Methods and apparatuses for a measurement report in a ntn environment

An apparatus, comprising:

• at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions;
• at least one receiving circuitry;
• at least one transmitting circuitry;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium, the at least one receiving circuitry and the at least one transmitting circuitry,
• wherein the computer-executable instructions cause the at least one processor to implement a method, the method comprising:
• receiving a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message, wherein the RRC reconfiguration message includes measurement configuration information;
• performing a measurement procedure based on the measurement configuration information;
• determining whether one or more reporting events are satisfied, wherein the one or more reporting events trigger to transmit a measurement report;
• and
• in response to satisfying a reporting event, transmitting the measurement report.

• receiving a measurement report, wherein the measurement report comprises a result of a measurement procedure performed by a user equipment (UE);
• and
• determining whether to perform a handover procedure based on the result of the measurement procedure.
