Abstract
A random access method and apparatus and resource configuration method and apparatus. The random access apparatus includes: a third receiving unit configured to, on a physical random access channel resource, receive a random access preamble transmitted by a terminal equipment; wherein the random access preamble is used to indicate that the terminal equipment has sidelink data to be transmitted, and/or the physical random access channel resource is used to indicate that the terminal equipment has sidelink data to be transmitted; and a second transmitting unit configured to transmit a random access response to the terminal equipment. By indicating in the random access procedure to the network device that the terminal equipment has a sidelink MAC CE to be transmitted, it may be avoided that the network device does not learn that the terminal equipment has a sidelink MAC CE to be transmitted, so that the network device allocates resources for the sidelink, and resource consumption may be lowered.
