1. A terminal device, comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed with the at least one processor, cause the terminal device to at least:
receive a first parameter for the terminal device, wherein a first carrier is used with the terminal device;
perform a comparison between the first parameter and one or more thresholds, wherein the one or more thresholds are predefined and include a first threshold and a second threshold;
determine a second parameter for the terminal device based on the comparison, the second parameter indicating a time interval for the terminal device to search for one or more carriers with a priority higher than the first carrier, and
in case the first parameter is less than or equal to the first threshold, determine the second parameter as a maximum value of 60×Nlayers seconds and A×the first parameter seconds, wherein Nlayers is a total number of the one or more carriers, and A is a positive integer received from a network device, and
in case the first parameter is larger than the first threshold and less than or equal to the second threshold, determine the second parameter as a maximum value of 60×Nlayers seconds and A×the first parameter×Nlayers seconds.
