Wherein the reference signal comprises at least one of a tracking reference signal, TRS, and a channel state information reference signal, CSI-RS.
The first base station is a base station for determining configuration information of the reference signal used by the terminal device in the non-connected state based on the first information, that is, the terminal device receives the reference signal sent by the first base station based on the configuration information of the first base station, so as to synchronize with the SSB using the reference signal in the non-connected state.
Wherein the non-connected state includes a non-connected state and an inactive state.
In some possible embodiments, the first information comprises at least one of the following information:

The indication of whether the terminal device desires to use the reference signal in the non-connection mode may indicate whether the user corresponding to the terminal device desires to use the reference signal in the non-connection mode, that is, the preference of the user corresponding to the terminal device. Alternatively, it may mean that the terminal device determines whether the terminal device needs to use the reference signal in the non-connected state based on a communication environment, a related setting, and the like.
Optionally, the capability information of the terminal device includes at least one of the following:
information for indicating whether the terminal device supports the use of a reference signal for secondary synchronization in a non-connected state;
an offset between the transmission time and the paging time of the reference signal.
Whether the terminal device supports the reference signal in the unconnected state or not can indicate whether the terminal device has the capability of using the reference signal in the unconnected state or not.
Wherein, the offset between the transmission time and the paging time of the reference signal may be at least one of:
an offset between a transmission time and a paging time of a reference signal supported by a terminal device corresponding to a Discontinuous Reception (DRX) scenario;
offset between the transmission time and paging time of a reference signal supported by a terminal device corresponding to an Extended Discontinuous Reception (e-DRX) scenario.
Wherein the e-DRX comprises at least one of a Long discontinuous reception Long DRX type and a Short discontinuous reception Short DRX type.
I.e., the offset between the transmission time and the paging time of the reference signal supported by the terminal device corresponding to Extended Discontinuous Reception (e-DRX), includes at least one of:
an offset between a transmission time and a paging time corresponding to a reference signal supported by a Long discontinuous reception (Long DRX) type terminal device;
an offset between the transmission time and paging time corresponding to a reference signal supported by a terminal device of Short discontinuous reception (SHORT DRX) type.
The offset between the transmission Time and the Paging Time of the reference signal supported by the terminal device corresponding to the e-DRX scenario may be used to indicate gap of eDRX in the eDRX scenario, that is, the first Paging Time (PO) within a Paging Time Window (PTW). It may also be used to indicate gap of DRX in eDRX scenarios, i.e. other POs within the PTW.
The offset may be a minimum offset between the transmission time and the paging time of the reference signal supported by the terminal device corresponding to each DRX scenario, or may be an offset expected by the terminal device, and may be specifically determined based on an actual terminal device requirement, which is not limited herein. For example, the offset may be a minimum offset between a sending time and a paging time of a reference signal supported by the terminal device corresponding to each DRX scenario, and the terminal device may wake up at a time closest to the paging time when the non-connected state is compared with the case of not using the reference signal, receive the reference signal, and perform SSB synchronization using the reference signal, so as to save power consumption of the terminal.

The explicit information may be indicated by one or more bits in the first information sent by the terminal device, and the implicit information may be information carried in the first information and capable of directly determining the related information item included in the first information.
For example, the information indicating whether the terminal device supports the use of the reference signal in the unconnected state for the secondary synchronization may be information that can directly determine whether the terminal device supports the use of the reference signal in the unconnected state for the secondary synchronization, such as information that is included in the first information sent by the terminal device and that can indirectly determine whether the terminal device supports the use of the reference signal in the unconnected state for the secondary synchronization.
For example, the information indicating whether the terminal device supports the use of the reference signal in the unconnected state for secondary synchronization may be identification information, such as a bit in the first information, for explicitly indicating whether the terminal device supports the use of the reference signal in the unconnected state for secondary synchronization. Alternatively, the information indicating whether the terminal device supports the use of the reference signal in the non-connected state for assisting synchronization may be related configuration information, device usage information, or the like, for implicitly indicating whether the terminal device supports the use of the reference signal in the non-connected state for assisting synchronization. The offset between the transmission time and the paging time of the reference signal as described above can also be used as information indicating whether the terminal device supports the use of the reference signal in the non-connected state for assisting synchronization, to implicitly indicate whether the terminal device supports the use of the reference signal in the non-connected state for assisting synchronization.
For the second indication information, the second indication information may be an indication identifier for indicating whether the terminal device uses the coverage enhancement technology in the connected state, that is, explicit information.

Before releasing the context information of the terminal device, the core network device may laterally reflect the signal quality of the terminal device based on the number of times of repetition of transmitting data based on the control channel and/or transmitting service data based on the service channel. The higher the number of repetitions, the worse the signal quality of the terminal device, and further indicates that the terminal device uses coverage enhancement techniques in the connected state.
Optionally, the device type of the terminal device may also indicate the device type of the terminal device through explicit information, or may also indicate the device type of the terminal device through implicit information, such as measurement information of the terminal. The device type of the terminal device may indicate communication capability, signal quality, and the like of the terminal device, and the first base station is configured to determine, based on the device type of the terminal device, configuration information of a reference signal used by the terminal device in a non-connected state.
In some possible embodiments, the terminal device may receive configuration information of a reference signal transmitted by the first base station, to receive the reference signal based on the configuration information of the reference signal, and further perform SSB synchronization using the reference signal in a non-connected state.
