is relevant to a listen before talk (LBT) category used by the terminal device. 5 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the random access message is an msg A in the 2-step random access process. 6 . A terminal device, comprising: a memory, a processor and a computer program which is stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the computer program, when executed by the processor, causes the terminal device to perform: in a 2-step random access process, when a physical random access channel (PRACH) transmission occasion is valid and there is no valid physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission occasion associated with the PRACH transmission occasion, transmitting a PRACH corresponding to a random access message on the PRACH transmission occasion, and abandoning transmission for a PUSCH corresponding to the random access message; wherein the PRACH transmission occasion is valid when there is no conflict between a time domain resource where the PRACH transmission occasion is and downlink (DL) resource or DL transmission. 7 . The terminal device according to claim 6 , wherein the terminal device works on an unlicensed frequency band; and the computer program, when executed by the processor, causes the terminal device to perform: if a time interval between the PRACH transmission occasion and the PUSCH transmission occasion is greater than or equal to a preset time interval, transmitting the PRACH corresponding to the random access message on the PRACH transmission occasion. 8 . The terminal device according to claim 6 , wherein the terminal device works on an unlicensed frequency band; and the computer program, when executed by the processor, causes the terminal device to perform: if a total duration occupied by the PRACH transmission occasion and the PUSCH transmission occasion is greater than or equal to a preset duration, transmitting the PRACH corresponding to the random access message on the PRACH transmission occasion. 9 . The terminal device according to claim 8 , wherein the preset duration is relevant to a listen before talk (LBT) category used by the terminal device. 10 . The terminal device according to claim 6 , wherein the random access message is an msg A in the 2-step random access process. 11 . A non-transitory computer readable medium, storing a computer program, wherein the computer program, when executed by a processor of a terminal device, causes the processor of the terminal device to perform: in a 2-step random access process, when a physical random access channel (PRACH) transmission occasion is valid and there is no valid physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission occasion associated with the PRACH transmission occasion, transmitting a PRACH corresponding to a random access message on the PRACH transmission occasion, and abandoning transmission for a PUSCH corresponding to the random access message; wherein the PRACH transmission occasion is valid when there is no conflict between a time domain resource where the PRACH transmission occasion is and downlink (DL) resource or DL transmission. 12 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 11 , wherein: the terminal device works on an unlicensed frequency band; and the computer program, when executed by the processor of the terminal device, causes the processor of the terminal device to perform: if a time interval between the PRACH transmission occasion and the PUSCH transmission occasion is greater than or equal to a preset time interval, transmitting the PRACH corresponding to the random access message on the PRACH transmission occasion. 13 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 11 , wherein: the terminal device works on an unlicensed frequency band; and the computer program, when executed by the processor of the terminal device, causes the processor of the terminal device to perform: if a total duration occupied by the PRACH transmission occasion and the PUSCH transmission occasion is greater than or equal to a preset duration, transmitting the PRACH corresponding to the random access message on the PRACH transmission occasion. 14 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 13 , wherein the preset duration is relevant to a listen before talk (LBT) category used by the terminal device. 15 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 11 , wherein the random access message is an msg A in the 2-step random access process.
