1. An electronic equipment, comprising processing circuitry configured to:
receive, from a network side equipment serving the electronic equipment, information related to a Timing Advance Group (TAG); and
enable or disable Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) processes between the electronic equipment and all cells in the TAG according to the information related to the TAG,
wherein the information related to the TAG comprises a Timing Advance Command (TAC) related to the TAG, and the processing circuitry is further configured to:
determine a value of a Timing Advance (TA) according to the TAC; and
perform a process for enabling or disabling the HARQ processes between the electronic equipment and all cells in the TAG according to the value of the TA,
wherein the process for enabling or disabling the HARQ processes between the electronic equipment and all cells in the TAG comprises:
when the value of the TA is greater than a predetermined threshold of the TA, disabling the HARQ processes between the electronic equipment and all cells in the TAG; and
when the value of the TA is not greater than the predetermined threshold of the TA, enabling the HARQ processes between the electronic equipment and all cells in the TAG.
