As a possible application scenario, NTN systems may include satellite systems. Based on satellite altitude, i.e., satellite orbital altitude, satellites can be classified into highly elliptical orbit (HEO) satellites, geosynchronous earth orbit (GEO) satellites, medium earth orbit (MEO) satellites, and low earth orbit (LEO) satellites. In addition, NTN systems may also include non-terrestrial network-side equipment (or airborne network-side equipment) such as High Altitude Platform Station (HAPS) communication systems. The non-terrestrial network-side equipment involved in this application is not limited to the examples mentioned above.

[0065] The terms "system" and "network" used in the embodiments of this application are often used interchangeably, and the described technologies can be used with respect to the systems and radio technologies mentioned above, as well as other systems and radio technologies. The following description describes a New Radio (NR) system for illustrative purposes, and the term NR is used in most of the following description; however, these technologies can also be applied to systems other than NR systems, such as 6th generation (6G) systems.th Generation 6G communication system.

[0066] To facilitate understanding of the embodiments of this application, the following technical points are introduced first:

[0067] 1) Regarding the structure of the Synchronization Signal and PBCH block (SSB) in 5th Generation (5G) NR.

[0068] The initial search process is completed through the SSB. The SSB consists of the Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS), the Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS), the Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH), and the Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS) within four consecutive Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols, and is mainly used for downlink synchronization.

[0069] 2) Regarding the Global Synchronization Channel Number (GSCN) and Synchronization Raster.

[0070] NR defines a GSCN for the 0-100GHz frequency range, and a portion of the GSCN is defined as a synchronization grid. Base stations can transmit synchronization signal blocks on the synchronization grid. The spacing and numbering of the GSCN are related to the frequency range and whether the channel bandwidth is greater than 3MHz.

[0071] The location and calculation of GSCN in different frequency domain ranges are shown in Tables 1 to 10:

[0072] For example, based on GSCN=2, we can deduce N=1, M=1, and thus the corresponding frequency position is 1250kHz. If GSCN=2 belongs to the GSCN range of a certain frequency band, then it is a synchronization grid of that frequency band.

[0073] Table 1: GSCN parameters of the global frequency grid for channel bandwidths above 3MHz.

[0089]

[0090] Table 8: Permitted GSCNs for the n263 band at 120kHz and 480kHz.

[0091]

[0092] According to NR's frequency domain planning, the supported channel bandwidth is defined for different operating frequency bands based on different SCSs. Table 9 shows the channel bandwidth information for frequency band n1. For example, for frequency band n1, when the SCS of the transmitted data or control signal is 15kHz, the minimum channel bandwidth in this frequency band is 3MHz.

[0093] Table 9: Channel bandwidth of each NR band.

[0094]

[0095] In NR, the range and step size of the GSCN are defined for different frequency bands. The step size is the difference between the GSCN numbers of two adjacent sync rasteres belonging to that frequency band. For example, the GSCN range of n41 is 6246–6714, the step size is 3, and the GSCN numbers within the n41 range are 6246, 6249, ..., 6714. It is important to note that the frequency domains of different frequency bands may overlap, such as frequency bands n38 and n41. As shown in Table 10, although these two frequency bands overlap, their GSCN step sizes are different. For example, in Table 10, the frequency domain ranges of n38 and n41 overlap, but their GSCN step sizes are not the same.

[0096] Table 10: Synchronization grid entries applicable to each operating frequency band.

[0097]

[0098] 3) About NR-ARFCN and Channel Raster.

[0099] NR defines a Global Frequency Raster, and the frequency points corresponding to the Global Frequency Raster are called Radio Frequency (RF) reference points, which are numbered NR-ARFCN. A portion of the RF reference points can be used as a channel grid, and base stations can deploy channels on the channel grid. Typically, the channel grid represents the center location of the carrier during carrier deployment.

[0100] The radio frequency reference frequency is specified by the NR absolute radio frequency channel number (NR-ARFCN) on the global frequency grid, ranging from (0…2016666). The NR-ARFCN is related to the radio frequency reference frequency F. REF The relationship (in MHz) is given by the following formula, where F REF-Offs and N Ref-Offs As shown in Table 1, N REF It is NR-ARFCN.

[0101] F REF =F REF-Offs +ΔF Global (N REF –N REF-Offs ).

[0102] Table 11: NR-ARFCN parameters of the global frequency grid.

[0103] Frequency range (MHz) <![CDATA[ΔF Global (kHz)]]> <![CDATA[F REF-Offs (MHz)]]> <![CDATA[N REF-Offs ]]> <![CDATA[N REF Scope 0–3000 5 0 0 0–599999 3000–24250 15 3000 600000 600000–2016666

[0105] Frequency range (MHz) <![CDATA[ΔF Global (kHz)]]> <![CDATA[F REF-Offs (MHz)]]> <![CDATA[N REF-Offs ]]> <![CDATA[N REF Scope 24250–100000 60 24250.08 2016667 2016667–3279165

[0106] For example, in Table 3, the channel grid on frequency band n1 is 100kHz. The range of its uplink frequency domain NR-ARFCN number is 384000–396000, and the range of its downlink frequency domain NR-ARFCN number is 422000–434000. An NR-ARFCN number can also be used to indicate a frequency location.

[0107] Table 13: NR-ARFCN applicable to each operating frequency band.

[0108]

[0109] It is important to note that there may be overlap in the frequency domain between different frequency bands, such as bands n38 and n41. As can be seen from Table 4, although these two frequency bands overlap, their NR-ARFCN step sizes are different.

[0110] Table 14: NR-ARFCN applicable to each operating frequency band.

[0111]

[0112] For certain special frequency bands, the NR-ARFCN corresponding to the channel grid is listed separately instead of being calculated using step sizes. This is because these frequency bands may have special regulatory requirements.

[0113] Table 15: Permissible N in the n46 band REF (NR-ARFCN).

[0119]

[0120] Table 18: NR-ARFCN applicable in the n263 band.

[0121]

[0122] 4) Single-cell with multiple bands.

[0123] In NR, there are many discrete narrowband frequency bands (such as 700MHz, some of which only have 5MHz bandwidth). One possible approach is to aggregate these frequency band resources together and utilize them jointly.

[0124] When designing synchronization grids in 5G, one guiding principle is that at least one synchronization grid can be used to transmit SSBs in any carrier. Because the deployment location of carriers and channel grids is very flexible, and coexistence with LTE needs to be considered in certain frequency bands, the spacing between synchronization grids is very small. This results in very high power consumption when the terminal blindly searches for SSBs according to the synchronization grid.

[0125] 6G systems may reuse 5G frequency bands for standalone deployment, or they may use MRSS with 5G. Furthermore, new frequency bands may be introduced for 6G. In this context, how terminals discover 6G cells—including searching for 6G synchronization signals or broadcast channels—and how to reduce the number of search attempts, are crucial for minimizing power consumption and improving cell access speed.

[0126] Furthermore, in the 5G synchronization grid, two sets of synchronization grids are introduced for different bandwidths in the 0-1GHz range, and two sets of synchronization grids are also introduced for different bandwidths in the 0-3GHz NTN scenario. These two sets of synchronization grids do not overlap, making the protocol more complex.

[0158] Optionally, the first preset frequency position or the second preset frequency position can be agreed upon by the protocol or configured on the network side.

[0159] Optionally, the values ​​of the first preset frequency position and the second preset frequency position can be the same or different.

[0160] Optionally, the values ​​of the first interval and the second interval can be the same or different.

[0161] Optionally, the values ​​of the first step length and the second step length can be the same or different.

[0162] Optionally, the values ​​of the first offset and the second offset can be the same or different.

[0163] In one embodiment, the first frequency position may be determined based on a first preset frequency position; or, the first frequency position may be determined based on a first interval; or, the first frequency position may be determined based on a first interval and a first step length; or, the first frequency position may be determined based on a first interval and a first offset; or, the first frequency position may be determined based on a first interval, a first offset, and a first step length.

[0164] In one embodiment, the second frequency position may be determined based on a second preset frequency position; or, the second frequency position may be determined based on a second interval; or, the second frequency position may be determined based on a second interval and a second step size; or, the second frequency position may be determined based on a second interval and a second offset; or, the second frequency position may be determined based on a second interval, a second offset, and a second step size.

[0165] In one embodiment of this application, the second frequency position includes at least a portion of the frequency positions corresponding to the first wireless technology, or the second frequency position overlaps with at least a portion of the frequency positions corresponding to the first wireless technology; and the first frequency position includes at least a portion of the frequency positions corresponding to the second wireless technology, or the first frequency position overlaps with at least a portion of the frequency positions corresponding to the second wireless technology.

[0166] Optionally, in one implementation, the first frequency position reuses the sync raster or the first global frequency point in the frequency position corresponding to 5G, and the second frequency position is the sync raster or the first global frequency point in a specially defined frequency position corresponding to 6G. The first frequency position is suitable for Multi-RAT Spectrum Sharing (MRSS) and sharing frequency bands with 5G, or for co-deployment or coexistence, or for 5G and 6G to share the first signal. The second frequency position is suitable for initial search, thereby reducing the power consumption of the terminal.

[0167] In one embodiment of this application, the first frequency position includes at least a portion of the frequency positions corresponding to the first wireless technology, or the first frequency position overlaps with at least a portion of the frequency positions corresponding to the first wireless technology; and the second frequency position includes at least a portion of the frequency positions corresponding to the first wireless technology, or the second frequency position overlaps with at least a portion of the frequency positions corresponding to the first wireless technology.

[0168] Optionally, in one implementation, the first frequency position is a synchronization raster or a first global frequency point in a specially defined frequency position corresponding to 6G, and the second frequency position is a synchronization raster or a first global frequency point in another specially defined set of frequency positions corresponding to 6G. The second frequency position is suitable for initial searching to reduce power consumption, while the first frequency position can be further used for transmission.

[0169] Optionally, in one implementation, the first frequency position is used for 5G compatibility, for example, when MRSS shares a frequency band with 5G, or is deployed or coexists with it; it can also be understood that the first frequency position is mainly to ensure deployment flexibility and may be more densely packed. The second frequency position is sparser, which is more conducive to terminal power saving.

[0170] In one embodiment, the first frequency location includes at least a portion of the frequency location corresponding to the second wireless technology, or the first frequency location overlaps at least partially with the frequency location corresponding to the second wireless technology.

[0171] For example, the first frequency location may include at least a portion of the 5G frequency location, or the first frequency location and the 5G frequency location may at least partially overlap.

[0172] When MRSS shares frequency bands with 5G, is deployed on the same frequency, or coexists with it, 5G and 6G may share the same SSB, PSS, or SSS. Alternatively, the base station may directly use the 5G frequency position to transmit the 6G SSB. Because the second frequency position is designed differently from the 5G frequency position, it does not achieve RB-level alignment with the 5G carrier within the frequency band, but the 5G frequency position happens to achieve RB alignment with the 5G carrier. In this case, using the 5G frequency position as the first frequency position can reduce the resources required for forced puncturing or rate matching due to inter-operation.

[0173] In one embodiment of this application, the first frequency position and the second frequency position satisfy at least one of the following:

[0174] (1) The first frequency position overlaps at least partially with the second frequency position;

[0175] (2) The first interval corresponding to the first frequency position is less than or equal to the second interval corresponding to the second frequency position;

[0176] In this embodiment, the second interval corresponding to the second frequency position is greater than or equal to the first interval corresponding to the first frequency position.

The terminal prioritizes searching for or at least searches for the second frequency position, thereby saving power consumption by reducing the number of searches.

[0179] (4) The first offset corresponding to the first frequency position is the whole set or superset of the second offset corresponding to the second frequency position.

[0180] That is, the second offset corresponding to the second frequency position is a subset of the first offset corresponding to the first frequency position. For example, the first offset corresponding to the first frequency position includes a, b, and c, while the second offset corresponding to the second frequency position only includes b.

[0181] In one embodiment of this application, at least a portion of the first frequency position overlaps with at least a portion of the second frequency position, wherein the second frequency position is a subset of the first frequency position.

[0182] In one embodiment of this application, the first interval corresponding to the first frequency position is less than or equal to the second interval corresponding to the second frequency position, and the second interval is a multiple of the first interval.

[0183] For example, the first interval corresponding to the first frequency position is g1, and the second interval corresponding to the second frequency position is g1*A, where A is a multiple and A can be any real number.

[0184] In this embodiment, the second interval is a multiple of the first interval, and the terminal prioritizes searching for or at least searches for the second frequency position, thereby saving power consumption by reducing the number of searches.

[0185] In one embodiment of this application, the first step length corresponding to the first frequency position is less than or equal to the second step length corresponding to the second frequency position, and the second step length is a multiple of the first step length.

[0186] For example, the first step length corresponding to the first frequency position is g2, and the second step length corresponding to the second frequency position is g2*A, where A is a multiple and A can be any real number.

[0187] In this embodiment, the second step size is a multiple of the first step size. The terminal can prioritize searching for or at least search for the second frequency position, thereby saving power consumption by reducing the number of searches.

[0188] In one embodiment of this application, the second offset corresponding to the second frequency position is equal to the first offset corresponding to the first frequency position.

[0189] In another embodiment of this application, the offset corresponding to the frequency position is zero, or the second offset corresponding to the second frequency position is zero, or the first offset corresponding to the first frequency position is zero.

[0190] In this embodiment, a zero offset corresponding to a frequency position means that the offset corresponding to the frequency position may not exist, or a zero second offset corresponding to the second frequency position means that the first offset corresponding to the first frequency position does not exist, or a zero first offset corresponding to the first frequency position means that the second offset corresponding to the second frequency position does not exist.

[0191] In one embodiment of this application, the first interval corresponding to the first frequency position is equal to the second interval corresponding to the second frequency position, or the first step length corresponding to the first frequency position is equal to the second step length corresponding to the second frequency position.

[0192] The first frequency position and the second frequency position correspond to different parts of at least one of the following: band, bandgroup, band combination, frequency group, frequency range, and carrier group.

[0193] Optionally, the first offset corresponding to the first frequency position is not equal to the second offset corresponding to the second frequency position.

[0194] Optionally, the second offset corresponding to the second frequency position is not zero, and the first offset corresponding to the first frequency position is zero; or, the second offset corresponding to the second frequency position is zero, and the first offset corresponding to the first frequency position is not zero.

[0195] In this embodiment, the second offset corresponding to the second frequency position exists, while the first offset corresponding to the first frequency position does not exist, or the second offset corresponding to the second frequency position does not exist, while the first offset corresponding to the first frequency position exists.

[0196] In one implementation, a set of frequency positions is defined, with the first frequency position and the second frequency position corresponding to different subsets of this set of frequency positions.

[0197] In one embodiment of this application, the first interval includes a first multiple of the interval corresponding to the frequency position of the second wireless technology.

[0198] Optionally, the frequency location corresponding to the second wireless technology may be spaced at least one of 1.2MHz, 1.44MHz, 17.28MHz, and 69.12MHz.

[0199] In one embodiment, the first interval is the interval gap corresponding to the 5G frequency position multiplied by a first multiple, for example, the first interval = 1.2MHz * first multiple or 1.44MHz * first multiple or 17.28MHz * first multiple or 69.12Hz * first multiple.

[0200] In another embodiment of this application, the first interval includes a frequency location corresponding interval of the second wireless technology, the interval including at least one of the following: 1.2MHz, 1.44MHz, 17.28MHz, 69.12MHz, and the length of the first step is not 0.

[0201] In one implementation, the first interval is the interval gap corresponding to the 5G frequency position multiplied by a first multiple, for example, the first interval = 1.2MHz * first multiple or 1.44MHz * first multiple or 17.28MHz * first multiple or 69.12Hz * first multiple, and there is a first step length.

[0202] In one embodiment of this application, the first multiple or the length of the first step is less than or equal to (i.e., does not exceed) at least one of the following:

[0203] (1) A first value, wherein the first value is Y2 / Y1 or Floor(Y2 / Y1) or Ceil(Y2 / Y1), or the maximum value that is less than or equal to Floor(Y2 / Y1) or Ceil(Y2 / Y1) and is a multiple of a specific value;

[0204] For example, when MRSS shares a frequency band with 5G, or is deployed or coexists with 5G, 5G and 6G share PSS or SSS but do not share PBCH. The bandwidth (Y2) of 6G's PBCH is less than the bandwidth (Y1) of 5G's PBCH, thus directly introducing a subset of 5G's frequency positions as 6G's frequency positions.

[0205] (2) A second value, wherein the second value is Y1 / Y2 or Floor(Y1 / Y2) or Ceil(Y1 / Y2), or the second value is less than or equal to Floor(Y1 / Y2) or Ceil(Y1 / Y2) and is the maximum value that is a multiple of a specific value;

[0206] (3) A third value, wherein the third value is X1 / X2 or Floor(X1 / X2) or Ceil(X1 / X2), or the maximum value that is less than or equal to Floor(X1 / X2) or Ceil(X1 / X2) and is a multiple of a specific value;

[0207] For example, when MRSS shares a frequency band with 5G, or is deployed or coexists with 5G, 5G and 6G share the same SSB. However, the carrier bandwidth (X2) of 6G defined under the same frequency band is greater than the carrier bandwidth (X1) of 5G. Thus, a subset of the frequency positions of 5G is directly introduced as the frequency positions of 6G. Furthermore, related to the frequency band or MRSS, sparse frequency positions can be used for frequency bands with LTE or NR (part of the search capability can be used for the search of SSBs of LTE or NR).

[0208] (4) A fourth value, wherein the fourth value is X2 / X1 or Floor(X2 / X1) or Ceil(X2 / X1), or the fourth value is less than or equal to Floor(X2 / X1) or Ceil(X2 / X1) and is the maximum value that is a multiple of a specific value;

[0209] (5) The fifth value, wherein the fifth value is (X2-Y2+Z2) / (X1-Y1+Z1) or Floor((X2-Y2+Z2) / (X1-Y1+Z1)) or Ceil((X2-Y2+Z2) / (X1-Y1+Z1)), or the fifth value is less than or equal to Floor((X2-Y2+Z2) / (X1-Y1+Z1)) or Ceil((X2-Y2+Z2) / (X1-Y1+Z1)) and is the maximum value of a multiple of a specific value;

[0210] (6) A sixth value, wherein the sixth value is Gap1 / (X2-Y2+Z2) or Floor(Gap1 / (X2-Y2+Z2)) or Ceil(Gap1 / (X2-Y2+Z2)), or the sixth value is less than or equal to Floor(Gap1 / (X2-Y2+Z2)) or Ceil(Gap1 / (X2-Y2+Z2)) and is the maximum value of a specific multiple;

[0211] (7) The seventh value, which is X2 / Gap1 or Floor(X2 / Gap1) or Ceil(X2 / Gap1), or the seventh value is less than or equal to Floor(X2 / Gap1) or Ceil(X2 / Gap1) and is the maximum value of a multiple of a specific value;

[0212] (8) An eighth value, wherein the eighth value is (X2-Y2+Z2) / Gap1 or Floor((X2-Y2+Z2) / Gap1) or Ceil((X2-Y2+Z2) / Gap1), or the eighth value is less than or equal to the maximum value of Floor((X2-Y2+Z2) / Gap1) or Ceil((X2-Y2+Z2) / Gap1);

[0213] (9) The ninth value, which is 3, 8 or 16;

[0214] (10) The tenth value is the product of the eleventh value and the twelfth value. The eleventh value is the step size corresponding to the frequency position corresponding to the second wireless technology. The twelfth value includes at least one of the following: the first value, the second value, the third value, the fourth value, the fifth value, the sixth value, the seventh value, the eighth value, and the ninth value.

[0215] For example, if 5G has a step size of 3 in a certain frequency band, and Floor((X2-Y2+Z2) / (X1-Y1+Z1))=2, then it can be assumed that the multiple or step size corresponding to 6G should not exceed 2*3=6. If the GSCN granularity is 1.44MHz, then the frequency position of 6G will actually only appear once every 6*1.44MHz. Assuming the multiple is equal to 5, the formula is expressed as 3000MHz+N*1.44*6MHz, or the formula is still expressed as 3000MHz+N*1.44MHz, but the step size is 6.

[0227] Optionally, the carrier bandwidth may include, but is not limited to, the minimum carrier bandwidth (CHmin). For example, the carrier bandwidth may also be the maximum carrier bandwidth, or typical bandwidth, or specific bandwidth, or a multiple of the minimum carrier bandwidth. For example, X2 is the maximum carrier bandwidth of the second wireless technology. Optionally, the specific bandwidth may be agreed upon by the protocol or configured on the network side.

[0365] In one embodiment of this application, the offset, or the first offset, or the second offset, satisfies at least one of the following:

[0366] (1) The offset, or the first offset, or the second offset is zero;

[0367] Optionally, without considering subcarrier or RB-level alignment with frequency positions of 100kHz or 10kHz or multiples thereof, the offset or first offset or second offset may not exist.

[0369] Optionally, subcarrier-level alignment or RB-level alignment may be implemented at frequency locations of 10 kHz or multiples thereof, wherein the offset or first offset or second offset is a multiple of 10 kHz, because 5G that shares a frequency band with MRSS or is deployed or coexists with it is still allowed to be deployed at frequency locations of 10 kHz or 100 kHz.

[0371] i.10kHz*(-1,0,1);

[0372] ii. 10kHz + a * 30kHz;

[0374] For example, the offset, or the first offset, or the second offset, is -40,0,40kHz.

[0376] iii. 20kHz + a * 30kHz;

[0377] Where a can be -1, 0 or 1.

[0380] iv. 10kHz*(-9,-8,…,+8) or 10kHz*(-8,-7,…,+9) or 10kHz*(0,+1,…,+17);

Further, shfit can be considered, resulting in 2.7MHz*N+0. Another embodiment is: if the interval is 2535 and shfit is 10kHz*(-1,0,1), then the possible position of the frequency is 2535kHz*N+kHz*(-1,0,1)+0.

[0392] For example, in Tables 8-25-2 above, if the interval is 4710kHz, the possible position of the frequency position is 4.71MHz*N+shift+O; if the interval is 4680kHz, the possible position of the frequency position is 4.68MHz*N+shift+O. OO can be a base value, and 0 can be 0. Furthermore, shifit can also be considered.

[0416] (6) Frequency band number.

[0417] In one embodiment of this application, the first preset frequency position is determined based on at least one of the following:

[0419] For example, the first preset frequency position is fixed as the center of the frequency band, or the first preset frequency position = the center of the frequency band + the first offset.

[0420] (2) Carrier center, or carrier center and the first offset;

[0421] For example, the first preset frequency position is fixed as the carrier center, or the first preset frequency position = carrier center + first offset.

[0422] (3) Frequency band boundaries and carrier bandwidth;

[0423] For example, the first preset frequency position = frequency band center + first carrier bandwidth / 2, or the first preset frequency position = frequency band center - first carrier bandwidth / 2.

[0424] Optionally, the first carrier bandwidth can be the maximum or minimum carrier bandwidth corresponding to the first preset frequency position.

[0425] (4) Frequency center, carrier bandwidth and first offset;

[0426] For example, the first preset frequency position = frequency band center + first carrier bandwidth / 2 + first offset, or the first preset frequency position = frequency band center - first carrier bandwidth / 2 + first offset.

[0427] (5) Frequency band location or corresponding frequency domain range;

[0428] (6) Frequency band number.

[0429] In one embodiment of this application, the second preset frequency position is determined based on at least one of the following:

[0430] (1) The frequency band center, or the frequency band center and the second offset;

[0431] For example, the second preset frequency position is fixed at the center of the frequency band, or the second preset frequency position = the center of the frequency band + the second offset.

[0432] (2) Carrier center, or carrier center and the second offset;

[0433] For example, the second preset frequency position is fixed at the carrier center, or the second preset frequency position = carrier center + second offset.

[0434] (3) Frequency band boundaries and carrier bandwidth;

[0435] For example, the second preset frequency position = frequency band center + second carrier bandwidth / 2, or the second preset frequency position = frequency band center - second carrier bandwidth / 2.

[0436] Optionally, the second carrier bandwidth can be the maximum or minimum carrier bandwidth corresponding to the second preset frequency position.

[0439] (5) Frequency band location or corresponding frequency domain range;

[0440] (6) Frequency band number.

[0441] It should be noted that the carrier bandwidth in this article can also be replaced with the channel bandwidth.

[0442] In one embodiment of this application, the first signal period corresponding to the first frequency position is different from the first signal period corresponding to the second frequency position, or

[0443] The pattern of the first signal corresponding to the first frequency position is different from the pattern of the first signal corresponding to the second frequency position.

[0444] In one embodiment of this application, the method further includes:

[0445] The terminal determines the priority corresponding to the first frequency position or the second frequency position based on at least one of the following: terminal type, terminal requirements, terminal capabilities, and service information.

[0446] Optionally, the terminal type includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) terminal, Reduced Capability (redcap) terminal, Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) terminal, Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) terminal, Terrestrial Network (TN) terminal, and vehicle-type terminal.

[0447] Optional, the service information includes, but is not limited to: Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communication (URLLC) service and eMBB service.

[0448] Optionally, the terminal's capabilities include, but are not limited to: supporting URLL services, supporting eMBB services, and supporting minimum carrier bandwidth.

[0449] Optionally, the terminal's requirements may include, but are not limited to, power-saving requirements.

[0450] For example, terminals of the LPWA, Redcap, or NTN types may prioritize searching for the first frequency location; or, the terminal may prioritize searching for the first frequency location and then search for the second frequency location; or, the terminal may prioritize searching for the second frequency location and then search for the first frequency location.

[0451] For example, an eMBB terminal or a TN type terminal may prioritize searching for the first frequency location; or, the terminal may prioritize searching for the first frequency location and then search for the second frequency location; or, the terminal may prioritize searching for the second frequency location and then search for the first frequency location.

[0452] For example, a terminal that needs to save power may prioritize searching for the first frequency location; or, the terminal may prioritize searching for the first frequency location and then search for the second frequency location; or, the terminal may prioritize searching for the second frequency location and then search for the first frequency location.

[0453] For example, in a vehicle-type terminal, the terminal prioritizes searching for the first frequency location; or, the terminal prioritizes searching for the first frequency location and then searches for the second frequency location; or, the terminal prioritizes searching for the second frequency location; or, the terminal prioritizes searching for the second frequency location and then searches for the first frequency location.

[0454] For example, during URLLC service, the terminal prioritizes searching for the first frequency location; or, the terminal prioritizes searching for the first frequency location and then searches for the second frequency location; or, the terminal prioritizes searching for the second frequency location; or, the terminal prioritizes searching for the second frequency location and then searches for the first frequency location.

[0455] For example, during eMBB service, the terminal prioritizes searching for the first frequency location; or, the terminal prioritizes searching for the first frequency location and then searches for the second frequency location; or, the terminal prioritizes searching for the second frequency location; or, the terminal prioritizes searching for the second frequency location and then searches for the first frequency location.

[0456] For example, among minimum carrier bandwidths of 3MHz, 5MHz, 7MHz, 10MHz, 15MHz, 20MHz, 40MHz, and 100MHz, the first UE prioritizes searching for the first frequency position, and then searches for the second frequency position; while among minimum carrier bandwidths of 3MHz, 5MHz, 7MHz, 10MHz, 15MHz, 20MHz, 40MHz, and 100MHz, the second UE prioritizes searching for the second frequency position, and then searches for the first frequency position. Alternatively, the first UE prioritizes searching for the second frequency position, and then searches for the first frequency position, while the second UE prioritizes searching for the first frequency position, and then searches for the second frequency position.

[0457] In one embodiment of this application, the second frequency position or the first frequency position is determined based on at least one of the following:

[0458] A frequency band group, a carrier bandwidth group, at least a portion of the frequency bands in the frequency band group, and at least a portion of the carrier bandwidth in the carrier bandwidth group.

[0459] In one embodiment of this application, at least one of the specific frequency position, the interval, the step size, the offset, x, y, the first preset frequency position, the first interval, the first step size, the first offset, x1, y1, the second preset frequency position, the second interval, the second step size, the second offset, x2 and y2, is determined based on a frequency band group or a carrier bandwidth group.

[0460] x is the carrier bandwidth corresponding to the frequency position, y is the first signal bandwidth at the frequency position, x1 is the carrier bandwidth corresponding to the first frequency position, y1 is the first signal bandwidth at the first frequency position, x2 is the carrier bandwidth corresponding to the second frequency position, and y2 is the first signal bandwidth at the second frequency position.

[0461] For example, the first signal bandwidth includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: synchronization signal bandwidth, broadcast channel bandwidth, WUS bandwidth, PRACH bandwidth, LP-SS bandwidth, LP-WUS bandwidth, etc., where bandwidth can also be understood as the number of resources included, such as the number of RBs, where Y can be the bandwidth of the first-order synchronization signal or broadcast channel, the bandwidth of the second-order synchronization signal or broadcast channel, the bandwidth of the first-class synchronization signal or broadcast channel, and the bandwidth of the second-order synchronization signal or broadcast channel.

[0462] Optionally, determination based on frequency band group or carrier bandwidth group includes: determination based on the range or minimum bandwidth corresponding to the frequency band group or carrier bandwidth group.

[0463] For example, bands p and q each have a bandwidth of only 5MHz, but when designing the second and first frequency positions, the minimum bandwidth of 10MHz corresponding to the band group can be considered.

[0464] For example, if the total span from frequency band p to frequency band q is 100MHz, the frequency position can be determined based on the minimum bandwidth (e.g., 10MHz) within the carrier bandwidth of 100MHz. Only the frequency positions within the range of frequency band p and frequency band q are the actual frequency positions.

[0465] Optionally, y or y1 or y2 is related to the signal corresponding to the frequency band group or carrier bandwidth group. For example, if frequency band p supports the transmission of a first type of first signal, and frequency band q supports the transmission of a second type of first signal and a first type of first signal, then y or y1 or y2 is determined based on frequency band q.

[0466] Optionally, for a frequency band group or carrier bandwidth group, the corresponding frequency position, first frequency position, or second frequency position is a specific frequency position.

[0467] In one embodiment of this application, the specific frequency position, the interval, the step size, the offset, the first preset frequency position, the first interval, the first step size, the first offset, x1, y1, the second preset frequency position, the second interval, the second step size, the second offset, and at least one of x2 and y2 are determined based on at least a portion of the frequency bands in the frequency band group or at least a portion of the carrier bandwidth of the carrier bandwidth group.

[0468] In one embodiment of this application, the at least part of the frequency band includes at least one of the following:
