1. A method for accessing a wireless network, comprising:
determining, according to a type of a terminal, whether the terminal is allowed to access the wireless network over a supplementary uplink (SUL) carrier,
wherein determining, according to the type of the terminal, whether the terminal is allowed to access the wireless network over the SUL carrier comprises:
in response to determining that the terminal is a terminal of a first type, determining that the terminal is allowed to access the wireless network over the SUL carrier when a SUL access condition of the terminal of the first type is satisfied; and
in response to determining that the terminal is a terminal of a second type, determining that the terminal is allowed to access the wireless network over the SUL carrier when a SUL access condition of the terminal of the second type is satisfied,
wherein the SUL access condition of the terminal of the first type comprises that a reference signal receiving power of the terminal of the first type is less than a first power threshold, the SUL access condition of the terminal of the second type comprises that a reference signal receiving power of the terminal of the second type is less than a second power threshold, and the first power threshold is greater than the second power threshold.
