AI Technical Summary
In satellite communication systems, terminal equipment is prone to missing SSBs or failing to merge with other SSBs when performing neighboring cell SSB measurements, which increases measurement time and affects the efficiency of mobility management.
Terminal devices and network devices receive and send SMTC list configuration information, including multiple SMTC configuration information. Each configuration information indicates the cell list, measurement period, and offset, allowing for flexible configuration to adapt to the access requirements of different cells and avoiding empty SSB search or missing SSBs that can be merged.
It reduces the time spent on SSB measurement, improves SSB measurement efficiency and mobility management performance, and ensures that terminal devices can more accurately search for and measure neighboring SSBs.
