Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for communication processing is performed by a terminal, and includes: obtaining measurement information of an adjacent satellite beam footprint of a satellite beam footprint to which the terminal currently belongs; and measuring a reference signal of the adjacent satellite beam footprint based on the measurement information.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A method for communication processing, performed by a terminal, comprising: obtaining, from a network device, measurement information of an adjacent satellite beam footprint of a satellite beam footprint to which the terminal currently belongs; and measuring a reference signal of the adjacent satellite beam footprint based on the measurement information, wherein the measurement information comprises resource configuration information of the reference signal of the adjacent satellite beam footprint, and the resource configuration information comprises at least one of a reference signal resource identity, reference signal resource time domain information, reference signal resource frequency domain information, reference signal resource code domain information, or reference signal resource antenna port information. 2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the satellite beam footprint to which the terminal currently belongs and the adjacent satellite beam footprint have a same physical cell identity. 3 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein the measurement information further comprises frequency domain resource information of the adjacent satellite beam footprint. 4 . The method according to claim 3 , wherein the frequency domain resource information comprises one or more of a component carrier and a bandwidth part. 5 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the satellite beam footprint to which the terminal currently belongs and the adjacent satellite beam footprint have different physical cell identities. 6 . The method according to claim 5 , wherein the measurement information comprises at least one of a physical cell identity of a cell to which the adjacent satellite beam footprint belongs, or a satellite identity. 7 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the satellite beam footprint to which the terminal currently belongs and the adjacent satellite beam footprint are in a coverage area of a same satellite. 8 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein a frequency domain resource used by the satellite beam footprint to which the terminal currently belongs is the same as a frequency domain resource used by the adjacent satellite beam footprint. 9 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein a component carrier used by the satellite beam footprint to which the terminal currently belongs is the same as a component carrier used by the adjacent satellite beam footprint, a bandwidth part used by the satellite beam footprint to which the terminal currently belongs is different from a bandwidth part used by the adjacent satellite beam footprint; and the measurement information comprises bandwidth part information, and comprises at least one of a physical cell identity or a satellite identity. 10 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the satellite beam footprint to which the terminal currently belongs and the adjacent satellite beam footprint are in coverage areas of different satellites. 11 . The method according to claim 10 , wherein the measurement information further comprises at least one of bandwidth part information, a physical cell identity or a satellite identity. 12 . The method according to claim 10 , wherein a component carrier used by the satellite beam footprint to which the terminal currently belongs is different from a component carrier used by the adjacent satellite beam footprint; and the measurement information comprises at least one of component carrier information, a physical cell identity or a satellite identity. 13 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein a frequency domain resource used by the satellite beam footprint to which the terminal currently belongs is different from a frequency domain resource used by the adjacent satellite beam footprint. 14 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the measurement information comprises at least one of an identity of the adjacent satellite beam footprint or a satellite identity. 15 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein before measuring the reference signal of the adjacent satellite beam footprint based on the measurement information, the method further comprises at last least one of: determining that a reference signal received power of the satellite beam footprint to which the terminal currently belongs is lower than a specified received power threshold, or determining that a reference signal received quality is lower than a specified received quality threshold. 16 . The method according to claim 15 , further comprising: in response to determining that at least one of the reference signal received power or the reference signal received quality of the adjacent satellite beam footprint satisfies a preset reselection trigger condition, reselecting the adjacent satellite beam footprint. 17 . A terminal, comprising: a processor; and a memory for storing instructions executable by the processor; wherein the processor is configured to: obtain, from a network device, measurement information of an adjacent satellite beam footprint of a satellite beam footprint to which the terminal currently belongs; and measure a reference signal of the adjacent satellite beam footprint based on the measurement information, wherein the measurement information comprises resource configuration information of the reference signal of the adjacent satellite beam footprint, and the resource configuration information comprises at least one of a reference signal resource identity, reference signal resource time domain information, reference signal resource frequency domain information, reference signal resource code domain information, or reference signal resource antenna port information. 18 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein instructions that, when executed by a processor of a mobile terminal, cause the mobile terminal to perform: obtaining, from a network device, measurement information of an adjacent satellite beam footprint of a satellite beam footprint to which the mobile terminal currently belongs; and measuring a reference signal of the adjacent satellite beam footprint based on the measurement information, wherein the measurement information comprises resource configuration information of the reference signal of the adjacent satellite beam footprint, and the resource configuration information comprises at least one of a reference signal resource identity, reference signal resource time domain information, reference signal resource frequency domain information, reference signal resource code domain information, or reference signal resource antenna port information.
