1. A beam establishment method, wherein the method comprises:
obtaining, by a terminal apparatus, synchronization signal and physical broadcast channel (PBCH) blocks (SSBs) in a plurality of beams, wherein each of the SSBs comprises an SSB index;
determining, by the terminal apparatus, a target beam in the plurality of beams based on an association relationship between the SSB index and a first random access preamble, wherein the first random access preamble is determined based on at least one of a cyclic shift and an order of symbols, the symbols are symbols of a sequence part in the first random access preamble, and the sequence part comprises at least two types of symbols;
and sending, by the terminal apparatus, the first random access preamble by using the target beam to initiate a random access request,
wherein the cyclic shift is obtained through a calculation based on at least the SSB index and a sequence length of the first random access preamble.
