A terminal, comprising:

• a processor, a memory connected to the processor via a bus interface and configured to store computer instructions and data used by the processor in performing operations, wherein the computer instructions are called and executed by the processor to:
• receive random access mechanism configuration information sent by a base station, wherein the random access mechanism configuration information comprises a random access type and random access time-frequency resource information corresponding to the random access type, and the random access type comprises a first random access mechanism and/or a second random access mechanism;
• and
• perform a random access process of the first random access mechanism or the second random access mechanism according to the random access mechanism configuration information.
