Control information transmission method

This application provides an uplink signal sending method, an apparatus, and a system, and generally relates to the field of communications technologies. The uplink signal sending method includes obtaining first indication information, and determining, based on the first indication information, whether to send an uplink signal on a supplementary uplink (SUL) or an uplink (UL). The first indication information is used to indicate a SUL available time, and the SUL available time is a time in which an uplink signal can be sent on an SUL carrier in a preset period. The method is applied to a procedure in which an uplink signal is sent by using an uplink carrier, to improve flexibility in an uplink signal sending process.

The method includes: RARs associated with one RO are transmitted based on groups, so that a transport block size of RAR data transmitted each time is reduced, and N bits in DCI format 1_0 of CRC are scrambled by using a RA-RNTI to indicate scheduling information of N RAR groups in a PDSCH. Alternatively, DCI format 1_0 of CRC is scrambled by using identifiers of RAR groups, to correspondingly schedule the RAR groups in the PDSCH. According to this application, a problem of a large transport block caused by a large quantity of RARs being transmitted in a PDSCH can be avoided, so that a modulation order or a bit rate is reduced, and demodulation performance of a terminal device is improved.

Random access response method and apparatus

A random access method and an apparatus. In one example: A terminal device receives a first wake-up signal, and then determines N random access channel occasions based on a correspondence between the first wake-up signal and the N random access channel occasions. The terminal device determines a first random access channel occasion in the N random access channel occasions, and sends a random access preamble on the first random access channel occasion. A network device uses, as a reception beam, a beam used to send the first wake-up signal, to receive the random access preamble sent by the terminal device.
