1. A wireless communication method by a first next generation radio access network (NG-RAN) for onboarding and provisioning in non-public network (NPN), comprising:
transmitting, by the first NG-RAN, an NPN cell identification imposed on an access stratum (AS) level to a user equipment (UE), wherein the NPN cell identification imposed on the AS level comprises at least one of the followings:
wherein a synchronization sequence for NPN is transmitted in one or more synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) on an initial bandwidth part (BWP) by an NPN cell;
wherein in a broadcasting system information on a downlink (DL) BWP, an NPN identifier (ID) is present in an NPN access related information, an information element, (IE) and an NPN access permission is present in a cell usage IE;
wherein the DL BWP for NPN is used to transmit an SSB and related system information; or
wherein an access class permission is transmitted in system information on the DL BWP for NPN access allowance.
