应理解，本文中术语“系统”和“网络”在本文中常被可互换使用。
为了方便对本申请实施例的理解，下面先对几个术语进行介绍。
一、非地面通信网络(Non-Terrestrial Network，NTN)
NTN技术一般采用卫星通信的方式向地面用户提供通信服务。相比地面蜂窝网通信，卫星通信具有很多独特的优点。首先，卫星通信不受用户地域的限制，例如一般的陆地通信不能覆盖海洋、高山、沙漠等区域由于无法搭设通信设备或由于人口稀少而不做通信覆盖，导致这些区域不能进行正常的通信。而对于卫星通信来说，由于一颗卫星可以覆盖较大的地面，加之卫星可以围绕地球做轨道运动，因此理论上地球上每一个角落都可以被卫星通信覆盖。其次，卫星通信具有较大的社会价值。卫星通信在边远山区、贫穷落后的国家或地区都可以以较低的成本覆盖到，从而使这些地区的人们享受到先进的语音通信和移动互联网技术，有利于缩小与发达地区的数字鸿沟，促进这些地区的发展。再次，卫星通信距离远，且通信距离增大通讯的成本没有明显增加。最后，卫星通信的稳定性高，不受自然灾害的限制。
按照轨道高度的不同，通信卫星可以分为低地球轨道(Low-Earth Orbit，LEO)卫星、中地球轨道(Medium-Earth Orbit，MEO)卫星、地球同步轨道(Geostationary Earth Orbit，GEO)卫星、高椭圆轨道(High Elliptical Orbit，HEO)卫星等。
例如，LEO卫星的高度范围为500km～1500km，相应轨道周期约为1.5小时～2小时。用户间单跳通信的信号传播延迟一般小于20ms。最大卫星可视时间为20分钟。信号传播距离短，链路损耗少，对用户终端的发射功率要求不高。
又例如，GEO卫星的轨道高度为35786km，围绕地球旋转周期为24小时。用户间单跳通信的信号传播延迟一般为250ms。
为了保证卫星的覆盖以及提升整个卫星通信系统的系统容量，卫星采用多波束覆盖地面，一颗卫星可以形成几十甚至数百个波束来覆盖地面；一个卫星波束可以覆盖直径几十至上百公里的地面区域。
二、NR测量
测量主要是指连接状态下的移动性测量。网络设备给终端设备下发测量配置后，终端设备可以根据测量配置中指示的测量对象、上报配置等参数测量邻小区的信号质量状态，并将测量上报信息反馈给网络设备，用于网络设备指示终端设备进行小区切换或者完善邻小区关系列表。
1、测量配置
NR中，网络设备可以通过无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control，RRC)信令(如RRC连接重配消息)向连接态的终端设备发送测量配置信息，终端设备可以根据接收到的测量配置信息进行小区测量，如进行同频测量、异频测量或异系统测量。之后，终端设备可以将测量结果上报给网络设备。测量配置信息可以包括如下内容：
(a)测量对象(Measurement Object)
对于同频测量和异频测量，每个测量对象指示要测量的时频位置和参考信号的子载波间隔。与该测量对象相关的小区，网络设备可能配置小区偏移量(Offset)列表，黑名单小区列表和白名单小区列表。
对于异系统测量，每个测量对象可以对应一个单独的演进的通用移动通信系统陆地无线接入E-UTRA(Evolved-Universal Mobile Telecommunications System Terrestrial Radio Access，E-UTRA)频点，与该E-UTRA频点相关的小区，网络可能配置小区偏移量列表，黑名单小区列表和白名单小区列表。
其中，终端设备在事件评估及测量报告中不对黑名单小区列表中的小区进行任何操作，对白名单小区列表中的小区进行事件评估及测量报告。
对于每个测量频点，网络设备可以配置一个同步块测量定时配置(SS/PBCH Block Measurement Timing Configuration，SMTC)，用于指示终端设备在该频点对应的邻小区上接收同步信号块(Synchronization Signal Block，SSB)的时间，SMTC配置可以包括SMTC的周期，SMTC在一个周期内的起始时间偏移，SMTC的持续时间等等。
可以看到，SMTC是基于频点配置的。基于目前标准，SMTC的持续时间可配置的最大值为5ms。
(b)上报配置(Reporting Configuration)
每个测量对象可以对应一个或者多个上报配置。上报配置可以包括：
上报准则：即终端设备进行测量上报的触发条件，可以是周期触发上报或者事件触发上报；
参考信号(Reference Signal，RS)类型：终端设备用于波束和小区测量的RS，可以是SSB或信道状态信息参考信号(Channel State Information Reference Signal，CSI-RS)。
上报格式：终端设备针对每个小区和每个波束的测量上报量，如参考信号接收功率(Reference Signal Received Power，RSRP)，还可以包括其他相关信息，如终端设备上报的最大小区个数和针对每个小区上报的最大波束个数。
目前，NR中支持的测量事件可以包括以下几种：
A1事件：服务小区的信号质量高于一个门限；
A2事件：服务小区的信号质量低于一个门限；
A3事件：邻小区的信号质量比特殊小区(Special Cell，SpCell)服务小区的信号质量高于一个门限；
A4事件：邻小区的信号质量高于一个门限；
A5事件：SpCell的信号质量低于一个门限1，并且邻小区的信号质量高于一个门限2；
A6事件：邻小区的信号质量比辅小区(Secondary Cell，SCell)的信号质量高于一个门限；
B1事件：异制式邻小区的信号质量高于一个门限；
B2事件：主小区(Primary Cell，PCell)的信号质量低于一个门限1，并且异制式邻小区的信号质量高于一个门限2。
(c)测量标识(Measurement Identity)
单独的ID，可以将测量对象和上报配置进行关联。一个测量对象可以同时与多个上报配置进行关联，一个上报配置也可以同时与多个测量对象进行关联，通过测量标识进行区分。
(d)测量间隔(Measurement Gap)
用于指示终端设备执行异频或异系统测量的时间。终端设备在测量gap期间执行异频或异系统测量。测量gap配置可以包括测量gap的周期(Measurement Gap Repetition Period，MGRP)、测量gap在一个周期内的起始时间(gap offset)、测量gap的长度(Measurement Gap Length，MGL)等。假设MGL的长度为6ms，表示在这6ms内终端设备需要进行异频测量。如果MGRP取值为40ms，则表示每40ms出现一次测量gap。
目前，测量gap是基于终端设备配置的，即测量gap是以终端设备为粒度的配置。基于目前标准，测量gap的长度可以配置的最大值为6ms。
表1示出了一种测量gap的配置的情况。

2、测量上报
终端设备可以根据网络设备发送的测量配置进行测量，当满足一定触发条件时终端设备可以进行测量上报的评估。如果满足上报条件，终端设备将进行测量报告的填写，并包含在测量报告中发送给网络设备。
其中，测量上报可以分为三类：
1)事件触发上报
仅当满足了网络设备配置的测量事件进行门限并持续一段时间后，才会触发终端设备进行测量报告的发送。测量报告发送一次后流程结束。此准则对应的上报配置为：
触发类型为事件A1-事件A6、事件B1-事件B2中的一种事件以及门限参数；
上报册数为1；
上报间隔无论配为何值，终端设备均可以忽略。
2)周期性上报
网络设备配置了测量配置后，终端设备按照配置内容进行相应频点的此类昂，并按照规定的上报周期及上报间隔发送测量报告。此准则对应的上报配置为：
触发周期为“周期”，包含“reportCGI”、“reportStrongestCell”；
如果上报目的为“reportCGI”，上报次数等于1；如果上报目的为reportStrongestCell”，上报次数可以大于1；
终端设备一旦被配置了“reportCGI”目的上报后将开启T321定时器。为了让网络设备可以尽快获得组件邻小区列表的所需信息，如果终端设备在定时器超时前已经获得了上报所需的内容，则终端设备可以停止T321并提前发起上报。
3)事件触发周期上报
终端设备仅当满足了网络设备配置的测量事件进入门限并持续一段时间后，才会触发测量报告的发送。上报被触发后，可以开启多次测量之间的定时器以及测量次数的计数器，直至上报次数达到要求后流程结束。此准则对应的上报配置为：
触发类型为事件A1-事件A5中的一种测量事件以及门限参数；
上报次数大于1；
上报间隔有效，网络设备按照配置的上报间隔参数设备上报周期定时器。
本申请实施例提出了一种小区测量的方法，可以保证小区测量的有效执行。

应理解，本申请实施例可以应用于NTN中。当然，本申请实施例还可以应用于除NTN之外的通信场景中。如地面蜂窝网通信、车联网通信等。

在220中，终端设备基于SMTC的目标起始时间和/或测量gap的目标起始时间，对小区列表中的至少一个小区进行测量。
应理解，本文中术语“和/或”，仅仅是一种描述关联对象的关联关系，表示可以存在三种关系，例如，A和/或B，可以表示：单独存在A，同时存在A和B，单独存在B这三种情况。另外，本文中字符“/”，一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。
还应理解，本申请实施例对起始时间的名称并不限定，也就是说，起始时间也可以表述为其他名称。例如，起始时间也可以表述为时间偏移。

终端设备获取针对小区列表的SMTC的目标起始时间和/或测量gap的目标起始时间的方式有两种，下面分别进行介绍。
方式1
终端设备可以基于网络设备的指示确定SMTC的目标起始时间和/或测量gap的目标起始时间。
具体而言，终端设备可以接收网络设备发送的RRC配置测量信息，可选地，该RRC配置测量信息可以包括小区列表，以及包括SMTC的目标起始时间和/或测量gap的目标起始时间。
可选地，该RRC配置测量信息可以包括小区列表，以及包括SMTC的目标时间和/或测量gap的目标时间。此时，RRC配置测量测量信息不仅可以包括SMTC的目标起始时间和/或测量gap的目标起始时间，还可以包括SMTC的目标结束时间和/或测量gap的目标结束时间。
可选地，该RRC配置测量信息可以包括小区列表，以及包括SMTC的目标时间和/或测量gap的目标时间。此时，RRC配置测量测量信息不仅可以包括SMTC的目标起始时间和/或测量gap的目标起始时间，还可以包括SMTC的目标长度和/或测量gap的目标长度。
可选的，小区列表中可以仅包含一个小区的标识，也可以包含多个小区的标识。即RRC配置测量信息可以是针对一个小区的，也可以是针对一个小区列表的。
RRC配置测量信息可以通过图样或者比特位图的方式向终端设备指示SMTC的目标起始时间和/或测量gap的目标起始时间。或者，RRC配置测量信息可以通过图样或者比特位图的方式向终端设备指示SMTC的目标时间和/或测量gap的目标时间。例如，网络设备配置的SMTC的目标起始时间可以是SMTC pattern或者SMTC location bitmap；网络设备配置的测量gap的目标起始时间可以是测量gap pattern或者测量gap location bitmap。
可选地，网络设备可以根据卫星星历信息和终端设备的位置，确定终端设备在小区列表中的各个邻小区对应的SMTC pattern和/或测量gap pattern。其中，卫星星历信息可以为卫星的运动轨迹。
可选地，RRC配置测量信息还可以包括小区测量的相关参数。具体地，RRC配置测量信息可以包 括：
(a)至少一个测量对象，至少一个测量对象中的每个测量对象可以为一个同频的载波频点，或异频的载波频点，或异制式的载波频点；
(b)对于每个测量对象，网络设备配置的与该载波频率相关的黑名单小区列表和白名单小区列表。
终端设备接收到网络设备发送的RRC配置测量信息后，可以确定SMTC的目标起始时间和/或测量gap的目标起始时间，或者，终端设备可以确定SMTC的目标时间和/或测量gap的目标时间。
其中，网络设备可以是服务小区基站或者操作维护管理(Operation Administration and Maintenance，OAM)系统，也可以是卫星。
在网络设备向终端设备发送RRC配置测量信息之前，网络设备可以确定SMTC的目标起始时间和/或测量gap的目标起始时间，或者，确定SMTC的目标时间和/或测量gap的目标时间。下面，以网络设备确定SMTC的目标起始时间和/或测量gap的目标起始时间为例进行说明。
对于传统的陆地蜂窝系统，小区的覆盖半径较小，终端设备与服务小区基站之间的信号传输时延和终端设备与邻小区基站之间的信号传输时延很小，因此，网络设备可以将SMTC的起始时间偏移设置为0，比如，网络设备在第1ms发送SSB，SMTC的起始时间也为第1ms，而通过配置SMTC的持续时间以补偿终端设备到不同小区基站之间的信号传输时延的差异，从而可以保证终端设备在SMTC的持续时间内接收到不同小区的SSB。类似地，网络设备可以将测量gap的起始时间偏移设置为0，而通过配置测量gap的长度保证终端设备在所有异频或异制式频点上的测量都在测量gap期间。
与传统NR采用的蜂窝网络相比，NTN中终端设备与卫星之间的信号传输时延大幅增加。此外，由于卫星的覆盖范围很大，终端设备与不同卫星之间的信号传输时延也存在较大差异。如果在NTN系统中完全沿用目前陆地NR系统的测量配置方案，而不弥补终端设备与不同小区基站之间较大的信号传输时延，将造成无法找到合适的切换小区或提供合理的邻区关系信息的问题，最终可能使得终端设备切换不到合适的小区，造成终端设备性能变差甚至掉网的问题。
鉴于此，网络设备可以根据终端设备与邻小区基站之间的信号传输时延和终端设备与服务小区基站之间的信号传输时延的差值，确定终端设备对小区列表中的至少一个小区进行测量的SMTC的目标起始时间和/或测量gap的目标起始时间。
为了描述方便，以下将以小区列表中的第一小区为例进行说明，但本申请并不限于此。
网络设备可以根据第一差值，确定终端设备对第一小区进行测量的SMTC的目标起始时间和/或测量gap的目标起始时间。其中，小区列表中包括第一小区，第一差值为终端设备与第一小区基站之间的信号传输时延和终端设备与服务小区基站之间的信号传输时延的差值。
如此，终端设备可以在合适的时间点启动小区测量并接收邻小区参考信号，保证了小区测量的有效执行。
在一种实现方式中，网络设备可以根据第一差值和测量gap的基本起始时间，确定终端设备对第一小区进行测量的测量gap的目标起始时间；和/或，网络设备可以根据SMTC的基本起始时间和第一差值，确定终端设备对第一小区进行测量的SMTC的目标起始时间。
示例性地，测量gap的目标起始时间＝测量gap的基本起始时间*(1+第一差值/终端设备与服务小区基站之间的信号传输时延。
再示例性地，测量gap的目标起始时间＝测量gap的基本起始时间*(1-第一差值/终端设备与服务小区基站之间的信号传输时延。
与测量gap的目标起始时间类似，示例性地，SMTC的目标起始时间＝SMTC的基本起始时间*(1+第一差值/终端设备与服务小区基站之间的信号传输时延。
再示例性地，SMTC的目标起始时间＝SMTC的基本起始时间*(1-第一差值/终端设备与服务小区基站之间的信号传输时延。
在另一种实现方式中，网络设备可以根据第一差值，确定偏移量，然后根据测量gap的基本起始时间和偏移量，确定终端设备对第一小区进行测量的测量gap的目标起始时间；和/或，网络设备可以根据SMTC的基本起始时间和偏移量，确定终端设备对第一小区进行测量的SMTC的目标起始时间。
示例性地，测量gap的目标起始时间＝测量gap的基本起始时间+偏移量。
再示例性地，测量gap的目标起始时间＝测量gap的基本起始时间-偏移量。
再示例性地，测量gap的目标起始时间＝测量gap的基本起始时间+偏移量*常数。
再示例性地，测量gap的目标起始时间＝测量gap的基本起始时间-偏移量*常数。
与测量gap的目标起始时间类似，示例性地，SMTC的目标起始时间＝SMTC的基本起始时间+偏移量。
再示例性地，SMTC的目标起始时间＝SMTC的基本起始时间-偏移量。
再示例性地，SMTC的目标起始时间＝SMTC的基本起始时间+偏移量*常数。
再示例性地，SMTC的目标起始时间＝SMTC的基本起始时间-偏移量*常数。
应理解，对于SMTC和测量gap来说，分别确定的偏移量的取值，可以相同，也可以不同，本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。
可选地，SMTC的基本起始时间和测量gap的基本起始时间可以为网络设备发送参考信号的时间。比如，网络设备在第1ms发送SSB，则测量gap的基本起始时间为第1ms。
可选地，SMTC的基本起始时间和测量gap的基本起始时间可以为网络设备和终端设备提前协商好的。
可选地，SMTC的基本起始时间和测量gap的基本起始时间可以为网络设备配置的，然后网络设备可以通过RRC信令将SMTC的基本起始时间和测量gap的基本起始时间发送给终端设备。
网络设备根据第一差值确定偏移量，可以包括：网络设备根据差值集合，确定第二差值，再根据差值与偏移量之间的函数关系，以及根据第二差值，确定偏移量。其中，差值集合包括第一时延与第二时延之间的差值，第一时延为终端设备与小区集合中的每个邻小区基站之间的至少一个信号传输时延，第二时延为终端设备与服务小区基站之间的信号传输时延，小区集合属于小区列表，小区集合包括第一小区。
作为一种示例，第二差值可以为差值集合中的所有差值的平均值。
作为另一种示例，第二差值可以为差值集合中的最大值和最小值的平均值。
作为另一种示例，第二差值可以为差值集合中随机选择的一个值。
作为另一种示例，第二差值可以为差值集合中的最大值。
作为另一种示例，第二差值可以为差值集合中的最小值。第二差值为差值集合中的最小值，如此，测量gap窗口和/或SMTC窗口可以覆盖小区集合内所有可能的邻小区RRC配置测量信息的发送时间。
作为一种示例，差值与偏移量之间的函数关系可以为：差值等于偏移量。在该情况下，偏移量＝第二差值。
作为另一种示例，差值与偏移量之间的函数关系可以为：偏移量＝2*差值。在该情况下，偏移量＝2*第二差值。
作为另一种示例，差值与偏移量之间的函数关系可以为：偏移量＝基本值*差值/终端设备与服务小区基站之间的信号传输时延。
可选地，差值与偏移量之间的函数关系可以是协议固定预设在网络设备上的。
方式2
终端设备自己确定SMTC的目标起始时间和/或测量gap的目标起始时间。具体而言，终端设备可以确定小区列表，并基于确定的小区列表，确定SMTC的目标起始时间和/或测量gap的目标起始时间。或者，终端设备可以基于确定的小区列表，确定SMTC的目标时间和/或测量gap的目标时间。
在一种实现方式中，终端设备可以根据第一差值，确定对第一小区进行测量的SMTC的目标起始时间和/或测量gap的目标起始时间。
其中，第一差值可以是终端设备自己确定的，或者，也可以是网络设备指示给终端设备的，例如，网络设备可以通过RRC配置测量信息向终端设备指示第一差值。
可选地，终端设备可以根据第一差值和测量gap的基本起始时间，确定终端设备对第一小区进行测量的测量gap的目标起始时间；和/或，网络设备可以根据SMTC的基本起始时间和第一差值，确定终端设备对第一小区进行测量的SMTC的目标起始时间。
示例性地，测量gap的目标起始时间＝测量gap的基本起始时间*(1+第一差值/终端设备与服务小区基站之间的信号传输时延。
再示例性地，测量gap的目标起始时间＝测量gap的基本起始时间*(1-第一差值/终端设备与服务小区基站之间的信号传输时延。
与测量gap的目标起始时间类似，示例性地，SMTC的目标起始时间＝SMTC的基本起始时间*(1+第一差值/终端设备与服务小区基站之间的信号传输时延。
再示例性地，SMTC的目标起始时间＝SMTC的基本起始时间*(1-第一差值/终端设备与服务小区基站之间的信号传输时延。
在另一种实现方式中，终端设备可以根据偏移量确定对第一小区进行测量的SMTC的目标起始时间和/或测量gap的目标起始时间。
在终端设备根据偏移量确定SMTC的目标起始时间和/或测量gap的目标起始时间之前，终端设备 可以接收网络设备发送的第一信息，该第一信息用于指示终端设备基于偏移量确定SMTC的目标起始时间和/或测量gap的目标起始时间。在终端设备接收到第一信息后，终端设备可以确定需要基于偏移量确定SMTC的目标起始时间和/或测量gap的目标起始时间。
可选地，方法200还可以包括：网络设备向终端设备发送第二信息，该第二信息用于指示终端设备需要确定以下取值中的至少一个：第一差值、第二差值和偏移量。
在终端设备接收到第二信息后，在一种实现方式中，终端设备可以确定偏移量，然后根据测量gap的基本起始时间和偏移量，确定对第一小区进行测量的测量gap的目标起始时间；和/或，终端设备可以根据SMTC的基本起始时间和偏移量，确定对第一小区进行测量的SMTC的目标起始时间。
可选地，终端设备可以根据第一差值，确定偏移量。具体而言，终端设备可以根据差值集合，确定第二差值，再根据差值与偏移量之间的函数关系，以及根据第二差值，确定偏移量。
