Communication method and apparatus, and computer storage medium

An apparatus comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• one or more processors coupled to the memory, wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
• receive, from a network device, at least one uplink configuration used to indicate a parameter for sending uplink data, wherein the at least one uplink configuration comprises a first uplink configuration;
• receive, from the network device, at least one random access configuration used to indicate a parameter for sending a preamble, wherein the at least one random access configuration comprises a first random access configuration, and wherein there is a correspondence between the first uplink configuration and the first random access configuration;
• obtain, from the network device, a first correspondence between the at least one uplink configuration and the at least one random access configuration, wherein the first correspondence comprises the correspondence between the first uplink configuration and the first random access configuration;
• and
• based on the correspondence between the first uplink configuration and the first random access configuration, send the uplink data to the network device using the first uplink configuration, and send the preamble to the network device using the first random access configuration.

An apparatus comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• one or more processors coupled to the memory, wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
• send at least one uplink configuration and at least one random access configuration to a terminal, wherein the at least one uplink configuration comprises a first uplink configuration, and the at least one random access configuration comprises a first random access configuration;
• receive a preamble from the terminal, wherein the preamble is received using a first random access configuration, and wherein there is a correspondence between the first random access configuration and the first uplink configuration;
• and
• process uplink data using the first uplink configuration corresponding to the first random access configuration based on the correspondence between the first random access configuration and the first uplink configuration.
