1. A method for a user equipment (UE), comprising:
performing, based on acquired information, in at least one of an idle mode and an inactive mode,
an intra-frequency neighbor cell measurement,
wherein the acquired information comprises at least one of:
a group of a periodicity of synchronization signal and physical broadcast channel block (SSB)-based measurement timing configuration (SMTC) and a periodicity of SMTC2-long periodicity (SMTC2-LP); and
a physical cell identifier (PCI) list of SMTC2-LP, and
wherein the performing of the intra-frequency neighbor cell measurement comprises:
determining whether the intra-frequency neighbor cell measurement is applicable for time line extension; and
in response to a determination that the intra-frequency neighbor cell measurement is applicable for the time line extension, utilizing a factor for the time line extension.
