Abstract
A method and device for cell (re)selection in an EFB-based non-terrestrial network includes the steps of: receiving, from a satellite, cell selection configuration information including information about a cell service timer indicating when each of one or more cells can provide a communication service; decreasing the cell service timer of each of the one or more cells; measuring the reception quality of each of the one or more cells; and performing a cell selection procedure on the basis of the cell service timer of each of the one or more cells.
Claims20
A method of a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
- decreasing, by a processor, a cell service timer for each of at least one cell, which indicates a time during which communication services can be provided for each of the at least one cell;
- determining, by the processor, a candidate cell set including one or more cells for which the cell service timer exceeds a first preset value;
- and
- performing, by the processor, a cell selection procedure based on the cell service timer of each of the one or more cells belonging to the candidate cell set.
A user equipment (UE) comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory storing one or more instructions executable by the processor, wherein the one or more instructions are executed by the processor to perform:
- decreasing a cell service timer for each of at least one cell, which indicates a time during which communication services can be provided for each of the at least one cell;
- determining a candidate cell set including one or more cells for which the cell service timer exceeds a first preset value;
- and
- performing a cell selection procedure based on the cell service timer of each of the one or more cells belonging to the candidate cell set.
