1. A method, performed by a terminal device or a chip for the terminal device, the method comprising:
obtaining configuration information from a network device, wherein the configuration information comprises random access configuration information and parameter information of a plurality of downlink signals, wherein each downlink signal of the plurality of downlink signals is a synchronization signal block (SS) block;
determining, based on the random access configuration information, a periodicity of TRA, wherein each periodic TRA is an association period during which random access resources are associated with the plurality of downlink signals, the random access resources being configured by the random access configuration information;
determining, based on the configuration information, a first random access resource of the random access resources and a random access preamble that are associated with a first downlink signal of the plurality of downlink signals, wherein the association between the first random access resource and the first downlink signal has a periodicity of the TRA; and
sending the random access preamble to the network device on the first random access resource.
