A processing method, applied to a terminal, and comprising: when a random access preamble is transmitted on one or more first carriers, controlling a count value of a power ramping counter according to whether the one or more first carriers change relative to one or more second carriers, wherein the one or more second carriers are used for transmitting the preamble before the preamble is transmitted on the one or more first carriers; wherein when the preamble is transmitted on the one or more first carriers, the controlling a count value of a power ramping counter according to whether the one or more first carriers change relative to one or more second carriers comprises: when the preamble is transmitted on the one or more first carriers, when a first preset condition is met, controlling the count value of the power ramping counter to be increased by 1, wherein the first preset condition comprises at least one of: a type of the one or more first carriers used for transmitting the preamble is different from a type of the one or more second carriers used for transmitting the preamble; a scanning sequence of the one or more first carriers used for transmitting the preamble is different from a scanning sequence of the one or more second carriers used for transmitting the preamble; a number of the first carriers used for transmitting the preamble is different from a number of the second carriers used for transmitting the preamble; and the first carrier in a set of the first carriers used for transmitting the preamble is different from any second carrier in a set of the second carriers used for transmitting the preamble; or when the preamble is transmitted on the one or more first carriers, when a second preset condition is met, controlling a count value of a power ramping counter corresponding to the first carrier to be increased by 1, wherein the second preset condition comprises at least one of: types of the second carrier and the first carrier that are respectively used when the preamble is transmitted at two continuous times are different; and a set of the first carriers used for transmitting the preamble is different from a set of the second carriers used for transmitting the preamble. when a random access preamble is transmitted on one or more first carriers, controlling a count value of a power ramping counter according to whether the one or more first carriers change relative to one or more second carriers, wherein the one or more second carriers are used for transmitting the preamble before the preamble is transmitted on the one or more first carriers; wherein when the preamble is transmitted on the one or more first carriers, the controlling a count value of a power ramping counter according to whether the one or more first carriers change relative to one or more second carriers comprises: when the preamble is transmitted on the one or more first carriers, when a first preset condition is met, controlling the count value of the power ramping counter to be increased by 1, wherein the first preset condition comprises at least one of: a type of the one or more first carriers used for transmitting the preamble is different from a type of the one or more second carriers used for transmitting the preamble; a scanning sequence of the one or more first carriers used for transmitting the preamble is different from a scanning sequence of the one or more second carriers used for transmitting the preamble; a number of the first carriers used for transmitting the preamble is different from a number of the second carriers used for transmitting the preamble; and the first carrier in a set of the first carriers used for transmitting the preamble is different from any second carrier in a set of the second carriers used for transmitting the preamble; or when the preamble is transmitted on the one or more first carriers, when a second preset condition is met, controlling a count value of a power ramping counter corresponding to the first carrier to be increased by 1, wherein the second preset condition comprises at least one of: types of the second carrier and the first carrier that are respectively used when the preamble is transmitted at two continuous times are different; and a set of the first carriers used for transmitting the preamble is different from a set of the second carriers used for transmitting the preamble. types of the second carrier and the first carrier that are respectively used when the preamble is transmitted at two continuous times are different; and a set of the first carriers used for transmitting the preamble is different from a set of the second carriers used for transmitting the preamble.
