1. A method for wireless communication, comprising:
performing, by a terminal device, cell reselection in a non-terrestrial network (NTN) cell based on first assistant information, wherein the first assistant information is associated with one or more of the following information:
a sub-zone in the NTN cell, wherein the sub-zone is related to a coverage angle of a network device corresponding to the NTN cell; or
a terrestrial network (TN) cell comprised in the sub-zone in the NTN cell, and wherein the terminal device is located in a first sub-zone of the NTN cell, and the cell reselection is performed in response to at least in part a first distance between the terminal device and a TN cell in the first sub-zone being less than a distance reselection threshold.
