A METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ALLOCATING RESOURCE FOR A RANDOM ACCESS CAHNNEL

摘要

The present disclosure relates to a 5G or pre-5G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate than a 4G communication system such as LTE. A method for performing, by a terminal, random access in a wireless communication system, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, comprises the steps of: receiving, from a base station, system information including configuration information of resources allocated for random access allocated on the basis of at least one of a user group and a coverage class; identifying, from the configuration information, configuration information of resources for random access, corresponding to the user group in which the terminal is included, or the coverage class of the terminal; and transmitting a random access request to the base station using resources corresponding to the identified configuration information of the resources for random access.
