The method includes transmitting first indication information to a base station of a non-terrestrial network (NTN), the first indication information indicating whether a terminal has successfully performed a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) measurement or not, and position information of the terminal obtained by performing the GNSS measurement is used to determine compensation information, which is used for synchronization compensation of data transmission between the terminal and the base station.

[0039] The base station 120 may be an evolved base station (eNB) used in a 4G system. Alternatively, the base station 120 may be a base station (gNB) employing a centralized distributed architecture in a 5G system.

[0045] In order to facilitate the understanding of persons skilled in the art, the embodiments of the present disclosure enumerate multiple embodiments to clearly describe the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Of course, those skilled in the art can understand that the multiple embodiments provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented individually, can be implemented together with the methods of other embodiments in the embodiments of the present disclosure, or can be implemented individually or in combination with some methods in other related technologies. The embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto.

[0046] To better understand the embodiments of the present disclosure, a related scenario of paging is described below.

[0047] The continuous emergence of new Internet applications, such as augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and vehicle-to-vehicle communications, is driving increasing demands on wireless communication technologies and spurring their continuous evolution to meet the needs of these applications. Cellular mobile communication technology is currently undergoing a new-generation technology evolution. A key feature of this new-generation technology is its ability to support flexible configuration of multiple service types. Different service types have different requirements for wireless communication technologies. For example, the primary requirements for the Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) service type focus on high bandwidth and high speed. The primary requirements for the Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communication (uRLLC) service type focus on high reliability and low latency. The primary requirements for the Massive Machine Type Communication (mMTC) service type focus on a large number of connections. Therefore, new-generation wireless communication systems require flexible and configurable designs to support the transmission of multiple service types.

[0048] Satellite communications as a complement to terrestrial cellular communications systems offers at least one of the following advantages:

[0049] 1. Expanded coverage: In areas where cellular communication systems cannot reach or where coverage costs are high, such as ocean areas, deserts, and remote mountainous regions, satellite communication can be used to solve communication problems.

[0050] 2. Emergency communications: In extreme situations such as earthquakes where cellular communications infrastructure becomes unavailable, communications connections can be quickly established using satellite communications.

[0051] 3. Industrial applications. For example, in the case of delay-sensitive services that require long-distance transmission, the use of satellite communications can reduce the delay in service transmission.

[0052] In future wireless communication systems, it is predicted that satellite communication systems and terrestrial cellular communication systems will be gradually integrated to a higher degree, truly realizing the intelligent connection of everything.

[0053] In one embodiment, in a satellite communication scenario, since the signal transmission distance between the transmitting end and the receiving end is long, data transmission takes time. In the case of transmission having an uplink and downlink relationship, it is determined to introduce a parameter Koffset to compensate for the transmission delay.

[0054] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 2, the scenario is one in which the uplink and downlink timings at the base station are aligned, and referring to Figure 3, the scenario is one in which the uplink and downlink timings at the base station are not aligned.

[0055] In addition, the Koffset can be applied to various scenarios, such as Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) transmission scheduled by Downlink Control Information (DCI), Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) feedback information transmission, and Media Access Control (MAC) Control Element (MAC CE) transmission.

[0056] In one embodiment, in a satellite communication scenario, the terminal needs to know its location information to ensure uplink synchronization. For an Internet of Things (IoT) device terminal, simultaneous operation of a cellular module and a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) module is not supported, and only sporadic transmissions are supported.

[0057] In one embodiment, if a service with a relatively long transmission time is supported, the terminal needs to acquire GNSS information when the GNSS information expires. However, the method of transitioning Radio Resource Control (RRC) to an idle state in the related art introduces unnecessary delays and power consumption.

[0058] In one embodiment, the GNSS information can be reacquired by triggering the terminal to perform GNSS measurement. However, after the terminal performs the GNSS measurement, the base station cannot determine whether the terminal successfully performed the GNSS measurement. In this case, the base station and the terminal may have different understandings of the terminal's GNSS available time. Therefore, it is necessary to clarify how to notify the base station of the terminal's GNSS status.

[0059] As shown in FIG. 4, this embodiment provides an information reporting method, which is performed by a terminal and includes the following steps:

[0060] Step 41: Send first indication information to a base station of a non-terrestrial network (NTN).

[0061] The first indication information indicates whether the terminal has successfully performed Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) measurement or not, and the location information of the terminal obtained by the GNSS measurement is used to determine compensation information, which is used for synchronization compensation of data transmission between the terminal and the base station.

[0062] Here, the terminal according to the present disclosure may be, but is not limited to, a mobile phone, a wearable device, an in-vehicle terminal, a roadside unit (RSU), a smart home terminal, an industrial sensor device, and / or a medical device, etc. In some embodiments, the terminal may be a Redcap terminal or a NR terminal of a certain version (e.g., an R17 NR terminal).

[0063] The base station according to the present disclosure may be of various types, for example, a base station of a third generation mobile communication (3G) network, a base station of a fourth generation mobile communication (4G) network, a base station of a fifth generation mobile communication (5G) network, or other evolved base stations.

[0064] In one embodiment, a method may include performing a GNSS measurement to obtain a GNSS measurement result, where the GNSS measurement result may be a result of the terminal successfully performing the GNSS measurement, and sending first indication information to a base station of a non-terrestrial network (NTN), where the first indication information indicates that the terminal has successfully performed a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) measurement, and location information of the terminal obtained by performing the GNSS measurement is used to determine compensation information, where the compensation information is used for synchronization compensation of data transmission between the terminal and the base station.

[0065] In one embodiment, a method is to perform a GNSS measurement to obtain a GNSS measurement result, where the GNSS measurement result may be a result of the terminal failing to successfully perform the GNSS measurement, and to send first indication information to a base station of a non-terrestrial network (NTN), where the first indication information indicates that the terminal failed to successfully perform the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) measurement, and location information of the terminal obtained by performing the GNSS measurement is used to determine compensation information, where the compensation information is used for synchronization compensation of data transmission between the terminal and the base station.

[0066] In one embodiment, the GNSS measurement is performed based on trigger information transmitted from a base station to obtain a GNSS measurement result, where the GNSS measurement result may be a result of whether the terminal successfully performed the GNSS measurement. First indication information is transmitted to a base station of a non-terrestrial network (NTN), where the first indication information indicates whether the terminal successfully performed a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) measurement, and location information of the terminal obtained by performing the GNSS measurement is used to determine compensation information, where the compensation information is used for synchronization compensation of data transmission between the terminal and the base station. In some embodiments, the trigger information may be carried by RRC signaling, MAC CE, or physical layer signaling DCI, and the trigger information is used to trigger the terminal to perform the GNSS measurement.

[0067] In one embodiment, the GNSS measurement is performed based on measurement configuration information transmitted from a base station to obtain a GNSS measurement result, where the GNSS measurement result may be a result of whether the terminal successfully performed the GNSS measurement. First indication information is transmitted to a base station of a non-terrestrial network (NTN), where the first indication information indicates whether the terminal successfully performed a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) measurement, and location information of the terminal obtained by performing the GNSS measurement is used to determine compensation information, where the compensation information is used for synchronization compensation of data transmission between the terminal and the base station. In some embodiments, the trigger information may be carried by RRC signaling, MAC CE, or physical layer signaling DCI, and the measurement configuration information is used to configure a time-domain or frequency-domain resource location at which the terminal performs the GNSS measurement.

[0068] In one embodiment, the method includes performing the GNSS measurement based on predetermined measurement configuration information to obtain a GNSS measurement result, where the GNSS measurement result may be a result of whether the terminal successfully performed the GNSS measurement. First instruction information is sent to a base station of a non-terrestrial network (NTN), where the first instruction information indicates whether the terminal successfully performed a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) measurement, and location information of the terminal obtained by performing the GNSS measurement is used to determine compensation information, where the compensation information is used for synchronization compensation of data transmission between the terminal and the base station. The predetermined measurement configuration information may be pre-stored in the terminal.

[0069] In one embodiment, the method includes transmitting first indication information to a base station of a non-terrestrial network (NTN) via a predetermined resource, the first indication information indicating whether a terminal has successfully performed a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) measurement or not, and location information of the terminal obtained by performing the GNSS measurement is used to determine compensation information, which is used for synchronization compensation of data transmission between the terminal and the base station. The predetermined resource may be a time domain resource and / or a frequency domain resource.

[0070] Here, the predetermined resource is a resource that is determined based on the resource used for GNSS measurement.

[0071] 5, the predetermined resource is determined based on a GNSS measurement window configured for the terminal, for example, the predetermined resource is a resource that is spaced apart from the end position of the GNSS measurement window by a predetermined time and / or frequency offset.

[0072] In one embodiment, first instruction information is transmitted to a base station of a non-terrestrial network (NTN) via a resource indicated by the received second instruction information, wherein the first instruction information indicates whether the terminal has successfully performed a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) measurement or has not successfully performed the measurement, location information of the terminal obtained by performing the GNSS measurement is used to determine compensation information, the compensation information is used for synchronization compensation of data transmission between the terminal and the base station, and the second instruction information is information transmitted from the base station to the terminal.

[0073] In one embodiment, first instruction information is transmitted to a base station of a non-terrestrial network (NTN) via a resource indicated by the received second instruction information, wherein the first instruction information indicates whether the terminal has successfully performed a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) measurement or has not successfully performed the measurement, location information of the terminal obtained by performing the GNSS measurement is used to determine compensation information, the compensation information is used for synchronization compensation of data transmission between the terminal and the base station, and the second instruction information may be trigger information for triggering the terminal to perform the GNSS measurement.

[0074] For example, referring to FIG. 6, the terminal may include information indicating a resource location in a GNSS measurement trigger command (corresponding to trigger information), and after the terminal obtains the trigger command, may report the first indication information at the resource location indicated by the trigger command. In one embodiment, a first indication information is sent to a base station of a non-terrestrial network (NTN), where the first indication information indicates whether a terminal has successfully performed a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) measurement or not, and location information of the terminal obtained by performing the GNSS measurement is used to determine compensation information, and the compensation information is used for synchronization compensation of data transmission between the terminal and the base station. In response to the terminal successfully performing the GNSS, the first indication information indicates a validity duration of the GNSS information.

[0075] In one embodiment, a first indication information is sent to a base station of a non-terrestrial network (NTN), where the first indication information indicates whether a terminal has successfully performed a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) measurement or not, and position information of the terminal obtained by performing the GNSS measurement is used to determine compensation information, and the compensation information is used for synchronization compensation of data transmission between the terminal and the base station. In response to the terminal successfully performing the GNSS, the first indication information indicates a time duration required to perform the GNSS positioning (GNSS position fix time duration).

[0076] In one embodiment, a method transmits first indication information to a base station of a non-terrestrial network (NTN), where the first indication information indicates whether a terminal has successfully performed Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) measurements, and location information of the terminal obtained by performing the GNSS measurements is used to determine compensation information, which is used for synchronization compensation of data transmission between the terminal and the base station. In response to the terminal successfully performing the GNSS measurements, the first indication information indicates information about the terminal's successful performance of the GNSS measurements and / or information about whether GNSS assistance information has been changed. The GNSS assistance information includes information about a validity period of the GNSS information and / or a time length required for GNSS positioning.
