The network device 102 may include at least one of an evolved NodeB (eNB), a next generation evolved NodeB (ng-eNB), a next generation NodeB (gNB), a node B (NB), a home nodeB (HNB), a home evolved nodeB (HeNB), a wireless backhaul device, a radio network controller (RNC), a base station controller (BSC), a base transceiver station (BTS), a base band unit (BBU), a mobile switching center, a base station in a 6G communication system, an open RAN, a cloud RAN, a base station in other communication systems, and an access node in a Wi-Fi system, but is not limited thereto.

[0121] In some embodiments, the network device 102 includes a non-terrestrial network (NTN) device. For example, the communication system 100 implements New Radio (NR) communication via a satellite or drone platform.

[0122] It can be understood that the communication system described in the embodiment of the present disclosure is for the purpose of more clearly illustrating the technical solution of the embodiment of the present disclosure, and does not constitute a limitation on the technical solution proposed in the embodiment of the present disclosure. Ordinary technicians in this field can know that with the evolution of the system architecture and the emergence of new business scenarios, the technical solution proposed in the embodiment of the present disclosure is also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0123] The following embodiments of the present disclosure may be applied to the communication system 100 shown in FIG1 , or a portion thereof, but are not limited thereto. The entities shown in FIG1 are illustrative only. The communication system may include all or part of the entities shown in FIG1 , or may include other entities outside of FIG1 . The number and form of the entities are arbitrary, and the entities may be physical or virtual. The connection relationships between the entities are illustrative only. The entities may be connected or disconnected, and the connection may be in any manner, including direct or indirect, wired or wireless.

[0124] The embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to Long Term Evolution (LTE), LTE-Advanced (LTE-A), LTE-Beyond (LTE-B), SUPER 3G, IMT-Advanced, 4th generation mobile communication system (4G), 5th generation mobile communication system (5G), 5G new radio (NR), future radio access (FRA), new radio access technology (RAT), new radio (NR), new radio access (NX), future generation radio access (FX), Global System for Mobile communications (GSM (registered trademark)), CDMA2000, Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB), IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.20, Ultra-WideBand (UWB), Bluetooth (registered trademark), Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) networks, Device-to-Device (D2D) systems, Machine-to-Machine (M2M) systems, Internet of Things (IoT) systems, Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X), systems utilizing other communication methods, and next-generation systems based on and extending these methods.

[0125] It is worth noting that in some scenarios, such as the RRM requirements in the Ka-band scenario of the NTN network, the RRM delay requirement in the Ka-band scenario is longer due to the consideration of the Rx beam sweeping factor. For example, the cell identification delay requirement in the RRC connected state is: Tidentify_intra_with_index = (T PSS / SSS_sync_intra +TSSB_measurement_period_intra+T SSB_time_index_intra )ms.

[0126] In some examples, according to relevant protocol provisions, when the length of the discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle is less than or equal to 320ms, T PSS / SSS_sync_intra ,TSSB_measurement_period_intra,T SSB_time_index_intra It can be determined according to Table 1:

[0127] Table 1

[0128] In the above parameters, Mpss / sss_sync_w / o_gaps and M meas_period_w / o_gaps The Rx beam sweeping factor is taken into account, and in some cases its value is 40 and in some cases its value is 24.

[0129] In some examples, when the DRX cycle length is 320 ms, the terminal (UE) requires at least 0.32*40*1.5+0.32*40*1.5+0.32*24*1.5=49.92 s to complete the cell identification process.

[0130] In some examples, in order to reduce the RRM delay requirement of NTN in the Ka-band scenario and improve the mobility performance in the Ka-band scenario, it is necessary to solve the problem of shortening the corresponding delay requirement of the terminal in the NTN Ka-band scenario.

[0191] According to an optional implementation, the terminal performs measurement corresponding to the receive beam expansion factor, including but not limited to one of the following situations:

[0192] (1) The terminal performs measurements during the cell search process in the RRC connected state based on the receive beam expansion factor X1 during the cell search process in the RRC connected state. For example, if the receive beam expansion factor X1 during the cell search process is 4, the terminal completes the measurements during the cell search process in the RRC connected state through four receive beam scans.

[0193] (2) The terminal performs intra-frequency measurement / inter-frequency measurement in the RRC connected state based on the receive beam expansion factor X2 in the intra-frequency measurement / inter-frequency measurement process in the RRC connected state.

[0197] (6) The terminal performs measurement in the cell detection process in the RRC idle state based on the receive beam spreading factor X6 in the cell detection process in the RRC idle state.

[0198] (7) The terminal performs intra-frequency measurement / inter-frequency measurement in the RRC idle state based on the receive beam expansion factor X7 in the intra-frequency measurement / inter-frequency measurement process in the RRC idle state.

[0199] (8) The terminal performs L3 measurement based on the receive beam expansion factor Y1 during the L3 measurement process. Optionally, after receiving the first indication information, the terminal performs L3 measurement based on the receive beam expansion factor Y1 during the L3 measurement process. For example, if the capability indication information indicates a receive beam expansion factor Y1 = 4, the terminal completes the L3 measurement through four receive beam scans.

[0200] (9) The terminal performs L1 measurement based on the receive beam expansion factor Y2 during the L1 measurement process. Optionally, after receiving the first indication information, the terminal performs L1 measurement based on the receive beam expansion factor Y2 during the L1 measurement process.

[0202] According to the above embodiment, the terminal performs measurements based on the receive beam expansion factor, so the terminal can complete the RRM measurement with fewer receive beam scans, thereby reducing the RRM latency requirement. Optionally, the terminal can report capability indication information to the network device, so that the network device can manage the terminal and / or configure the first indication information for the terminal based on the capability indication information of the terminal. Optionally, the network device can send the first indication information to the terminal based on the capability indication information reported by the terminal to indicate whether the terminal performs measurements based on the receive beam expansion factor.

[0203] It should be noted that in the parameters of Table 1, Mpss / sss_sync_w / o_gaps and M meas_period_w / o_gaps It is generally a fixed value specified by the protocol. Taking Mpss / sss_sync_w / o_gaps as an example, assuming that the value of Mpss / sss_sync_w / o_gaps is 24, it can be understood as Mpss / sss_sync_w / o_gaps = 4 (number of measurement samples) * 6 (number of receive beam scans), or Mpss / sss_sync_w / o_gaps = 3 (number of measurement samples) * 8 (number of receive beam scans). It can be seen that if the terminal can use fewer receive beam scans to complete the measurement, for example, using 4 receive beam scans to complete the measurement, then Mpss / sss_sync_w / o_gaps and Mpss / sss_sync_w / o_gaps will be the same. meas_period_w / o_gaps It can be reduced to 16 or 12. Therefore, the cell identification delay requirement is reduced.
