Background
In the existing Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, a single carrier supports a system bandwidth of 20M at maximum, and if a larger bandwidth is required, a carrier aggregation technique needs to be adopted. In a private network, there are a large number of applications such as video monitoring services, and the like, and the service demand of this type of service is greater for uplink than for downlink.
The prior art provides an asymmetric uplink carrier aggregation method, which can satisfy a scenario that the uplink service demand is greater than the downlink service demand. In the method, for example, there are N downlink carriers and M uplink carriers, where N is less than or equal to M, and the existing processing procedure of asymmetric uplink carrier aggregation is as follows: firstly, a base station decomposes N downlink carriers and M uplink carriers into a plurality of carrier aggregation clusters, where each carrier aggregation cluster includes one downlink carrier and K uplink carriers, K is an integer greater than or equal to 1, fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a main carrier and an auxiliary carrier, as shown in fig. 1, one uplink carrier corresponding to a downlink carrier and the downlink carrier constitute the main carrier, and the remaining K-1 uplink carriers are the auxiliary carriers. And then the base station carries out carrier aggregation on the decomposed multiple carrier aggregation clusters.
In the above-mentioned existing asymmetric uplink carrier aggregation scenario, since the uplink secondary carrier does not have a corresponding downlink secondary carrier, in this scenario, how to perform random access on the uplink secondary carrier is a problem to be solved.
