Abstract
A random access method and apparatus are provided. The random access method includes receiving, by a terminal, virtual cell information at a virtual frequency, where the virtual cell information includes information about at least one physical cell indicated by the virtual cell; determining, by the terminal according to the information about the at least one physical cell, a target physical cell to be pre-accessed; and accessing, by the terminal, the target physical cell using information about the target physical cell. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, information about a physical cell can be received and transmitted at a virtual frequency, such that an idle virtual frequency resource is fully utilized, and a latency is reduced.
