The switching time capability comprises: the switching time that the terminal device (120) is switched from a first network to a second network, and/or the switching time that the terminal device (120) is switched from the second network to the first network. The network device (110) comprises a first network device and/or a second network device. Also disclosed are another data processing method, a terminal device, a network device and a storage medium.

A communication node receives a first message, the first message is used to determine a first criterion and a second criterion; determines that a first cell meets a target criterion, the target criterion is one of the first criterion or the second criterion; transmits a first signal on the first cell; the first criterion comprises at least one of time information or location information, and the first criterion comprises a measurement result for reference signal(s) of the first cell; the second criterion comprises a measurement result for reference signal(s) of the first cell, and the second criterion does not comprise time information and location information; whether the target criterion is the first criterion or the second criterion is related to whether a radio connection problem occurs at the first node. The present application shortens the interruption delay incurred by the radio connection problem in large delay networks.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a base station may configure a bandwidth part (BWP) switching configuration of a user equipment in connection with a dual active protocol stack (DAPS) handover based at least in part on a BWP switching rule; and perform the DAPS handover. Numerous other aspects are provided.
