FIG. 1 illustrates a schematic diagram of an NTN system in which different cells are covered by satellites in different orbits. For example, the Satellite #1 is a GSO, and the Satellite #2 and Satellite #3 are NGSOs. The Cell 1 is a servicing cell of a user equipment, and the Cell 2 and Cell 3 are neighbouring cells of the user equipment. When the user equipment performs a neighbouring cell measurement, the user equipment may not have a capability of supporting the simultaneous reception of signals from satellites in different orbits as different orbital satellites correspond to the servicing cell and the neighbouring cell.

An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for transmitting information, which is performed by a user equipment. FIG. 2 is a flowchart of a method for transmitting information according to an embodiment, and as illustrated in FIG. 2, the method includes:

- step 201, sending indication information to a network device, the indication information being configured to indicate whether the user equipment supports a capability of simultaneously measuring signals from different satellite networks.

In an implementation, the user equipment sends the indication information to the network device for example via radio resource control (RRC) signaling, and the indication information is configured to indicate whether the user equipment supports a capability of simultaneously measuring signals from different satellite networks. For example, the user equipment sends the indication information to the network device via RRC signaling such as IEMeasAndMobParameters or IEMeasAndMobParametersMRDC.

In an implementation, the satellite network corresponding to the servicing cell of the user equipment is different from the satellite network corresponding to the neighbouring cell. The user equipment sends, via RRC signaling, the indication information to the network device, and the indication information is configured to indicate whether the user equipment supports the capability of simultaneously measuring signals from different satellite networks.

For example, the capability of simultaneously measuring the signals from different satellite networks refers to the capability of the user equipment for simultaneously measuring a signal from an other satellite that is different from the satellite corresponding to the servicing cell without affecting an normal operation of the user equipment in the servicing cell. The normal operation of the user equipment in the servicing cell here includes receiving and sending a data control service, for example receiving and sending a synchronization signal block (SSB), a sounding reference signal (SRS), a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) and other reference signals.

In the above implementation, the user equipment reports to the network device whether the user equipment supports the capability of simultaneously measuring signals from different satellite networks, so that the user equipment may employ different scheduling schemes during a neighbouring cell measurement, without additional consideration of scheduling limitation requirements.

An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for transmitting information, which is performed by a user equipment. FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a method for transmitting information according to an embodiment, and as illustrated in FIG. 3, the method includes:

- step 301, sending indication information to a network device, the indication information being configured to indicate whether the user equipment supports a capability of simultaneously measuring signals from different satellite networks; and
- step 302, in response to the indication information indicating that the user equipment supports the capability of simultaneously measuring the signals from the different satellite networks, performing, by the user equipment, user equipment scheduling within a servicing cell during a neighbouring cell measurement performed by the user equipment.

In an implementation, the satellite network corresponding to the servicing cell of the user equipment is different from the satellite network corresponding to the neighbouring cell. The user equipment sends, for example via RRC signaling, the indication information to the network device, and the indication information is configured to indicate whether the user equipment supports the capability of simultaneously measuring the signals from different satellite networks. If the user equipment supports the capability of simultaneously measuring the signals from different satellite networks, the user equipment simultaneously performs normal user equipment scheduling within the serving cell during a neighbouring cell measurement performed by the user equipment. That is, the user equipment simultaneously measures the signals from different satellite networks.

In an implementation, the user equipment scheduling refers to normal scheduling performed by the user equipment, and includes at least one of receiving and/or sending a data control service, measuring a downlink reference signal, sending an uplink reference signal and performing a layer 1 (L1) measurement.

For example, the downlink reference signal includes SSB, CSI-RS, the uplink reference signal includes SRS, the L1 measurement includes radio link monitoring (RLM), candidate beam detection (CBD), beam failure detection (BFD), Layer 1-reference signal receiving power (L1-RSRP).

In the above implementation, the user equipment reports to the network device whether the user equipment supports a capability of simultaneously measuring signals from different satellite networks, and performs normal scheduling within a serving cell during a neighbouring cell measurement when supporting the capability of simultaneously measuring the signals from different satellite networks, which does not need to additionally consider scheduling limitation requirements. Therefore, the user equipment may adopt a suitable scheduling strategy according to the capability thereof.

An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for transmitting information, which is performed by a user equipment. FIG. 4 is a flowchart of a method for transmitting information according to an embodiment, and as illustrated in FIG. 4, the method includes:

- step 401, sending indication information to a network device, the indication information being configured to indicate whether the user equipment supports a capability of simultaneously measuring signals from different satellite networks; and
- step 402, in response to the indication information indicating that the user equipment does not support the capability of simultaneously measuring the signals from the different satellite networks, stopping, by the user equipment, user equipment scheduling within a servicing cell for a set time period.

The servicing cell corresponds to a first satellite network, the neighbouring cell corresponds to a second satellite network, and the first satellite network is different from the second satellite network. The set time period is a sum of a time period for the user equipment performing the neighbouring cell measurement and an additional time period.

In an implementation, the satellite network corresponding to the servicing cell of the user equipment is different from the satellite network corresponding to the neighbouring cell. The user equipment sends, for example via RRC signaling, the indication information to the network device, and the indication information is configured to indicate whether the user equipment supports the capability of simultaneously measuring the signals from different satellite networks. If the user equipment does not support the capability of simultaneously measuring the signals from different satellite networks, the user equipment does not perform normal user equipment scheduling within the serving cell for a set time period including a neighbouring cell measurement period. That is, the user equipment does not simultaneously measure the signals from different satellite networks.

For example, the time period during which the user equipment performs the neighbour cell measurement is agreed by a communication protocol. For example, the time period for the neighbour cell measurement is agreed to be 5 ms. The set time period is a sum of the time period for the neighbour cell measurement and an additional time period.

In an implementation, the user equipment scheduling refers to normal scheduling performed by the user equipment and includes at least one of: receiving and/or sending a data control service; measuring a downlink reference signal; sending an uplink reference signal; and performing an L1 measurement.

For example, the downlink reference signal includes SSB and CSI-RS, the uplink reference signal includes SRS, and the L1 measurement includes RLM, CBD, BFD and L1-RSRP.

In the above implementation, the user equipment reports to the network device whether the user equipment supports a capability of simultaneously measuring signals from different satellite networks, and does not perform normal scheduling within a serving cell during a neighbouring cell measurement when not supporting the capability of simultaneously measuring the signals from different satellite networks, which does not need to additionally consider scheduling limitation requirements. Therefore, the user equipment may adopt a suitable scheduling strategy according to the capability thereof.

An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for transmitting information, performed by a user equipment, and including:

- sending indication information to a network device, the indication information being configured to indicate whether the user equipment supports a capability of simultaneously measuring signals from different satellite networks, and simultaneously measuring the signals from the different satellite networks including an intra-frequency measurement of the signals from the different satellite networks and an inter-frequency measurement of the signals from the different satellite networks.

In an implementation, the user equipment sends, for example via RRC signaling, the indication information to the network device, and the indication information is configured to indicate whether the user equipment supports the capability of simultaneously measuring the signals from different satellite networks. Here, simultaneously measuring the signals from the different satellite networks includes an intra-frequency measurement of the signals from the different satellite networks and an inter-frequency measurement of the signals from the different satellite networks.

The intra-frequency measurement means that both the serving cell and the neighbouring cell are on a same center frequency point. The inter-frequency measurement means that the serving cell and the neighbouring cell are not on the same center frequency point.

In an implementation, the inter-frequency measurement is an inter-frequency measurement without a measurement gap (GAP), i.e., the user equipment does not require the measurement gap during the inter-frequency measurement of the signals from the different satellite networks.

For example, the user equipment reports a capability of not requiring an inter-frequency measurement gap (interFrequencyConfig-NoGap-r16) to the network device, and the network device configures an interFrequencyConfig-NoGap-r16 indication instruction and sends the instruction to the user equipment to indicate on which frequencies the user equipment does not require a measurement gap when performing the inter-frequency measurement.

It is to be noted that the measurement gap means reserving a portion of time (i.e., measurement GAP time) when performing the inter-frequency measurement, during which the UE does not send and receive any data, but tunes the receiver to a target cell frequency point to perform the inter-frequency measurement, and then switches to the current cell when the GAP time expires.

An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for transmitting information, performed by a user equipment and including:

- sending indication information to a network device, the indication information being configured to indicate whether the user equipment supports a capability of simultaneously measuring signals from different satellite networks, and the different satellite networks including at least one of a geo-stationary satellite network and a non-geo-stationary satellite network.

Here, the different satellite networks include at least one of a geo-stationary satellite network and a non-geo-stationary satellite network.

In an implementation, the satellite networks corresponding to the servicing cell of the user equipment and the neighbouring cell are different, which are a GSO network and a NGSO network, respectively. The user equipment sends, via RRC signaling, the indication information to the network device, and the indication information is configured to indicate whether the user equipment supports the capability of simultaneously measuring the signals from different satellite networks.

In an implementation, the satellite networks corresponding to the servicing cell of the user equipment and the neighbouring cell are different, which both are GSO networks. The user equipment sends, via RRC signaling, the indication information to the network device, and the indication information is configured to indicate whether the user equipment supports the capability of simultaneously measuring the signals from different satellite networks.

- step 601, receiving indication information from a user equipment, the indication information being configured to indicate whether the user equipment supports a capability of simultaneously measuring signals from different satellite networks; and
- step 602, in response to the indication information indicating that the user equipment supports the capability of simultaneously measuring the signals from the different satellite networks, performing, by the network device, network device scheduling within a servicing cell of the user equipment during a neighbouring cell measurement performed by the user equipment.

In an implementation, the satellite network corresponding to the servicing cell of the user equipment is different from the satellite network corresponding to the neighbouring cell. The network device receives the indication information sent by the user equipment for example via RRC signaling, and the indication information is configured to indicate whether the user equipment supports the capability of simultaneously measuring the signals from different satellite networks. If the network device determines, via the indication information reported by the user equipment, that the user equipment supports the capability of simultaneously measuring the signals from different satellite networks, the network device simultaneously performs normal network scheduling within the serving cell of the user equipment during a neighbouring cell measurement performed by the user equipment.

In an implementation, the network device scheduling refers to normal scheduling performed by the network device within the serving cell of the user equipment, and includes at least one of receiving and/or sending a data control service; receiving an uplink reference signal; and sending a downlink reference signal.

For example, the uplink reference signal includes SRS, and the downlink reference signal includes SSB and CSI-RS.

Therefore, the network device may adopt different scheduling solutions during the neighbouring cell measurement performed by the user equipment.

- step 702, in response to the indication information indicating that the user equipment does not support the capability of simultaneously measuring the signals from the different satellite networks, stopping, by the network device, network device scheduling within a servicing cell of the user equipment for a set time period.

In an implementation, the satellite network corresponding to the servicing cell of the user equipment is different from the satellite network corresponding to the neighbouring cell. The network device receives the indication information sent by the user equipment for example via RRC signaling, and the indication information is configured to indicate whether the user equipment supports the capability of simultaneously measuring the signals from different satellite networks. If the network device determines, via the indication information reported by the user equipment, that the user equipment does not support the capability of simultaneously measuring the signals from different satellite networks, the network device does not perform normal network scheduling within the serving cell of the user equipment for a set time period including a neighbouring cell measurement period of the user equipment.

For example, the uplink reference signal includes SRS, and the downlink reference signal includes SSB and CSI-RS.

In the above implementation, the network device receives information regarding whether the user equipment supports the capability of simultaneously measuring signals from different satellite networks, which is reported by the user equipment, and does not perform normal network scheduling within the serving cell of the user equipment during the neighbouring cell measurement of the user equipment when the user equipment does not support the capability of simultaneously measuring the signals from different satellite networks, which does not need to additionally consider scheduling limitation requirements.

Here, simultaneously measuring the signals from the different satellite networks includes an intra-frequency measurement of the signals from the different satellite networks and an inter-frequency measurement of the signals from the different satellite networks.

For example, after receiving a capability of not requiring an inter-frequency measurement gap (interFrequencyConfig-NoGap-r16) reported by the user equipment, the network device configures an interFrequencyConfig-NoGap-r16 indication instruction and sends the instruction to the user equipment to indicate on which frequencies the user equipment does not require a measurement gap when performing the inter-frequency measurement.
