Since t2 is much longer than t1, the time required for the terminal device to determine RLF is longer.

Abstract

La présente demande concerne un procédé et un appareil de communication, destinés à être utilisés pour résoudre le problème selon lequel, dans un système de communication de réseau non terrestre (NTN), un dispositif terminal présente un retard de communication plus long et gaspille plus de puissance puisque le temps nécessaire pour que le dispositif terminal effectue une détermination de défaillance de liaison radio (RLF), augmente fortement. Le procédé comprend les étapes suivantes : un dispositif terminal obtient une durée de couverture restante d'une cellule de desserte couvrant une première zone géographique, le dispositif terminal étant situé dans la première zone géographique ; et lorsque la durée de couverture restante est inférieure à un premier seuil de temps, le dispositif terminal détermine qu'une défaillance RLF se produit. Dans des modes de réalisation de la présente demande, le dispositif terminal détermine, au moyen de la durée de couverture restante de la cellule de desserte, si la défaillance RLF se produit de telle sorte qu'un rétablissement de la commande de ressources radio (RRC) puisse être déclenché à temps lorsqu'un signal de couverture est faible ou disparaît, ce qui permet d'améliorer la qualité de communication du dispositif terminal et de réduire le retard de communication.
