在本申请实施例中，终端设备和网络设备均可以部署在陆地上，包括室内或室外、手持、穿戴或车载；也可以部署在水面上(如轮船等)；还可以部署在空中(例如无人机、飞机、气球和卫星上等)。
网络设备和终端设备之间以及终端设备和终端设备之间可以通过授权频谱(licensed spectrum)进行通信，也可以通过免授权频谱(unlicensed spectrum)进行通信，也可以同时通过授权频谱和免授权频谱进行通信。网络设备和终端设备之间以及终端设备和终端设备之间可以通过6千兆赫(gigahertz，GHz)以下的频谱进行通信，也可以通过6GHz及6GHz以上的频谱进行通信，还可以同时使用6GHz以下的频谱和6GHz及以上的频谱进行通信。本申请的实施例对网络设备和终端设备之间所使用的频谱资源不做限定。
在NR系统中，终端可以在载波上检测邻小区的同步信号块(synchronization signal block，SSB)，以测量邻小区和本小区的SSB的信号质量，进而可以上报测量结果，辅助网络设备(例如基站)进行移动性相关决策。在该过程中，网络设备可以基于波束赋形技术实现SSB波束的扫描以完成SSB发送，其中，波束赋形(Beamforming)又叫波束成型、空域滤波，是一种使用传感器阵列定向发送和接收信号的信号处理技术，对每类信道和信号都会形成能量更集中，方向性更强的窄波束。NR小区同步和广播信道共用一个SSB波束，也称为广播波束。终端设备可以在网络设备配置的SMTC窗口内检测SSB。NR地面网络协议要求小区在5ms内完成SSB波束的扫描，也即SSB的发送周期为小于或等于5ms，相应的，终端设备在窗口持续时间小于或等于5ms的SMTC窗口测量SSB。
然而，在一些通信系统中，发送端扫描的SSB波束的数量较多，导致SSB的发送周期较大。例如在卫星通信系统中，由于单星覆盖面积大，通过增多SSB波束的数量才能实现连续的随机接入覆盖，以NTN网络512SSB波束的一种部署为例，结合图1a所示，在每20ms的时域资源中的前4个时隙(slot)部署8个SSB，则完成SSB波束的扫描需要640ms，SSB发送时机和物理随机接入时机(physical random access occasion，RO)参见图1b所示。此种情况下，将SMTC窗口的窗口持续时间限制在5ms之内无法测量邻小区所有的SSB，为了能测量所有的SSB增加SMTC窗口的窗口持续时间则使得测量间隙(gap)无法被调用，占用了通信系统的数据传输资源，对本小区的业务带来较大影响。因此，目前如何通过SMTC窗口对邻小区的SSB进行准确测量，是亟待解决的问题。
针对上述问题，本申请实施例在同一测量周期内配置多个SMTC窗口对SSB进行测量，相比于仅基于一个SMTC窗口测量这一个邻小区的多个SSB，提高了测量的准确性。

第二，本申请实施例中涉及的“协议”可以是指通信领域的标准协议，例如可以包括LTE协议、NR协议以及应用于未来的通信系统中的相关协议，本申请对此不做限定。
下面将结合附图对本申请实施例提供的通信方法进行说明。
应理解，下文仅为便于理解和说明，主要以终端设备和网络设备之间的交互为例对本申请实施例所提供的方法进行说明。该终端设备例如可以是图2所示的卫星通信系统中的终端，网络设备可以是图2所示的通信系统中的卫星。

图3为本申请实施例提供的基于SMTC窗口的信号测量方法100的示意性交互流程图。如图3所示，该方法100可以包括S110至S130中的部分或者全部过程。下面对方法100中的各个步骤进行说明。
S110，网络设备确定至少一个邻小区中第j个邻小区的M个SMTC窗口中各SMTC窗口的时域起始位置和窗口持续时间(duration)，该M个SMTC窗口中第i个SMTC窗口的窗口持续时间用于第j个邻小区的SSB的测量，M为大于1的整数，i为大于或等于1，且小于或等于M的整数，j为大于或等于1的整数。
S120，网络设备向终端设备发送配置信息，该配置信息至少用于配置M个SMTC窗口中各SMTC窗口的时域起始位置和窗口持续时间。相应的，终端设备接收网络设备发送的配置信息。
S130，终端设备测量该M个SMTC窗口下该第j个邻小区的多个SSB。
本申请实施例中，M个SMTC窗口中各SMTC窗口的时域起始位置可以均不相同。举例而言，参见图4，第1个SMTC窗口(SMTC窗口#0)的时域起始位置为时隙#0，第2个SMTC窗口(SMTC窗口#1)的时域起始位置为时隙#350。
时域起始位置可以是SSB测量周期内的时域偏移量。也即，该时域起始位置用于指示SMTC窗口在每个SSB测量周期内的起始位置。例如，第1个SMTC窗口在每个SSB测量周期的时域起始位置为每个SSB测量周期中的第一个时隙(时隙#0)，第2个SMTC窗口在每个SSB测量周期的时域起始位置为每个SSB测量周期中第351个时隙(时隙350#)。
上述M个SMTC窗口可以分别用于测量一个SSB测量周期内不同的SSB或者不同的SSB组。其中，一个SSB测量周期可以包括一个或者多个SSB的发送周期。例如SSB的发送周期为1280时隙(slot)，一个SSB测量周期为1280slot，也即终端设备在每个SSB的发送周期内均对邻小区的SSB进行测量，参见图4；又例如SSB的发送周期为640slot，一个SSB测量周期可以为1280slot，也即终端设备在每两个SSB的发送周期只测量一次邻小区的SSB。
可选的，一个SSB测量周期内可以包括上述M个SMTC窗口，还可以包括其他SMTC窗口，例如用于测量本小区的SMTC窗口，用于测量本小区的SMTC窗口可以由网络设备配置，或者协议定义，或者网络设备通过RRC和/或DCI指示的，本申请对此不作限定。
需要说明的是，本申请实施例仅以在SMTC窗口内对第j个邻小区的SSB测量为例进行说明，但并不对此进行限定。例如终端设备在SMTC窗口中可以对本小区的SSB进行测量，或者对更多的邻小区的SSB进行测量。
还应理解的是，M个SMTC窗口中各SMTC窗口的窗口持续时间可以相同也可以不同。一般来说，M个SMTC窗口中各SMTC窗口占用的时域位置均不重叠，以分别测量不同发送时机的SSB或者不同的SSB组。在一些实施例中，M个SMTC窗口中各SMTC窗口之间具有时域间隔，以使终端设备和网络设备之间可以在SMTC窗口之间的时域资源上进行通信，提高通信效率。当然，本申请也不排除各SMTC窗口的时域位置重叠或者相邻SMTC窗口之间不存在时域间隔的情况。
本申请实施例中，通过M个SMTC窗口测量的第j个邻小区的SSB可以是第j个邻小区的全部SSB，或者可以是第j个邻小区的部分SSB。例如，结合图5所示，通过M个SMTC窗口测量的第j个邻小区的SSB是终端设备所处的交叠覆盖区内所覆盖的SSB，换言之，终端设备处于该M个SMTC窗口所能检测的第j个邻小区的多个SSB覆盖的交叠覆盖区。M个SMTC窗口测量的第j个邻小区的SSB是交叠覆盖区内所覆盖的SSB时，减小了SMTC窗口的窗口持续时间和/或SMTC窗口的数量，进一步减小了对通信资源的占用。
在上述S110中，网络设备可以基于邻小区的多个SSB的发送时机确定M个SMTC窗口的时域起始位置和窗口持续时间，使终端设备可以通过M个SMTC窗口测量邻小区的多个SSB。需要说明的是，本申请实施例以网络设备基于第j个邻小区的SSB的发送时机确定M个SMTC窗口为例进行说明，当SMTC窗口用于测量多个邻小区的SSB时，网络设备可以根据多个邻小区的SSB的发送时机，确定M个SMTC窗口。如前所述，邻小区的多个SSB可以指邻小区的全部SSB或者终端设备所处的交叠覆盖区内邻小区所覆盖的SSB。
示例性的，网络设备可以根据第j个邻小区的多个SSB的发送时机，将该多个SSB划分为M个SSB组。该多个SSB中各SSB占用的时域资源可以是时隙或者时隙中的一个或多个符号，该时隙例如可以是NR时隙或LTE时隙等，本申请对此不做限定，例如，一个时隙中可以发送两个SSB。在每组SSB中，每两个相邻的SSB之间的时域间隔可以小于或等于预设时域间隔，不同SSB组之间(例如第i组中的最后一个SSB和第i+1组中第一个SSB之间)的时域间隔大于预设时域间隔，可选的，预设时域间隔例如可以是7个符号、1个时隙、15个时隙等。例如图4所示，由时隙#0开始2个子帧内发送的各SSB之间的时域间隔小于1个时隙，则组成第1个SSB组，第2个SSB组中第1个SSB(占用时隙#350中的部分或者全部符号)与第1个SSB组的最后一个SSB之间的时域间隔大于1个时隙，且由时隙#350开始2个子帧内发送的各SSB之间的时域间隔小于1个时隙，则由时隙#350开始2个子帧内发送的SSB组成第2个SSB组。
可选的，预设时域间隔可以是协议定义的，或者网络设备预配置的，或者网络设备通过RRC和/或DCI指示的，本申请对此不做限定。
接续上述示例，网络设备针对上述过程中确定的M个SSB组，需要确定与每个SSB组对应的SMTC窗口，以通过SMTC窗口对每个SSB组中的SSB进行测量，换言之，M个SSB组存在 一一对应的M个SMTC窗口。可选的，针对M个SSB组中的第i个SSB组，第i个SMTC窗口的时域起始位置应与该第i个SSB组中第1个SSB的发送时机相同，或者第i个SMTC窗口的时域起始位置早于该第i个SSB组中第1个SSB的发送时机；与之类似的，第i个SMTC窗口的时域截止位置与第i个SSB组中最后一个SSB的发送时机相同，或者第i个SMTC窗口的时域截止位置晚于该第i个SSB组中最后一个SSB的发送时机。基于此，网络设备可以根据M个SSB组中第i个SSB组的第一个SSB的发送时机，确定第i个SMTC窗口的时域起始位置，并根据第i个SSB组占用的时域长度确定第i个SMTC窗口的窗口持续时间。
基于上述示例，第i个SMTC窗口的窗口持续时间内第j个邻小区的最后一个SSB占用的时域资源与第i+1个SMTC窗口的窗口持续时间内第j个邻小区的第一个SSB占用的时域资源之间的时域间隔大于预设时域间隔，而该预设时域间隔大于或等于第i个SMTC窗口与第i+1个SMTC窗口之间的时域间隔，这里第i个SMTC窗口与第i+1个SMTC窗口之间的时域间隔是指第i个SMTC窗口的结束时域位置与第i+1个SMTC窗口的时域开始位置之间的时域间隔。
可选的，M个SMCT窗口的窗口持续时间可以为5ms，或者小于5ms。
第i个SMTC窗口的窗口持续时间内包括第j个邻小区的SSB的数量为mi个，mi为正整数，第j个邻小区的SSB中每两个相邻的SSB之间的时域间隔均小于或等于预设时域间隔。
结合图4所示，第1个SMTC窗口(SMTC窗口#0)的时域起始位置与第j个邻小区的第1个SSB组中第1个SSB(SSB#0)占用的时域资源相同，且第1个SMTC窗口(SMTC窗口#0)的窗口持续时间与第1个SSB组占用的时域资源的长度相同；第2个SMTC窗口(SMTC窗口#1)的时域起始位置与第j个邻小区的第2个SSB组中第1个SSB(SSB#0)占用的时域资源相同，且第2个SMTC窗口(SMTC窗口#1)的窗口持续时间与第2个SSB组占用的时域资源的长度相同。
接续上述示例，第1个SMTC窗口(SMTC窗口#0)的时域起始位置为时隙#0，窗口持续时间为2个子帧(sf2)；第2个SMTC窗口(SMTC窗口#1)的时域起始位置为时隙#350，窗口持续时间为sf2。网络设备向终端设备发送的配置信息可以包括：
periodicityAndOffset：slot1280:0//在SSB测量周期(1280slot)内偏移为0的位置为第1个SMTC窗口的时域起始位置
duration：sf2//第1个SMTC窗口的窗口持续时间为2个子帧
periodicityAndOffset：slot1280:350//在SSB测量周期(1280slot)内偏移为350slot的位置为第2个SMTC窗口的时域起始位置
duration：sf2//第2个SMTC窗口的窗口持续时间为2个子帧
上述SSB测量周期也可以表述为SMTC窗口的周期。M个SMTC窗口中各SMTC窗口的周期可以相同也可以不同，本申请对此不做限定，例如第1个SMTC窗口的周期可以与SSB的发送周期相同，第2个SMTC窗口的周期可以是SSB的发送周期的2倍。当各SMTC窗口的周期均相同时，可以降低测量以及调度的复杂度。
可选的，上述配置信息还可以用于配置M个SMTC窗口中各SMTC窗口的周期。
示例性的，本小区的网络设备可以接收第j个邻小区的网络设备发送的该第j个邻小区的多个SSB的发送时机。可选的，本小区的网络设备和第j个邻小区的网络设备之间可以通过Xn接口进行交互，以实现SSB发送时机的传输。
当然，本申请并不对本小区的网络设备和邻小区的网络设备之间的交互方式进行限定，例如本小区的网络设备和第j个邻小区的网络设备之间可以通过NG接口进行交互，以实现SSB发送时机的传输。
在网络设备基于多个邻小区确定SMTC窗口时，与上述示例类似，网络设备可以根据各邻小区的SSB的发送时机，将所有邻小区的SSB划分为M个SSB组，进而确定各SSB组对应的SMTC窗口，使得每个SMTC窗口能够用于测量对应的SSB组中的SSB，具体实现方式与前述示例类似，区别在于划分得到M个SSB组的多个SSB来自于多个邻小区。
本申请实施例中，SSB、SSB组、SMTC窗口、时隙等的标识或者索引均从0开始编号，例如，第1个SSB也即SSB#0，第2个SSB也即SSB#1。当然，本申请并不对此进行限定，例如任 一标识或者索引也可以从1开始编号。
可选的，配置信息可以承载于RRC信令。
可选的，UU接口的标准支持网络设备向终端设备发送配置信息，以配置M个SMTC窗口对第j个邻区的多个SSB进行测量。
本申请实施例中，配置信息配置M个SMTC窗口的过程可以实现于不同的通信场景中。
例如，在同频或异频小区重选频点的场景中，网络设备可以通过配置信息配置同频小区重选频点或异频小区重选频点，例如通过系统信息块(system information block，SIB)2(如intraFreqCellReselectionInfo)配置同频重选频点，通过SIB 4(如InterFreqCarrierFreqInfo)配置异频小区重选频点。
此种情况下，该配置信息为本小区内的公共信令，如网络设备通过公共消息广播同频或者异频频点下邻小区的多个SMTC窗口，当存在多个邻小区时，公共消息广播同频或者异频频点下每个邻小区的多个SMTC窗口，终端设备通过多个SMTC窗口对邻小区的SSB进行测量，避免在SSB波束数量较多的情况下无法基于现有的SMTC窗口完成SSB测量，确保同频和/或异频小区重选的有效进行。
又例如，在终端设备在本小区处于RRC连接态时，配置信息为本小区内该终端设备的专用信令，该专用信令可以用于配置对第j个邻小的测量频点，如通过MeasObjectNR字段，实现RRC连接态测量频点下发。本实施例通过向RRC连接态的终端设备下发各邻小区的多个SMTC窗口，使终端设备通过多个SMTC窗口测量邻小区的多个SSB，针对卫星系统SSB发送数量多、发送周期长、发送时机离散的情况，提高了终端设备测量的有效性。
再例如，在终端设备在本小区由RRC连接态进入RRC非激活态或空闲态时，配置信息为专用信令，该专用信令用于配置对第j个邻小区的重定向频点。该专用信令例如可以是RRC释放消息(如CarrierInfoNR)。本实施例通过RRC释放消息配置重定向频点下各邻小区的多个SMTC窗口，使终端设备通过多个SMTC窗口测量邻小区的多个SSB，针对卫星系统SSB发送数量多、发送周期长、发送时机离散的情况，提高了终端设备测量的有效性。
在上述S130中，终端设备可以测量M个SMTC窗口中各SMTC窗口下第j个邻小区的多个SSB，例如终端设备可以在第1个SMTC窗口测量第j个邻小区的网络设备发送的第1个SSB组，在第2个SMTC窗口测量第j个邻小区的网络设备发送的第2个SSB组……直至终端设备在第M个SMTC窗口测量第j个邻小区的网络设备发送的第M个SSB组后完成一个周期的SSB测量。可选的，终端设备可以根据各SMTC窗口的周期，周期性测量第j个邻小区的多个SSB，例如，针对第1个SMTC窗口，终端设备可以在第1个SMTC窗口于第2个SSB测量周期的时域位置，测量该第1个SMTC窗口内的SSB组(如第1个SSB组)。
终端设备可以仅对至少一个邻小区中的第j个邻小区的多个SSB进行测量，或者终端设备还可以对至少一个邻小区中除第j个邻小区之外的部分或者全部邻小区进行SSB测量。当终端设备对除第j个邻小区之外的部分或者全部邻小区进行SSB测量时，其实现方式可以参照对第j个邻小区的SSB测量过程，也即网络设备可以确定各邻小区对应的至少两个SMTC窗口各自的时域起始位置和窗口持续时间，进而向终端设备配置该至少两个SMTC窗口，以使终端设备测量至少两个SMTC窗口下对应的邻小区的多个SSB。
在一些实施例中，网络设备可以根据各邻小区(或者终端设备所处的交叠覆盖区)的SSB的发送数量，确定各邻小区的SMTC窗口的数量，对于SSB发送数量较少的邻小区(例如5ms内完成SSB波束的扫描)，网络设备可以对该邻小区配置一个SMTC窗口，对于SSB发送数量较多(例如5ms内无法完成SSB波束的扫描)的邻小区，网络设备可以对该小区配置两个或者两个以上的SMTC窗口。
在一些实施例中，终端设备测量第j个邻小区的多个SSB之后，可以向网络设备上报测量结果，上报的测量结果中还可以包括终端设备对本小区的SSB的测量结果，使网络设备可以基于终端设备上报的测量结果进行移动性相关决策。
因此，本申请实施例通过配置M个SMTC窗口中各SMTC窗口的时域起始位置和窗口持续时间，使终端设备可以通过M个SMTC窗口测量第j个邻小区的多个SSB，通过设计多个SMTC 窗口，可实现对同一邻小区多个SSB的测量，相比于仅基于一个SMTC窗口测量这一个邻小区的多个SSB，提高了测量的准确性。
