Abstract

Example communication methods and apparatus are described. In one example method, a terminal receives a first information by using a serving beam, where the first information indicates a delay compensation parameter corresponding to a target beam. The target beam and the serving beam are different beams. The terminal determines, based on a full timing advance and the delay compensation parameter corresponding to the target beam, a differential timing advance corresponding to the target beam.

Claims (58)

1. A communication method, comprising:

receiving, by a terminal, first information by using a serving beam,

wherein the first information indicates a delay compensation parameter corresponding to a target beam, and

the serving beam and the target beam are different beams;

determining, by the terminal based on a full timing advance and the delay compensation parameter corresponding to the target beam,

a differential timing advance corresponding to the target beam; and

determining, by the terminal, the full timing advance based on location information of the terminal and location information of a target satellite,

wherein the target satellite corresponds to the target beam; or

determining, by the terminal, the full timing advance based on a delay compensation parameter corresponding to the serving beam and

a differential timing advance corresponding to the serving beam.

2. The communication method according to claim 1 , wherein the communication method further comprises:

receiving, by the terminal, the location information of the target satellite.

3. The communication method according to claim 1 , wherein the delay compensation parameter corresponding to the target beam comprises at least one of the following:

a delay compensation value of a service link of the target beam, wherein the delay compensation value of the service link of the target beam is determined by a network device of the target beam; or

a delay compensation value of a feeder link of the target beam, wherein the delay compensation value of the feeder link of the target beam is determined by the network device of the target beam.

4. The communication method according to claim 1 , wherein the first information is carried in one or more of the following signaling:

initial bandwidth part (BWP) signaling;

non-initial BWP signaling;

neighboring cell measurement configuration signaling; or

inter-cell handover signaling.

5. A communication apparatus, comprising:

at least one processor; and

one or more memories coupled to the at least one processor and storing program instructions for execution by the at least one processor to:

receive first information by using a serving beam,

wherein the first information indicates a delay compensation parameter corresponding to a target beam, and the serving beam and the target beam are different beams;

determine, based on a full timing advance and the delay compensation parameter corresponding to the target beam,

a differential timing advance corresponding to the target beam; and

determine the full timing advance based on location information of a terminal and location information of a target satellite, wherein the target satellite corresponds to the target beam; or

determine the full timing advance based on a delay compensation parameter corresponding to the serving beam and

a differential timing advance corresponding to the serving beam.

6. The communication apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the one or more memories store the program instructions for execution by the at least one processor to:

receive the location information of the target satellite.

7. The communication apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the delay compensation parameter corresponding to the target beam comprises at least one of the following:

a delay compensation value of a service link of the target beam, wherein the delay compensation value of the service link of the target beam is determined by a network device of the target beam; or

a delay compensation value of a feeder link of the target beam, wherein the delay compensation value of the feeder link of the target beam is determined by the network device of the target beam.

8. The communication apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the first information is carried in one or more of the following signaling:

initial bandwidth part (BWP) signaling;

non-initial BWP signaling;

neighboring cell measurement configuration signaling; or

inter-cell handover signaling.

9. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium, wherein the non-transitory computer readable storage medium stores program instructions for execution by at least one processor to:

receive first information by using a serving beam, wherein the first information indicates a delay compensation parameter corresponding to a target beam, and

the serving beam and the target beam are different beams;

determine based on a full timing advance and the delay compensation parameter corresponding to the target beam and a full timing advance,

a differential timing advance corresponding to the target beam; and

determine the full timing advance based on location information of a terminal and location information of a target satellite, wherein the target satellite corresponds to the target beam; or

determine the full timing advance based on a delay compensation parameter corresponding to the serving beam and

a differential timing advance corresponding to the serving beam.

10. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium according to claim 9 , wherein the non-transitory computer readable storage medium stores the program instructions for execution by the at least one processor to:

receive the location information of the target satellite.

11. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium according to claim 9 , wherein the delay compensation parameter corresponding to the target beam comprises at least one of the following:

a delay compensation value of a service link of the target beam, wherein the delay compensation value of the service link of the target beam is determined by a network device of the target beam; or

a delay compensation value of a feeder link of the target beam, wherein the delay compensation value of the feeder link of the target beam is determined by the network device of the target beam.

12. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium according to claim 9 , wherein the first information is carried in one or more of the following signaling:

initial bandwidth part (BWP) signaling;

non-initial BWP signaling;

neighboring cell measurement configuration signaling; or

inter-cell handover signaling.
