The present application relates to an electronic device in a wireless communication system, and a wireless communication method. The electronic device in a wireless communication system according to the present application comprises: a processing circuit, configured to perform a channel detection process in one or more beam directions of an unlicensed spectrum; and a transceiver circuit, configured to transmit a random access preamble sequence in one or more beam directions in which channels are detected as idle. The electronic device and the wireless communication method of the present application can implement a random access process on an unlicensed spectrum, improve the channel detection efficiency, and reduce the delay caused by the channel detection process.
