1. An electronic device for a base station, wherein the base station controls multiple transmission and reception points (TRPs) to jointly serve a particular terminal device, and the electronic device comprises a processing circuit, wherein the processing circuit is configured to:
in response to that a first TRP and a second TRP are a master TRP and a secondary TRP respectively serving the terminal device:
provide to the first TRP with measurement configuration information for the terminal device, wherein the measurement configuration information specifies that the terminal device performs measurements on at least the first TRP and the second TRP; and
receive a first update request message from the first TRP,
wherein the first update request message indicates that the second TRP is to become the master TRP serving the terminal device and the first TRP is to become the secondary TRP serving the terminal device,
wherein the processing circuit is further configured to receive a second update request message from the first TRP, wherein the second update request message indicates that the third TRP is to replace the second TRP and become the secondary TRP serving the terminal device and
wherein:
the first TRP and the base station are implemented as a same device or separate devices;
the second TRP and the base station are implemented as separate devices or a same device; and/or
the base station is a satellite communications device.
