Abstract
Provided is a terminal that makes it possible to improve the efficiency of random access processing. A control unit (209) in the terminal (200) uses channel quality as a basis to select either a first method for transmitting a random access signal including a preamble section and a data section or a second method for transmitting a random access signal that includes a preamble section and that does not include a data section. A transmission unit (217) transmits a random access signal on the basis of the selected method.

1-18. (canceled)
A terminal, comprising:
- control circuitry that selects one of a first method and a second method based on a channel quality, the first method being for transmitting a random access signal including a preamble part and a data part, the second method being for transmitting the random access signal including the preamble part but not including the data part;
- and
- transmission circuitry that transmits the random access signal based on the selected method.
A communication method comprising:
- selecting one of a first method and a second method based on a channel quality, the first method being for transmitting a random access signal including a preamble part and a data part, the second method being for transmitting the random access signal including the preamble part but not including the data part;
- and
- transmitting the random access signal based on the selected method.
