Abstract
A random access method for a terminal includes: receiving a system message broadcasted by a target base station and initiating random access to the target base station; in response to a failure of the random access, determining a first operator to which the target base station belongs based on a first PLMN identity in the plurality of PLMN identities; and in response to a second operator, to which the terminal belongs, being different from the first operator, stopping a random access retry to the target base station and initiating random access to other base station except the target base station. The system message includes a plurality of public land mobile network (PLMN) identities with an order relationship.

A random access method, for a terminal, comprising:
- receiving a system message broadcasted by a target base station, and initiating random access to the target base station, wherein the system message includes a plurality of public land mobile network (PLMN) identities with an order relationship;
- in response to a failure of the random access, determining a first operator to which the target base station belongs based on a first PLMN identity in the plurality of PLMN identities;
- and
- in response to a second operator, to which the terminal belongs, being different from the first operator, stopping a random access retry to the target base station and initiating random access to other base station except the target base station.
A terminal, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory for storing instructions executable by the processor;
- wherein the processor is configured to receive a system message broadcasted by a target base station, and initiate random access to the target base station, wherein the system message includes a plurality of public land mobile network (PLMN) identities with an order relationship;
- determine a first operator to which the target base station belongs based on a first PLMN identity in the plurality of PLMN identities, in response to a failure of the random access;
- and
- stop a random access retry to the target base station and initiate random access to other base station, except the target base station, in response to a second operator to which the terminal belongs being different from the first operator.
