Apparatus and method for communication in non-terrestrial networks are provided. Downlink transmissions are received (400) from one or more non-terrestrial nodes. Signal strengths and/or signal quality of the transmissions are measured (402) from the one or more non-terrestrial nodes. Transitions between line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight states regarding the one or more non-terrestrial nodes are determined (404). Locations of the one or more non-terrestrial nodes and the apparatus are determined (406) and elevation and azimuth angles to the one or more non-terrestrial nodes from the apparatus are calculated (408). A database of the line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight states is generated (410) as a function of elevation and azimuth angles and apparatus location and utilised (412) to determine expected line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight states for non-terrestrial nodes.

This application provides communication methods and communication apparatuses. One example communication method includes: An receiving, by an access stratum of a terminal device, receives a quality of experience QoE measurement result and first indication information from an upper layer of the access stratum. The access stratum of the terminal device determines, based on the first indication information, to send the QoE measurement result to a master node or a secondary node of the terminal device. Therefore, in this application, the upper layer of the access stratum of the terminal device sends, to the access stratum, the QoE measurement result and the first indication information corresponding to the Qof measurement result, so that the terminal device in the MR DC architecture can send the QoE measurement result to the correct access network device.
