[0152] In some embodiments, to save power, when the UE is not within the coverage of the TN cell, the UE does not perform cell reselection measurement on the TN network cell.

[0153] Furthermore, in some embodiments, in order to further save power, when the UE is within the coverage of the TN cell, the measurement behavior performed by the UE for the TN neighboring cell may be different if the position relationship between the UE and the center of the TN neighboring cell is different. Therefore, it is necessary to study issues such as the UE's mobility management in the NTN-TN and the corresponding measurement behavior.

[0154] FIG2 is an interactive diagram of a measurement method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG2 , an embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a measurement method, which is applied to a communication system and includes:

[0155] Step S2101: The terminal sends the second information.

Alternatively, the second information indicates whether the terminal supports measurement enhancement. Alternatively, the second information indicates measurement behaviors supported by the terminal. Alternatively, the second information indicates measurement enhancement supported by the terminal. Optionally, the measurement enhancement may include at least one of measurement relaxation and measurement enhancement.

[0157] In some embodiments, the second information is used to indicate one or more of the following: the terminal supports measurement enhancement; the terminal supports measurement relaxation; and the terminal supports measurement acceleration. For example, if the second information indicates that the terminal supports measurement enhancement, the terminal may support at least one of measurement relaxation and measurement acceleration. For another example, if the second information indicates that the terminal supports measurement relaxation, the terminal may only support measurement relaxation. Alternatively, if the second information indicates that the terminal supports both measurement relaxation and measurement acceleration, the terminal supports both measurement enhancement measurement behaviors.

[0158] In some embodiments, the second information may be carried by a first information element (IE). Optionally, the first information element may be, for example, a "MeasAndMobParameters" information element. Optionally, the first information element may also be a "MeasAndMobParametersMRDC" information element.

[0159] In some embodiments, the second information may correspond to one or more fields in the first information element.

[0160] In a possible implementation manner, the second information may be indicated by the first information element in the following manner: RelaxedMeas_TNCell ENUMERATED{supported} OPTIONAL; AcceleratedMeas_TNCell ENUMERATED{supported} OPTIONAL;

[0161] If the "RelaxedMeas_TNCell" field is included in the first information element and the value corresponding to the field is "supported", the second information may be used to indicate that the terminal supports measurement relaxation. If the "AcceleratedMeas_TNCell" field is included in the first information element and the value corresponding to the field is "supported", the second information may be used to indicate that the terminal supports measurement acceleration.

[0162] In a possible implementation manner, the second information may be indicated through the first information element in the following manner: EnhancedMeas_TNCell ENUMERATED{supported} OPTIONAL;

[0163] If the first information element includes the "EnhancedMeas_TNCell" field and the value corresponding to the field is "supported", the second information may be used to indicate that the terminal supports measurement enhancement. For example, the terminal may support at least one of measurement acceleration and measurement enhancement.

[0164] It is understandable that the name of the first information element, the names of the various fields, and the contents under the fields are merely exemplary, and those skilled in the art may adapt the above information. For example, the value under the "RelaxedMeas_TNCell" field may be a Boolean value. For example, the value under the "RelaxedMeas_TNCell" field may include at least one of "false," "true," "0," and "1." Furthermore, this field may be carried or hosted by an information element other than "MeasAndMobParameters" and "MeasAndMobParametersMRDC," which is not limited in this embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0165] It is worth noting that the terminal's support for a certain measurement behavior may indicate that the terminal is capable of performing the corresponding measurement behavior on TN cells during cell reselection. For example, if the terminal supports measurement acceleration, it may indicate that the terminal is capable of performing measurement acceleration on TN cells during cell reselection. If the terminal supports measurement enhancement, it may indicate that the terminal is capable of performing measurement relaxation and / or measurement acceleration on TN cells during cell reselection.

[0166] In some embodiments, the network device receives the second information.

[0167] In some embodiments, the second information may be “capability indication information”, “measurement enhancement support information”, “capability reporting information”, etc. The embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the name of the second information.

[0168] Step S2102: The network device sends first information.

[0169] In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate a measurement behavior performed by the terminal on a terrestrial network TN cell during a cell reselection process. Optionally, the first information is used to indicate the first measurement behavior. Optionally, the first information may be carried or hosted by, for example, a system information block (SIB).

[0170] In some embodiments, the first measurement behavior indicated by the first information is a measurement behavior supported by the terminal. Optionally, the network device determines the first information based on the second information. Optionally, the network device determines the first measurement behavior indicated by the first information as a measurement behavior supported by the terminal.

[0171] In some embodiments, the TN cell may include multiple cells, and the network device may indicate the measurement behavior corresponding to each TN cell through the first information, or indicate the measurement behavior corresponding to the first cell through the first information. Optionally, the first cell is the cell corresponding to the first measurement behavior.

[0172] For example, the TN cell includes cell A, cell B and cell C. The network device determines that the measurement behavior corresponding to cell A is measurement relaxation, the measurement behavior corresponding to cell B is measurement enhancement, and the measurement behavior corresponding to cell C is the second measurement behavior. The network device can indicate through the first information that the measurement behavior corresponding to cell A is measurement relaxation and the measurement behavior corresponding to cell B is measurement enhancement, but does not indicate the measurement behavior corresponding to cell C through the first information, or the measurement behavior corresponding to cell C is default.

[0173] Optionally, the second measurement behavior is a measurement behavior corresponding to when the terminal does not perform measurement enhancement. Optionally, the second measurement behavior may be a measurement behavior of measuring the TN cell according to the current measurement interval. Optionally, the second measurement behavior is a measurement behavior of measuring the TN cell according to the first measurement interval. Optionally, the first measurement interval may be a measurement interval pre-agreed upon by a protocol. For example, when the battery level is higher than a preset threshold, the terminal may determine the second measurement behavior and perform measurements on the TN cell according to the second measurement behavior to obtain a measurement result.

[0174] In some embodiments, the second information may be carried by a second information element (IE). Optionally, the second information element may be, for example, a "ServingCellConfigCommonSIB" information element.

[0175] In some embodiments, the first information may correspond to one or more fields in the second information element.

[0176] In a possible implementation manner, the first information may be indicated through the second information element in the following manner: RelaxedMeas_TNCell_flag ENUMERATED{true} OPTIONAL; AcceleratedMeas_TNCell_flag ENUMERATED{true} OPTIONAL;

[0177] Wherein, if the "RelaxedMeas_TNCell_flag" field is included in the second information element and the corresponding value of this field is "true", the first information can be used to indicate measurement relaxation, and the terminal can perform measurement relaxation on the TN cell during the cell reselection process. If the "AcceleratedMeas_TNCell_flag" field is included in the second information element and the corresponding value of this field is "true", the first information can be used to indicate measurement acceleration, and the terminal can perform measurement acceleration on the TN cell during the cell reselection process.

[0178] In a possible implementation manner, the first information may be indicated through a second information element in the following manner: EnhancedMeas_TNCell_flag ENUMERATED{true} OPTIONAL;

[0179] Among them, when the "EnhancedMeas_TNCell_flag" field is included in the second information element and the corresponding value of the field is "true", the first information can be used to indicate measurement enhancement, and the terminal can perform measurement relaxation and / or measurement acceleration on the terrestrial network TN cell during the cell reselection process.

[0180] It is understandable that the name of the above-mentioned second information element, the names of each field, and the contents under the field are only exemplary, and those skilled in the art may adaptively modify the above-mentioned information. For example, the value under the "RelaxedMeas_TNCell_flag" field may be a Boolean value. For example, the value under the "RelaxedMeas_TNCell_flag" field may include at least one of "false", "true", "0", and "1". Furthermore, this field may be carried or hosted by an information element other than "ServingCellConfigCommonSIB", which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0181] In some embodiments, the terminal receives first information.

[0182] In some embodiments, the first information may be “measurement indication information”, “measurement behavior indication”, “measurement behavior configuration information”, etc. The embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the name of the first information.

[0183] Step S2103: The network device sends third information.

[0184] In some embodiments, the third information is used to indicate at least one of a first threshold value and a second threshold value. The first threshold value is greater than the second threshold value. Optionally, the first threshold value and the second threshold value are used by the terminal to determine a measurement behavior to be performed on a TN cell during a cell reselection process. Optionally, the first threshold value and the second threshold value are used by the terminal to determine a first measurement behavior.

[0185] In some embodiments, the third information may be carried by a SIB. Alternatively, the third information may be carried by a third information element. Alternatively, the third information element may be, for example, a "SIB2" information element.

[0186] In some embodiments, the third information may correspond to one or more fields in a third information element.

[0187] In a possible implementation manner, the third information may be indicated by a third information element in the following manner: distanceThresh1 INTEGER (0..65525) OPTIONAL, --Need R distanceThresh2 INTEGER (0..65525) OPTIONAL, --Need R

[0188] The value under the "distanceThresh1" field may be used to indicate the first threshold value, and the value under the "distanceThresh2" field may be used to indicate the second threshold value. For example, if the value under the "distanceThresh1" field is equal to 100, the third information is used to indicate that the first threshold value is equal to 100, and if the value under the "distanceThresh2" field is equal to 50, the third information is used to indicate that the second threshold value is equal to 50.

[0189] It is understood that the name of the third information element, the names of the various fields, and the contents of the fields are merely exemplary, and those skilled in the art may adapt the above information. For example, the values ​​of the "distanceThresh1" and "distanceThresh2" fields may range from 0 to 500, and the numeric type may be, for example, a floating point value. This is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0190] In some embodiments, the terminal receives the third information. Optionally, the terminal determines a measurement behavior to be performed on the TN cell during the cell reselection process based on the first threshold and the second threshold. Optionally, the terminal determines the first measurement behavior based on the first threshold and the second threshold. The determination by the terminal of the measurement behavior to be performed on the TN cell during the cell reselection process based on the first threshold and the second threshold will be described in detail in the optional implementation of step S2104 below and is not repeated here.

[0191] In some embodiments, the third information may be "threshold value information", "threshold value indication", "threshold configuration information", "system message block", etc. The embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the name of the third information.

[0192] Step S2104: The terminal determines a first measurement behavior.

[0193] In some embodiments, the first measurement behavior is a measurement behavior performed by the terminal on a terrestrial network (TN) cell during cell reselection. Optionally, the first measurement behavior includes at least one of the following: measurement enhancement, measurement relaxation, or measurement acceleration. Optionally, the terminal performs measurement enhancement, such as measurement relaxation and / or measurement enhancement, on the TN cell during cell reselection. Optionally, the terminal performs measurement relaxation on the TN cell during cell reselection. Optionally, the terminal performs measurement acceleration on the TN cell during cell reselection.

[0194] In some embodiments, the terminal may further determine a second measurement behavior. Optionally, the second measurement behavior is a measurement behavior corresponding to when the terminal does not perform measurement enhancement. Optionally, the second measurement behavior may be a measurement behavior of measuring the TN cell according to the current measurement interval. Optionally, the second measurement behavior is a measurement behavior of measuring the TN cell according to the first measurement interval. Optionally, the first measurement interval may be a measurement interval pre-agreed upon by a protocol. For example, when the battery level is higher than a preset threshold, the terminal may determine the second measurement behavior and perform measurements on the TN cell according to the second measurement behavior to obtain a measurement result.

[0195] In some embodiments, a TN cell may include multiple cells, and the terminal may determine a corresponding measurement behavior for each TN cell. Measurements may be performed on each cell based on the measurement behavior corresponding to each TN cell. For example, the TN cells include cell A, cell B, and cell C. The terminal may determine that the measurement behavior corresponding to cell A is the first measurement behavior, such as measurement relaxation, the measurement behavior corresponding to cell B is measurement acceleration, and the measurement behavior corresponding to cell C is the second measurement behavior. The terminal then performs measurements on each cell based on the measurement behavior corresponding to each cell.

[0196] In some embodiments, the terminal may determine the first measurement behavior according to an instruction of the network device. Alternatively, the terminal may determine the first measurement behavior by itself. Specifically, the terminal may determine the first measurement behavior in the following manner:

[0197] Method 1: Determine the first measurement behavior according to the first information sent by the network device. For optional implementations of the network device sending the first information, refer to the optional implementations of step S2102 above, which will not be described in detail here.

[0198] For example, if the first information is used to indicate measurement relaxation, the terminal may determine that the first measurement behavior is measurement relaxation, and perform measurement relaxation on the TN cell.

[0199] Alternatively, if the TN cell includes cell A, cell B, and cell C, and the first information is used to indicate that the measurement behavior corresponding to cell A is measurement acceleration and the measurement behavior corresponding to cell B is measurement relaxation, the terminal can determine, based on the first information, that the first measurement behavior corresponding to cell A is measurement acceleration and the first measurement behavior corresponding to cell B is measurement relaxation. In addition, the terminal can also determine that cell C corresponds to the second measurement behavior.

[0200] Method 2: The terminal itself determines the first measurement behavior.

[0201] In some possible implementations, the terminal may determine the first measurement behavior based on its own power level. For example, if the terminal power level is lower than a first preset threshold, the terminal may determine that the first measurement behavior is measurement relaxation, and then perform measurement relaxation on the TN cell. If the power level is higher than a second preset threshold, the terminal may determine that the first measurement behavior is measurement acceleration, and then perform measurement acceleration on the TN cell. For another example, if the terminal power level is higher than or equal to the first preset threshold and lower than or equal to the second preset threshold, it may be determined that the second measurement behavior is performed on the TN cell.

[0202] In some possible implementations, the terminal may determine the first measurement behavior based on a distance between the first location and the second location. Optionally, the first location is the location of the terminal, and the second location is the center location of the TN cell.

[0203] Optionally, the terminal determines the first measurement behavior according to the first threshold and the second threshold. Optionally, the terminal performs a measurement behavior on a terrestrial network TN cell during a cell reselection process according to a relationship between the distance and the first threshold and / or the second threshold.

[0204] Optionally, the first threshold and the second threshold may be indicated by the network device via third information, for example, via step S2103. Optionally, the first threshold and the second threshold may be specified by a protocol. Optionally, the first threshold and the second threshold may be determined based on the likelihood of cell reselection. For example, if the distance between the first location and the second location is greater than or equal to the first threshold, the likelihood of the cell reselecting to the TN cell is low. If the distance between the first location and the second location is greater than the second threshold, the likelihood of the cell reselecting to the TN cell is high.

[0205] In some embodiments, determining the first measurement behavior according to the distance between the first position and the second position includes:

[0206] It is determined that the distance is less than the second threshold value, or greater than the first threshold value, and it is determined to perform measurement enhancement on the TN cell.

[0207] Optionally, the terminal may further determine to perform measurement enhancement on the TN cell when determining that the distance is equal to the first threshold value, or equal to the second threshold value.

[0208] In some embodiments, the measurement enhancement may include at least one of measuring relaxation and measuring acceleration, and determining the first measurement behavior according to the distance between the first position and the second position, including at least one of the following:

[0209] Determining that the distance is greater than a first threshold, and determining to perform measurement relaxation on the TN cell;

[0210] It is determined that the distance is less than a second threshold value, and it is determined to perform measurement acceleration on the TN cell.

[0211] Optionally, the terminal may further determine to perform measurement relaxation on the TN cell when determining that the distance is equal to the first threshold. Optionally, the terminal may further determine to perform measurement acceleration on the TN cell when determining that the distance is equal to the second threshold.

[0212] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0213] Determine that the distance is less than the first threshold value and greater than the second threshold value, and measure the TN cell according to the current measurement interval.

[0214] Optionally, the terminal may further measure the TN cell according to the current measurement interval when determining that the distance is equal to the first threshold or the second threshold.

[0215] It is understandable that when the distance is equal to the first threshold or the second threshold, the measurement behavior determined by the terminal may be determined according to actual needs or pre-configuration, and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit this.

[0216] Optionally, the TN cell may include multiple cells, and the terminal may determine a corresponding measurement behavior based on the distance between the terminal and the center of each TN cell. For example, the distance between the terminal and cell A is N, the distance between the terminal and cell B is M, and the distance between the terminal and cell C is L, where N is greater than a first threshold value, M is less than a second threshold value, and L is greater than the second threshold value and less than the first threshold value. The terminal may then determine to perform measurement enhancement, such as measurement relaxation, on cell A, perform measurement enhancement, such as measurement acceleration, on cell B, and perform a second measurement behavior on cell C, such as measuring cell C according to the current measurement interval.

[0217] Step S2105: The network device sends fourth information.

[0218] In some embodiments, the fourth information is used to indicate a first coefficient. Optionally, the first coefficient includes at least one of the following: a measurement enhancement coefficient; a measurement relaxation coefficient; and a measurement acceleration coefficient. Optionally, the first coefficient is used to indicate a scale at which the terminal performs the first measurement behavior. Optionally, the measurement relaxation coefficient is used to indicate a magnification factor for a measurement interval when the terminal performs measurement relaxation. Optionally, the measurement acceleration coefficient is used to indicate a reduction factor for a measurement interval when the terminal performs measurement relaxation. Optionally, the measurement enhancement coefficient may be used to indicate a relaxation coefficient for measurement relaxation and / or an enhancement coefficient for measurement enhancement performed by the terminal.

[0219] In some embodiments, the first coefficient may be, for example, a "scale factor," a "proportional factor," or a "scale factor," etc. The present disclosure does not limit the name of the first coefficient. For example, the measurement acceleration coefficient may also be referred to as a measurement acceleration factor or an acceleration proportional factor, etc., and the measurement relaxation coefficient may also be referred to as a measurement relaxation factor or a relaxation proportional factor, etc.

[0220] In some embodiments, the fourth information may be carried by a SIB. Alternatively, the fourth information may be carried by a fourth information element. Alternatively, the fourth information element may be, for example, a "SIB2" information element.

[0221] In some embodiments, the fourth information may correspond to one or more fields in a fourth information element.

[0222] In a possible implementation manner, the fourth information may be indicated by a fourth information element in the following manner: ScalingFactor_RelaedMeas INTEGER(2,3,4,5) OPTIONAL,--Need R ScalingFactor_AcceleratedMeas INTEGER(0.2,0.5,0.8) OPTIONAL,--Need R

[0223] Among them, the value under the "ScalingFactor_RelaedMeas" field can be used to indicate the measurement relaxation coefficient, and the value under the "ScalingFactor_AcceleratedMeas" field can be used to indicate the measurement acceleration coefficient. For example, if the value under the "ScalingFactor_RelaedMeas" field is 3, then the fourth information can be used to indicate that the measurement relaxation coefficient is equal to 3, and if the value under the "ScalingFactor_AcceleratedMeas" field is 0.5, then the fourth information can be used to indicate that the measurement acceleration coefficient is equal to 0.5. Furthermore, when the terminal performs measurement relaxation on a TN cell, the measurement interval can be magnified three times, and when the terminal performs measurement acceleration on a TN cell, the measurement interval can be reduced to 0.5 times the measurement interval of the previous moment.

[0224] In some embodiments, the fourth information may also be indicated in the following manner: ScalingFactor_EnhancedMeas INTEGER(2,3,4,5,6,7,8) OPTIONAL,--Need R

[0225] Among them, the value under the "ScalingFactor_EnhancedMeas" field can be used to indicate a measurement enhancement factor, which can be used, for example, to indicate a measurement amplification factor for measurement relaxation and / or an acceleration factor for measurement acceleration. For example, when the value under this field is 2, the measurement enhancement factor can be used to indicate that the measurement amplification factor is 2, or it can also be used to indicate that the measurement amplification factor is 0.2. Based on the measurement enhancement factor, the terminal can magnify the measurement interval by 2 times when measuring relaxation, and reduce the measurement interval to 0.2 times the measurement interval of the previous moment when measuring acceleration.

[0226] It is understood that the name of the fourth information element, the names of the various fields, and the contents of the fields are merely exemplary, and those skilled in the art may adapt the above information. For example, the value range of the "ScalingFactor_RelaedMeas" field may be 1-10, and the value range of the "ScalingFactor_AcceleratedMeas" field may be 0.3-0.7. This is not limited in the present embodiment.

[0227] Optionally, when the terminal performs measurement acceleration, the terminal's measurement interval and measurement delay requirement can be adjusted based on the measurement acceleration coefficient. Optionally, when the terminal performs measurement relaxation, the terminal's measurement interval and measurement delay requirement can be adjusted based on the measurement relaxation coefficient.

[0228] In some embodiments, the terminal receives fourth information.

[0229] In some embodiments, the fourth information may be "enhancement coefficient information", "relaxation factor and acceleration factor indication", "coefficient configuration information", "system message block", etc. The embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the name of the fourth information.

[0230] Step S2106: The terminal determines a first coefficient.

[0231] In some embodiments, the terminal may determine the first coefficient based on an instruction from the network device. Alternatively, the terminal may determine the first coefficient based on fourth information. Alternatively, the terminal may determine a measurement relaxation coefficient based on the fourth information. Alternatively, the terminal may determine a measurement acceleration coefficient based on the fourth information.

[0232] In some embodiments, the threshold value of the measurement relaxation factor and / or the measurement acceleration threshold factor for TN cell reselection is determined in a protocol predefined manner. For example, the protocol may define as follows: the terminal should be able to evaluate whether a newly detected inter-frequency cell meets the reselection criteria within the following measurement delay requirements: Optionally, It can indicate the current carrier measurement delay requirement. That is, it can represent the measurement delay requirement after the terminal performs measurement relaxation or measurement enhancement. carrier Indicates the number of carriers, K multi_SMTC,i represents the number of SMTC configurations in the i-th carrier, T detect,NR_Inter represents the inter-frequency measurement delay of a single carrier, and X may represent a first coefficient, such as a measurement relaxation coefficient, a measurement acceleration coefficient, or a measurement enhancement coefficient.

[0233] In some embodiments, the terminal may determine the first coefficient itself. Alternatively, the terminal obtains the first coefficient specified by a protocol. Alternatively, the terminal obtains the first coefficient from an upper layer(s).

[0234] Step S2107: The terminal performs measurement on the TN cell according to the first measurement behavior to obtain a measurement result.

[0235] In some embodiments, the terminal performs a first measurement action on a TN cell. Optionally, measurement enhancement is performed on the TN cell, such as measurement relaxation and / or measurement acceleration. Optionally, measurement relaxation is performed on the TN cell. Optionally, measurement acceleration is performed on the TN cell.

[0236] In some embodiments, the terminal performs measurement according to the first measurement behavior and the first coefficient. Optionally, the terminal performs measurement enhancement on the TN cell according to the first coefficient. Optionally, the terminal performs measurement relaxation on the TN cell according to the first coefficient. Optionally, the terminal performs measurement acceleration on the TN cell according to the first coefficient.

[0237] In some embodiments, the terminal may perform measurement relaxation on the TN cell according to the first coefficient, for example, by increasing the measurement interval for the TN cell during cell reselection. Alternatively, performing measurement relaxation on the TN cell may include performing measurements on the TN cell according to a second measurement interval, where the second measurement interval is smaller than the first measurement interval. Alternatively, performing measurement acceleration on the TN cell according to the first coefficient may include reducing the measurement interval for the TN cell during cell reselection. Alternatively, performing measurement relaxation on the TN cell may include performing measurements on the TN cell according to a third measurement interval, where the third measurement interval is larger than the first measurement interval.

[0238] Step S2108: The terminal sends the measurement result.

[0239] In some embodiments, before sending the measurement results, the terminal receives configuration information sent by the network device. The configuration information can be used to configure the manner in which the terminal sends the measurement results. For example, the configuration information can be used to configure the period at which the terminal sends the measurement results, or to configure the triggering event for the terminal to send the measurement results.

[0240] In some embodiments, the terminal may send the measurement results at a preset period. Optionally, the period may be configured by the network device through configuration information. Optionally, the terminal may send the measurement results when a first event is determined to be triggered. Optionally, the first event may be configured by the network device through configuration information.

[0241] In some embodiments, the terminal may further send fifth information. Optionally, the fifth information is used to indicate that the measurement result is obtained by performing the first measurement behavior. Optionally, the fifth information is used to indicate the measurement behavior performed by the terminal for each TN cell in the measurement result. For example, if the terminal measures multiple TN cells during the cell reselection process and sends the measurement results to the network device, the fifth information can be used to indicate the measurement behavior adopted by the terminal for each TN cell. For example, the terminal performs measurement relaxation on cell A, performs measurement acceleration on cell B, and performs the second measurement behavior on cell C without performing measurement enhancement to obtain the measurement result. The terminal may send the fifth information, which is used to indicate the measurement behavior performed by the terminal on cell A, cell B and cell C respectively.

[0424] Step S6101: The UE performs measurement enhancement on a TN network cell during cell reselection.

[0425] In some embodiments, the measurement enhancement includes at least one of measurement relaxation and measurement acceleration.

[0426] In some embodiments, the following UE capability indication information is introduced. Optionally, the UE sends at least one of the following capability indication information to the NTN serving cell. Optionally, the capability indication information may be, for example, the second information in the above embodiment.

[0427] Method 1:

[0428] UE capability 1: indicates the capability of the UE to perform measurement relaxation on TN network cells during cell reselection.

[0429] UE capability 2: information indicating the capability of the UE to perform accelerated measurements on TN network cells during cell reselection;

[0430] Method 2

[0431] UE capability: indicates the capability of the UE to perform enhanced measurements on TN network cells during cell reselection.

[0432] Optionally, the UE indicates the above UE capability indication information through IE MeasAndMobParameters or IE MeasAndMobParametersMRDC. For example, the indication method is as follows:

[0433] Method 1: RelaxedMeas_TNCell ENUMERATED{supported} OPTIONAL; AcceleratedMeas_TNCell ENUMERATED{supported} OPTIONAL;

[0434] Method 2: EnhancedMeas_TNCell ENUMERATED{supported} OPTIONAL.

[0435] In some embodiments, measurement relaxation and measurement acceleration indication information is introduced, and the NTN serving cell configures the UE to perform measurement relaxation and / or measurement through the system information block SIB, or configures the UE to perform measurement enhancement.

[0436] Optionally, the NTN serving cell instructs the UE to perform measurement relaxation and / or measurement acceleration, or measurement enhancement, on the TN cell during the cell reselection process through the IE ServingCellConfigCommonSIB. For example, the indication method is as follows:

The threshold value is defined as the distance between the current position of the UE and the center of the TN cell. The UE determines the measurement behavior of the UE in the cell reselection measurement based on the relationship between the distance between the current position and the center of the TN cell and the threshold value 1 and the threshold value 2.
