Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0029] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of an application scenario of an embodiment of the present application.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the communication system 100 may include a terminal device 110 and a network device 120. The network device 120 may communicate with the terminal device 110 via an air interface. The terminal device 110 and the network device 120 support multi-service transmission.

[0031] It should be understood that the embodiments of the present application are only exemplified by the communication system 100, but the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.

[0034] The terminal device 110 may be any terminal device, including but not limited to a terminal device connected to the network device 120 or other terminal devices by wire or wireless connection.

[0035] For example, the terminal device 110 may refer to an access terminal, a user equipment (UE), a user unit, a user station, a mobile station, a mobile station, a remote station, a remote terminal, a mobile device, a user terminal, a terminal, a wireless communication device, a user agent, or a user device.

[0036] The terminal device 110 may be used for device-to-device (D2D) communication.

[0037] The wireless communication system 100 may also include a core network device 130 for communicating with the base station, and the core network device 130 may be a 5G core network (5G Core, 5GC) device, for example, an access and mobility management function (Access and Mobility Management Function, AMF), and for example, an authentication server function (Authentication Server Function, AUSF), and for example, a user plane function (User Plane Function, UPF), and for example, a session management function (Session Management Function, SMF). Optionally, the core network device 130 may also be an evolved packet core (Evolved Packet Core, EPC) device of the LTE network, for example, a session management function + a data gateway (Session Management Function + Core Packet Gateway, SMF + PGW-C) device of the core network. It should be understood that SMF + PGW-C can simultaneously implement the functions that SMF and PGW-C can implement. In the process of network evolution, the above-mentioned core network device may also be called other names, or a new network entity may be formed by dividing the functions of the core network, which is not limited to the embodiments of the present application.

[0038] The functional units in the communication system 100 may also establish connections through next generation (NG) network interfaces to achieve communication.

[0040] Figure 1 A base station, a core network device and two terminal devices are shown exemplarily. Optionally, the wireless communication system 100 may include multiple base station devices and each base station may include another number of terminal devices within its coverage area, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0041] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the architecture of another communication system provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, it includes a terminal device 1101 and a satellite 1102, and wireless communication can be performed between the terminal device 1101 and the satellite 1102. The network formed between the terminal device 1101 and the satellite 1102 can also be called NTN. Figure 2 In the architecture of the communication system shown, the satellite 1102 may have the function of a base station, and the terminal device 1101 and the satellite 1102 may communicate directly. In the system architecture, the satellite 1102 may be referred to as a network device. In some embodiments of the present application, the communication system may include multiple network devices 1102, and each network device 1102 may include other number of terminal devices within its coverage area, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0043] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the architecture of another communication system provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0044] like Figure 3 As shown, it includes terminal device 1201, satellite 1202 and base station 1203. Wireless communication can be performed between terminal device 1201 and satellite 1202, and satellite 1202 and base station 1203 can communicate with each other. The network formed by terminal device 1201, satellite 1202 and base station 1203 can also be called NTN. Figure 3In the architecture of the communication system shown in FIG. 1 , the satellite 1202 may not have the function of a base station, and the communication between the terminal device 1201 and the base station 1203 needs to be transferred through the satellite 1202. In this system architecture, the base station 1203 can be called a network device. In some embodiments of the present application, the communication system may include multiple network devices 1203, and each network device 1203 may include other number of terminal devices within its coverage area, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. The network device 1203 may be Figure 1 The network device 120 in.

[0045] It should be understood that the satellite 1102 or satellite 1202 includes but is not limited to:

[0046] Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites, Medium-Earth Orbit (MEO) satellites, Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) satellites, High Elliptical Orbit (HEO) satellites, etc. Satellites can use multiple beams to cover the ground. For example, a satellite can form dozens or even hundreds of beams to cover the ground. In other words, a satellite beam can cover a ground area with a diameter of tens to hundreds of kilometers to ensure satellite coverage and improve the system capacity of the entire satellite communication system.

[0047] As an example, the altitude range of LEO can be 500km~1500km, the corresponding orbital period can be about 1.5 hours~2 hours, the signal propagation delay of single-hop communication between users can generally be less than 20ms, the maximum satellite visible time can be 20 minutes, the signal propagation distance of LEO is short and the link loss is small, and the transmission power requirement of user terminals is not high. The orbital altitude of GEO can be 35786km, the rotation period around the earth can be 24 hours, and the signal propagation delay of single-hop communication between users can generally be 250ms.

[0048] It should be noted that Figures 1 to 3It is only to illustrate the system to which the present application is applicable in the form of an example. Of course, the method shown in the embodiment of the present application can also be applied to other systems. In addition, the terms "system" and "network" are often used interchangeably in this article. The term "and / or" in this article is only a description of the association relationship of the associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the associated objects before and after are in an "or" relationship. It should also be understood that the "indication" mentioned in the embodiments of the present application can be a direct indication, an indirect indication, or an indication of an association relationship. For example, A indicates B, which can mean that A directly indicates B, for example, B can be obtained through A; it can also mean that A indirectly indicates B, for example, A indicates C, and B can be obtained through C; it can also mean that there is an association relationship between A and B.

[0049] Figure 4 A schematic flow chart of a wireless pain communication method 200 according to an embodiment of the present application is shown, and the method 200 can be interactively executed by a terminal device and a network device. Figure 2 The terminal device shown in FIG. 1 may be a terminal device such as Figures 1 to 3 The terminal equipment shown in Figure 2 The network devices shown in can be Figures 1 to 3 The access network equipment shown in .

[0050] like Figure 4 As shown, the method 200 may include some or all of the following:

[0051] S210, the network device determines at least one time calibration amount, where the at least one time calibration amount is a calibration amount for a SMTC time window offset of a synchronization signal or physical broadcast channel block measurement timing configuration.

[0052] S220: The network device sends the at least one time calibration value to the terminal.

[0053] S230: The terminal device calibrates the SMTC offset based on the at least one time calibration value.

[0054] For example, the network device may determine the at least one time alignment amount based on various assistance information.

[0055] For example, the auxiliary information includes but is not limited to information determined by the network device and information reported by the terminal device.

[0056] It should be noted that the at least one time calibration value corresponds to the first frequency point or the first frequency band of the terminal device. Optionally, the first frequency point or the first frequency band corresponds to at least one measurement object MO. Optionally, the first frequency point or the first frequency band corresponds to at least one group of cells or at least one cell list.

[0057] It should be noted that the at least one time calibration amount can be used as auxiliary information. For example, auxiliary information for cell selection and reselection measurement. For example, auxiliary information for neighboring cell radio resource management (Radio Resource Management, RRM) measurement. In other words, the at least one time calibration amount can be used as auxiliary information for measurement configuration of a serving cell or a neighboring cell.

[0058] It should be noted that the at least one time calibration amount may include a time calibration amount in at least one group of time calibration amounts. In other words, the network device determining at least one time calibration amount may be equivalent to the network device determining at least one group of time calibration amounts.

[0059] To facilitate understanding of this application, SMTC is described below.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present application, the configuration of SMTC may support a period of {5, 10, 20, 40, 80, 160} ms and a window length of {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} ms, and the offset of each SMTC is related to its period. For example, the offset of SMTC is {0, ..., period - 1}. Since the measurement object (MO) may not contain a carrier frequency, SMTC may be configured per MO rather than per frequency point.

[0061] In other words, SMTC is configured per MO. A frequency point can have multiple MOs and correspond to a cell list (celllist).

[0062] In addition, the first subframe in each system frame number (SFN) of the corresponding NR special cell (Spcell) of each SMTC entity is also obtained by the SMTC period and SMTC offset (periodicityAndOffset).

[0063] For example, the SFN can be determined by the following formula:

[0064] SFN mod T=(FLOOR(Offset / 10));

[0065] Among them, FLOOR represents the rounding down operation, and Offset represents the SMTC offset.

[0066] For example, if the periodicity is larger than the length of 5 subframes (if the Periodicity is larger thansf5), the first subframe (Subframe) is equal to the modulo operation of the offset and 10 (subframe=Offset mod 10); otherwise, the first subframe (Subframe) is equal to the offset or the value of the offset plus 5 (subframe=Offset or(Offset+5)); T=CEIL(Periodicity / 10), CEIL represents the rounding operation towards positive infinity, and Periodicity represents the SMTC period.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present application, for intra-frequency measurements in a connected state, one same-frequency frequency layer can be configured with two SMTCs (SMTC1 and SMTC2). Optionally, the two SMTCs may have the same offset and different periods. Optionally, only SMTC1 may be configured for heterodyne measurements. Optionally, the period of SMTC2 may be shorter than that of SMTC1. Optionally, the offset of SMTC2 may follow that of SMTC1. Optionally, the offset of SMTC2 may be equal to the modulus of the sum of the period and the offset relative to the period (periodicityAndOffset mod periodicity). Optionally, SMTC2 only supports configuration for intra-frequency measurements.

[0068] Figure 5 It is a schematic block diagram of two SMTCs provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0069] like Figure 5 As shown, the two SMTCs may be two SMTCs with different offsets and the same period. For example, the offset of one SMTC is 0, and the offset of the other SMTC is 10 ms. In addition, the periods of the two SMTCs are both 40 ms. The measurement windows of the two SMTCs may be used to receive one or more synchronization signals / physical broadcast channel blocks (Synchronization Signal / PBCH Block, SSB).

[0070] The measurement interval is described below.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present application, the network device may configure the user equipment (UE) to measure the reference signal receiving power (RSRP), reference signal receiving quality (RSRQ) or signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) of the reference signal of the same frequency, different frequency or different network target neighboring area in a specific time window, so that the UE can better implement mobility switching. The specific time window may also be called a measurement gap.

[0072] In addition, in addition to the frequency range below 6 GHz, the terminal device also introduces the millimeter wave frequency band above 6 GHz. Therefore, depending on whether the terminal device supports the FR1 / FR2 frequency range, the measurement interval can be configured per UE and per FR. That is, the measurement interval may include gapFR1, gapFR2 and gapUE. Optionally, the terminal device can also send an independent gap capability indication (independentGapConfig) to the network device to indicate whether the measurement interval per FR1 / 2 can be configured.

[0073] Optionally, gapFR1 is only applicable to FR1. gapFR1 and gapUE do not support simultaneous configuration. Optionally, in E-UTRA and NR Dual Connectivity (EN-DC) mode, gapFR1 does not support NR Radio Resource Control (RRC) configuration, and only LTE RRC can configure FR1 gap.

[0074] Optional, gapFR2 is only applicable to FR2. gapFR2 and gapUE do not support simultaneous configuration.

[0075] Optionally, gapUE applies to all frequency bands, i.e. FR1 and FR2. In EN-DC mode, only LTE RRC can configure gapUE, and NR RRC configuration is not supported. If gapUE is configured, gapFR1 or gapFR2 cannot be configured.

[0076] Optionally, for the per-UE gap, the UE is not allowed to send any data and is not expected to adjust the receivers of the primary carrier and the secondary carrier. If the UE supports the independent gap capability, that is, the measurement of FR1 and FR2 can be independent and unaffected, the UE can configure the per-FR measurement gap.

[0077] It should be noted that FR1 and FR2 may be frequency ranges defined for 5G NR. For example, the frequency range FR1 may be a 5G Sub-6GHz (below 6GHz) frequency band, and the frequency range FR2 may be a 5G millimeter wave frequency band.

[0078] In some embodiments of the present application, one MG pattern can be used to configure a single UE (if UE supports per-UE MG only) or a single FR (if UE supports per-FR MG) within a measurement time. The supported MG length (mgl) includes {ms1dot5, ms3, ms3dot5, ms4, ms5dot5, ms6}; where dot represents a decimal point, and the supported MG period (mgrp) includes {ms20, ms40, ms80, ms160}.

[0079] Based on this, for non-terrestrial network (NTN) technology, satellite communication can be used to provide communication services to ground users. Compared with ground cellular network communication, satellite communication has many unique features. For example, a satellite can cover a large area and orbit around the earth.

[0080] Therefore, for the NTN technology, if a single MG pattern and multiple SMTCs are still used, it is very likely that the measurement window of the SMTC cannot be covered by the MG, which not only increases the throughput loss but also reduces the efficiency of mobility switching.

[0081] For example, for network equipment, the flexibility of network configuration MO will be limited, that is, network equipment is required to align SSB on the base station side to ensure that a single MG pattern can cover the SMTC of SSBs with different frequencies, or configure MO in a certain order, which will delay the measurement and reporting of some candidate neighboring cells. For another example, for terminal equipment, if the SMTC on these MOs cannot be covered by a single MG pattern, the UE will be restricted to perform the measurement of the corresponding MOs in sequence.

[0082] By using the at least one time calibration amount, the measurement windows of different SMTCs can be aligned as much as possible, so that the measurement interval can cover as many measurement windows of different SMTCs as possible. Accordingly, not only can the throughput loss be reduced, but also the efficiency of mobility switching can be improved.

[0083] In other words, through the at least one time calibration quantity, the satellite (base station) can configure the SMTC (including length, period and offset) in a reference area so that the interruption device can complete the measurement and reporting more centrally and efficiently.

[0084] In particular, due to the large propagation delay of the NTN network, the actual time when the terminal device receives the measurement reference signal of each service cell and neighboring cell will be offset differently with different propagation delays. Therefore, when each satellite (base station) in the NTN network is configured with SMTC, the offset of the measurement window is calibrated by the at least one time calibration amount, which helps to compensate for the time deviation caused by the large path transmission delay, so that the SMTCs of multiple cells are aligned as much as possible, ensuring that the perUE or perFR measurement interval MG configured in the service cell can cover as much of the measurement window as possible.

[0085] In some embodiments of the present application, the S210 may include:

[0086] Determining the position of the satellite based on a satellite positioning map of the satellite;

[0087] The at least one time calibration amount is determined or selected based on the position of the satellite and preset calibration information corresponding to the position of the satellite.

[0088] For example, the preset calibration information may be time calibration information or position calibration information. For example, the preset calibration information may include at least one position of the satellite and calibration information corresponding to each of the at least one position.

[0089] For example, when each satellite configures a measurement object (meas-object) for a cell at a different frequency point, it can obtain the time calibration value for the SMTC offset corresponding to the current real-time different frequency points or even at the frequency band level according to the satellite constellation diagram. The calibration value can be used as auxiliary information for the SMTC measured in the service cell or the neighboring cell.

[0090] For example, the time calibration amount of the SMTC offset configured for a certain frequency point or frequency band of the terminal device can be determined or selected from the pre-configured time calibration amounts based on the satellite constellation diagram.

[0091] Acquiring the at least one time calibration value through a satellite positioning map can not only avoid changing the protocol framework, but also improve the reliability of network measurement configuration, improve the efficiency of UE measurement, and ensure faster completion and reporting of measurements of all cells.

[0092] In some embodiments of the present application, the S210 may include:

[0093] Acquire location information of the terminal device; acquire a propagation delay of the terminal device based on the location information of the terminal device; and determine the at least one time calibration amount based on the propagation delay of the terminal device.

[0094] For example, when each satellite configures a measurement object (meas-object) for a cell at a different frequency, it obtains the propagation delay of the different frequency points or cells based on the UE location information requested, and then converts it into a time calibration value for the SMTC offset at the frequency point or larger frequency band level to assist in the configuration of the SMTC for the measurement of each service cell or neighboring cell of the UE.

[0095] Acquiring the at least one time calibration value through the location information of the terminal can enable the network equipment to configure SMTC more reasonably, improve the efficiency of terminal equipment measurement, and even allow the service cell to configure a shorter MG for the terminal equipment, which can not only reduce throughput loss but also improve the efficiency of mobility switching.

[0096] In some embodiments of the present application, a network device receives first reporting information sent by the terminal device, where the first reporting information includes location information of the terminal device.

[0097] For example, the network device receives the first reporting information periodically sent by the terminal device.

[0098] For another example, the network device sends a request message to the terminal device, wherein the request message is used to request the terminal device to report the location information. In other words, the network device sends the request message to the terminal device before receiving the first reporting information.

[0099] In some embodiments of the present application, the S210 may include:

[0100] Acquire a positioning measurement result of the terminal device; and determine the at least one time calibration value based on the positioning measurement result of the terminal device.

[0101] For example, the positioning measurement result includes a reference signal time difference measurement value (Reference Signal Time Difference measurement, RSTD), and the reference signal time difference measurement value can be called a delay estimation difference or a receiving time difference.

[0102] For example, in the case where multiple neighboring cells measure the UE mobility at the same frequency, the serving cell can trigger a request for the UE to simultaneously perform positioning measurements on the cells (cell group) at the same frequency to obtain positioning measurement results (such as received time difference, RSTD), or obtain reported positioning measurement results through other means (such as UE RRC dedicated signaling, other network assistance messages related to geographic location). Furthermore, the satellite base station obtains the at least one time calibration amount based on the positioning measurement result to assist the network equipment in configuring SMTC per frequency layer or per cell group.

[0103] Determining the at least one time calibration value through the positioning measurement result is more real-time and accurate than determining the at least one time calibration value based on the location information of the terminal device. In addition, the network device can configure the SMTC more reasonably to improve the measurement efficiency of each terminal device, and even allow the service cell to configure a shorter MG for the terminal device, which can not only reduce the throughput loss but also improve the efficiency of mobility switching.

[0104] In some embodiments of the present application, the network device receives second reporting information sent by the terminal device, where the second reporting information includes a positioning measurement result of the terminal device.

[0105] For example, the network device receives the second reporting information periodically sent by the terminal device.

[0106] For another example, the network device sends instruction information to the terminal device, where the instruction information is used to instruct the terminal device to perform positioning measurement. In other words, before the network device receives the second reporting information, it sends the instruction information to the terminal device.

[0107] In some embodiments of the present application, the S220 may include:

[0108] The network device sends auxiliary signaling of timing advance TA information to the target terminal, where the auxiliary signaling includes the at least one time calibration value.

[0109] Carrying the at least one time calibration amount in the auxiliary signaling of the TA information can realize the configuration of the at least one time calibration amount and thus enable the network device to configure the SMTC more reasonably, improve the measurement efficiency of each terminal device, and even allow the service cell to configure a shorter MG for the terminal device, which can not only reduce the throughput loss but also improve the efficiency of mobility switching.
